Hi Fangles
There must be a way but I don't know how to do it. When my phone is connected to the PC via USB, it is charging anyway, so not a problem here.
Other possibilities:
Save the APK to an Android USB stick;
Upload the APK file to your website or virtual drive/cloud and then download it to your phone via the browser (phone in debug mode).
IdeasVacuum, there's no problem to upload an apk wirelessy to the phone, I have any number of utilities to do that.
But the problem is that when you compile an APK, spiderbasic expects the phone to be connected via usb and it totally hung, needing task manager to kill it. And it didn't create the apk.
Strangely enough, the next time I relaunched spiderbasic and did that (exact same procedure above) again, this time it didn't hang and DID create the apk.
What a difference in file size this version makes too!!!
My old spiderbasic test code was 24.4 meg in size.
The latest spiderbasic compiles it as 1.52 meg. Yippeee!
Too late to make a happy birthday app for my wife's phone, it's today!! (And I don't yet know what I am doing)
Whoops!! I spoke too soon. My phone's package manager says the apk is corrupt. No idea how, it's just a straight compile and works in the browser. Damnit.
