Android Question Is this a bug - Trying to have a space at end of a string?

[woodpecker]

Trying to set the text of panel to a word with a space followed by a variable seems to result in the variable not being display, is this a bug or something I'm doing wrong?

pnl1.Text = "Distance " & DtoTarget

Only displays Distance and no varable.

This works but I want a space after the word.

pnl1.Text = "Distance" & DtoTarget

Also tried using & Chr(32) same result???

pnl1.Text = "Distance " & DtoTarget

does work for me like expected. For sure i need a LABEL not a panel. a Panel does not have a Text property.

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
    Activity.LoadLayout("1")
    If MapFragment1.IsGooglePlayServicesAvailable = False Then
        ToastMessageShow("Please install Google Play Services.", True)
    End If
    
    Dim distance As String = "5 miles"
    Label1.Text = "Distance "&distance
    
End Sub

I think there was something weird with my variable, it now seems to work ok, it was a label, I confused myself calling in pnl etc

Perhaps your label width is not enough to accommodate the text plus the number and it is wrapping to a 2nd line at the space character?
