Not connecting to Companion

OK, you are going to be like that :wink:

AP = Appinventor project.

We just call them aia projects.

What is in your Word_position_game_9 project that might be causing a problem?

Block numbers
Real Screen numbers
Too many images / other media
Extensions

I'd guess its the "dynamic Components " extension ?

Meanwhile I did scan JEWEL's QR to install version 2.72d4 .
But now I DO get an error "Companion is out of date " :frowning:

It might be 6 months ago now since I ran this AP.
But I did many times successfully.

You can just ignore the CIOOD message and continue to install the CA variant.

Check the AIX version, it may need to be updated.

I uninstalled and reinstalled 2.72 .
How do I find versions of Extensions ? ( this is 4 years old and V4 )

You may need to check all your aix versions, could be any of them if you have several at 4 years old.

See here:

search

Thanks. I found it( I thot) [F/OS] - Dynamic Components Extension (for every component) 2.3.0 - Extensions - Kodular Community
AND I managed to avoid deleting the existing extension but IMPORT this one .
AND got friendly message ( Extension Upgraded ) .
But now is v2.3 where before it was v4.
AND I'm still getting exact same -- nothing happens.

Can you share your aia project (AP) here for testing ?

Word_Position_Game_9.aia (370.8 KB)

Opens and works/runs just fine in companion (2.72u) here on a Google Pixel 8a Android 14.

What is your environment, Android version, companion version, Device Make and Model ?

Andriod 14 , Companion 2.72, Samsung Galaxy A53
How'd I get 2.72u ?

You can install it from AI2:

Only issue I can see may be Samsung Galaxy A53.

You may need to try the companion variant from the QR code linked above.

Running 2.72u has the same problem.
I get the impression that the progress bar ( in Chrome) terminates before completing .
And around 6+ months ago I was still using the A53 successfully.

I meant HERE

Thanks but I already tried 2.72d4 ( see prior post)
But I did it cos I saw a NOT NOW response which I never tried before.
And thsi time I get an arror " Unable to load extensions.java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: start 1, end 0, length 0
"

  1. OK, reset the AI2 app and the companion.

  2. Load companion on your device and check for version 2.72d4

  3. Start AI2 and try to connect your project.

If that doesn't work, make a backup of your aia, then remove the Drag and Drop extension.
Then do steps 1-3 again.

Does it work ?

And then I simply TRIED IT AGAIN and it worked ! ?

Was that with companion 2.72d4 ?

There is a more up to date and supported DragnDrop extension HERE

I am off to see if I can get my "Hercule Poirot" badge now :wink:

Ye I've connected several times now successfully.
Thank you so much for your help
I guess I stick to 2.72d4 and remember to click NOT NOW when it thinks its out of date .
