Android Question Total newbie question re B4A Bridge

[MikeJH]

I've completed the first tutorial. Installed B4A Bridge on phone etc. On first compile the app appears on my phone an runs as expected.
I've closed the IDE and restarted my computer.
I've opened B4A IDE, loaded my completed tutorial program and Designer and connected to my phone.
At this point B4A IDE installs an APP called B4A Design on my phone.

1. Where did that come from?
2. I can't get my tutorial program to run on the phone anymore - waiting for IDE debugger to connect.

Thanks very much

The B4A Design app is to enable WYSIWYG view of layouts on your phone from Designer.

Re: connecting phone to IDE - check B4A Bridge app is running and waiting for connection, and what IP address to connect to via the IDE Tools Bridge Connect menu item*. Perhaps the router shuffled IP addresses about when you restarted computer.


* not at computer right now, so this might not be the precise wording ;-)

Compile the app in RELEASE Mode (not DEBUG) and you can start the app on the device manually. When compiled in Debug mode then you need to run the app from the Ide.

The B4A Design APP reply makes sense
IP-Address was the same.
Thanks

Compiling in RELEASE mode - perfect
Thanks
