COMPILING ERROR unknown member?

[AntonBrz]

Just bought B4A two days ago. I'm sorry if this is a newbie question, but who else can I ask? I created several views in the designer, with buttons or images, they show up correctly on the emulator from designer, and made sure to save them. Yet when i try to compile any of these tests I get the following error, "unkown member" What's up?



Parsing code. 0.02
Compiling code. Error
Error compiling program.
Error description: Unknown member: loadlayout{example}
Occurred on line: 34
Activity.LoadLayout{example}
Word: loadlayout{example}

Welcome to the forum.

Can you post your code please!

Here is the code;

(This is just what you get with you start a new program and save it. A program with an image added. My name for the view file created in the designer matches the file name, when I try different names and watch capitalization, tried different names, ie test, mytest, example, even dufensmertz. Always get that unknown member error.

Replace

Activity.LoadLayout{mytest}

by

Activity.LoadLayout(mytest)

You should use code tags to show code with the # button.

Best regards.

Replace

Activity.LoadLayout{mytest}

by

Activity.LoadLayout(mytest)

You should use code tags to show code with the # button.

Best regards.

Shouldn't mytest be contained within quotes:

Activity.LoadLayout("mytest")

mytest doesn't seem to be a String variable so should be quoted.

changing the brackets worked

Thank you. when I changed {.... } to ( ... ) it longer gave a member not found code. However it gave another error:

Parsing code Error
Error parsing program.
Error description: Undeclared variable 'test' is used before it was assigned any value.
Occurred on line: 33
Activity.LoadLayout(test) error on compiling.

Do I say "Dim test As Test" ---or "Dim Test As test?"

 

[AntonBrz]

Never mind, it worked when I...



Never mind, I inserted "DIM test AS String" up top in the globals, and it compiles fine. I'm a newbie, tremendously excited. I've been trying to write Android programs for weeks using Titanium Eclipse and never got anything to run! Wren I saw it compile I joyfully shouted "It works, it works!: Kind of like Colin Clive in the 1931 Frankenstiein.

Final Problem I hope

My "Nevermind' was premature. Yes, the app did compile without error. And the icon for the test appeared in the Virtual Android apps screen, BUT when I tired to run it, then virtual Android went black with the spinning indicator for a long time, then said it couldn't find the designer test file, just as the compiler had, although now it passes the compiler without error. Should I find the file it need and put it in my project file where the resources are?

Remove "DIM test AS String" and change this:

Activity.LoadLayout(test)

To this:

Activity.LoadLayout("test")
