via usb but when i press conect

You dont need to click on connect using usb debugging.
If you have enabled usb-debugging in your devices developer options and you connect your device using usb then your computer wil recognize your device and make it accessible in windows.

At the same thime in b4a the device is known as available. If you click on compile then b4a will install the app on the connected device.

i know this don but it does not make b4 a say device not found.....
and this is my question why?
i have a samsung duos with android version 4.2.2

 

[DonManfred]

If you click on connect then b4a will search for devices using the bridge.... As there is no bridge running you´ll get a device not found.
DONT cick on connect when you use USB-Debudding!

Edit: If i click on the B4A-Bridge: Disconnected (bottom) then i get an error saying ping failed.

 

[ronell]

is this the error? if yes then maybe your device is not recognize by your pc

 

[jchal]

yes this is the error, but when i go from windows explorer i can see the entire device it is connected to the pc and i have acess from the pc to the device.
how is it possible not to be recognizes?

 

[ronell]

check device manager

 

[jchal]

can you be a bit more specific?

 

[ronell]

check if there is no problem in your android driver

On some devices you need to set the USB connection mode to MTP or PTP(?).

for some strange reason the phone needs a driver!!!! athougth it is connected and gives me access to my data.....

as i thought

for some strange reason the phone needs a driver

I´m not sure if it is the Driver listed in the SDK-Manager? There is a Google Device Driver in the extras section.... Worth a try to install it with the SDK-Manager and reconnect your device after it is installed... See what happen

 

[jchal]

i found the driver it is a usb driver for the phone, i was not expecting this at all , as i was able to browse all the files in the phone.
