B4J Question Can not get ABMbutton click event to work

Hi all,

This is sort of like my previous problems but this time AMButton

My page file is quit similar but I will include below, note extra log statements in Page_ParseEvent.

My problem is that I can not get the click sub to fire. Page_ParseEvent receives the event but can NOT find the sub. I have checked the event name and sub name but can not see the problem.

B4X:
'Class module
Sub Class_Globals
    Private ws As WebSocket 'ignore
    ' will hold our page information
    Public page As ABMPage
    ' page theme
    Private theme As ABMTheme
    ' to access the constants
    Private ABM As ABMaterial 'ignore   
    ' name of the page, must be the same as the class name (case sensitive!)
    Public Name As String = "Observ"  '<-------------------------------------------------------- IMPORTANT
    ' will hold the unique browsers window id
    Private ABMPageId As String = ""
    ' your own variables
    ' Any controls we need to pickup events from must be declared here.
    Dim cmbMobs As ABMCombo
    Dim cmbBeasts As ABMCombo
    Dim DP As ABMDateTimePicker
    Dim rbgroupB As ABMRadioGroup        ' Beast grouping
    Dim rbgroupO As ABMRadioGroup        ' observation type grouping
    Dim obsNotes As ABMInput
    Dim btnSave As ABMButton
End Sub

'Initializes the object. You can add parameters to this method if needed.

    ' build the local structure IMPORTANT!
    Main.currAction = uiUtils.getAction("Observation",Main.actions)

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>  page_visibilitystate - Raised
Sub page_visibilitystate NOT FOUND in Page_ParseEvent
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>  btnsave_clicked - Raised
Sub btnsave_clicked NOT FOUND in Page_ParseEvent

Just to reinforce:-
Here is the sub call :- Sub butsave_clicked(Target As String)

What am I missing? Seems every control I try to use I have problems with the events!

I can't see the issue.

However, components are not usually defined in Sub_Globals.
These are declared (inited - with ID's) in the ConnectPage sub.

???

Seems to me you are over-complicating the design and flow. However - I am certainly no expert...

The button click should be raised - regardless. All seems declared properly.
But I can't understand what you do in the event... (although it should till raise it).
Button click events are simple and i NEVER have an issue unless improperly defined ( usually the ID misspelled ).

I am sure you have - since you are this far in ABM, but possibly review the dummies tut to see where this F'd up...

I take a simpler approach (cause I am simple minded) - whereas you (may) call many other methods within an event... Hard to debug.

Dim btnSave As ABMButton
My eyes have not yet seen the light... Constantly blurred as they are...
Working on a current project - mostly copy and paste from a previous - I DON'T ENCOUNTER ANY ISSUES. Tis the beauty of ABM.

OK problem solved! Thanks to Harris's post #4.
Turned out to be a null variable in my code. Looks like the safest thing to do is only have a single call to a sub in there.
I still find it curious that my error generated a sub not found error.

Thanks all I am only a week into ABM and 1 month into B4X so are very green.

ps How do you flag the issue as solved? I see this on some posts.
