Android Question Display a screen

[peggjones]

Can anyone help me please?

I have a fairly simple requirement, something I do all the time in other languages.

I display a list of records from a database in a webview (this bit I can do OK).

I then want to be able to to tap on a row and present another screen with details of the row I tapped. I can't work out how to display the second screen.

I'm sure there's a simple answer but I Just can't find it, is there a simple show screen function somewhere?

Many Thanks.

To give you an idea, you could open a new activity or make a panel visible.

Take a look at THIS example.

Thanks for that it has improved my understanding of activities. The problem I'm having now is finding a way to display my data on the second form.

The following code

Dim edittext1 As EditText

edittext1.text = Main.dcode

Activity.LoadLayout("Detail")

Produces an error saying editext1 must be initialized.

Doesn't "edittext1.text = Main.dcode" initialize it?

No, each activity is independent, but you can pass VARIABLES values from one activity to another if you have defined them in Process_Globals.

Thanks but I am successfully passing the variable between modules in variable Main.dcode, the problem
occurs when it executes
"edittext1.text = Main.dcode"
it says edittext1 needs to be initialized. I can't work out how to do it.

Thanks.

If you have "edittext1" in your "Detail" layout, then change the order in your code, you should have edittext1.text = Main.dcode after Activity.LoadLayout("Detail")
