How to disable Auto-Capitalization?

[Lloyd Olson]

Auto-capitalization is a good thing, I know, but how does one temporarily override it to type:

Dim in As Intent

or: in.Initialize

without auto-capitalization overriding the "i", leaving inescapably "Dim In"
and "In.Initialize. There is no documentation of this and I have no idea how this was done in code examples posted.

I am getting syntax errors trying to compile with the undesired "I".

Such a simple but maddening thing. Can anyone help?

There's no problem with capitalization, "In" is a reserved word (part of For...Each) but it should work anyway.

What version of B4A are you running?

Capitalization

Hey NJDude,

Thanks for replying. As it happens you helped me once before when I was even more of a noob than I am now. v 2.3 is what I'm using.

I have a 6 activity app that will receive digital inputs resulting in Toasts or starting the next Activity automatically if certain connections have been made by the user. After walking the user through the setup (on a Nexus 7 or similar) I want to begin monitoring and logging an analog signal. So I want a button click on my last Activity to shortcut/start into this single Activity "templogger" app. Both packages compile and run on my Nexus.

Thanks again









Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
StartActivity("CreateShortcut")
Dim shortcutIntent As Intent
shortcutIntent.Initialize("", "")
shortcutIntent.SetComponent("com.ioiobook.templogger/.mainactivity") '<--- change to match your package name / and target activity.
shortcutIntent.PutExtra("from_shortcut", True)

Dim In As Intent In.Initialize("", "")
In.PutExtra("android.intent.extra.shortcut.INTENT", shortcutIntent)
In.PutExtra("android.intent.extra.shortcut.NAME", "IOIO Temp Logger")
In.PutExtra("android.intent.extra.shortcut.ICON", LoadBitmap(File.DirAssets, "small_logo.png"))

Activity.SetActivityResult(-1, In)
Activity.Finish Dim In As Intent
In = Activity.GetStartingIntent
Log(In)
If In.HasExtra("from_shortcut") AND In.GetExtra("from_shortcut") = True Then
Msgbox("Launched from shortcut", "")
End If
End Su

'In' is a reserved word in B4A so you shouldn't use it.
Change the name of the Intent to something else.

Best regards.

Thank you for your reply, Klaus.

I will try it with another intent name and either close out this thread with a posting of the code that works or update it if it fails.

Klaus,

I tried replacing "in" with "logger" and the compiler gave me a syntax error.
I think this is a bug in the new version, see my recent post.

Thanks
