Android Question Question about B4A IDE and Java.exe process

[corwin42]

When B4A (6.0) is started it starts a Java.exe process in the background (Java 1.8u91 installed). This Java process needs much CPU time in some cases, even when nothing special is done in the IDE.

What does this Java process do?

I ask this because sometimes on my system even typing in the B4A IDE is slow and I found out that at this times this Java process uses much CPU time.

Edit: It seems that the java process is not started together with the B4A IDE but when a project is loaded (or just a simple project is saved).

This is the optimized dexer process. Try to set MaxRamForDex to a higher value. It will make it significantly faster.
