frustrated newbie

I finally got all my ducks in a rowr and tried to compile the hello world app.
I followed the example and got the message, "Process global is missing". OK, maybe the guy who wrote the example had a bad day. I added "process global.

Ran it again and got:
Compiling code. Error
Error compiling program.
Error description: Missing parameter.
Occurred on line: 14
Msgbox ("hello world")
Word: )

Here's my hello world statement:
Sub app_start
Msgbox ("hello world")
End Sub

Please tell me I'm stupid. I don't want to put on the guy who wrote the example.

Here's a problem:

Msgbox ("hello world")

It should be:

Msgbox ("hello world", "")

Made the correction and now get"

Compiling code. 0.05
Compiling layouts code. 0.00
Generating R file. 0.59
Compiling generated Java code. Error

You better upload your project to better understand what you are doing, from the IDE click on File -> Export As ZIP

My project:

'Activity module
Sub Process_Globals
'These global variables will be declared once when the application starts.
'These variables can be accessed from all modules.

End Sub

Sub Globals
'These global variables will be redeclared each time the activity is created.

End Sub

Sub app_start


Msgbox ("hello world", "")

End Sub

That's an incomplete project, that's why I asked you upload your project, is not rocket science to do that you know , I indicated you what to do.

Hi,
your main activity should look like this

'Activity module
Sub Process_Globals
   'These global variables will be declared once when the application starts.
   'These variables can be accessed from all modules.

End Sub

Sub Globals
   'These global variables will be redeclared each time the activity is created.
   'These variables can only be accessed from this module.

End Sub

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
 Msgbox("Hello world","My first app")
End Sub

Sub Activity_Resume

End Sub

Sub Activity_Pause (UserClosed As Boolean)

End Sub

I hope this helps

Sub app_start

App_Start is Basic4ppc starting point. I do not know where you took it from but Basic4ppc is a different product.

I recommend you to start with the beginner's guide here: http://www.b4x.com/android/documentation.html
