access views from a code module

[vangogh]

from my code module I should read and write the content of a label in an activity module

but

myactivity.lblmylabel.text = "working - please wait"

does not work, because lblmylabel is not visible from other modules, and I cannot define it in process_globals

what can I do?

(in basic4android i fell the lack of modules/activity intercommunication... I am writing all my "multipage" prog in a single activity module, using tons of panels...)

thank you

Call a helper Sub in the Activity passing it the text and let it set the Label. Alternatively you could pass the Label as a parameter in a call to a Sub in the code module.

I was too slow, very simple example of passing the label attached.

Ok I will try

thank you

 

[vangogh]

it works.

it would be really useful if, from an activity or a code module, I could access the (other) activity views, without passing them as parameters... (they could be a lot)

thank you.

This is not possible because of the way Android works. The views of an activity are only available when the activity is in the foreground. A public reference in a code module would cause a memory leak as the views will not be able to be released when needed.
