Android Question getdata from intent null error

[Milan Bozic]

In getting data from an intent, I get error

Error occurred on line: 1124 (Main)
java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'int java.lang.String.length()' on a null object reference

Sub GetIntentData(i As Intent) As String
    Dim r As Reflector
    r.Target = i
    Return r.RunMethod("getDataString")
End Sub

If Activity.GetStartingIntent <> intent1 Then
        Dim dstest As Boolean
        Dim DataString As String
        intent1 = Activity.GetStartingIntent
        'only after initialization complete
        If (intent1 <> Null) And (AllDone = True) Then
            Log ("ok intent")
           
            'Log(GetIntentData(intent1))  ''this one works
            Log (intent1.GetData) ''this one does not work!! line 1124
            'see https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/using-intent-getdata.11055/
            'but was an old one .. how come???
       
        dstest = intent1.HasExtra("com.symbol.datawedge.data_string")

Strange thing: when using b4a version 8.30 there was no error, then upgraded to b4a 8.80, and error popped up.

No need to use GetIntentData. It will return the exact same thing as intent.GetData.

Strange thing: when using b4a version 8.30 there was no error, then upgraded to b4a 8.80, and error popped up.

The B4A version doesn't matter.

The problem is somewhere else...
