Android Question java.lang.RuntimeException: Object should first be initialized (EditText).

[Rotterdamse Adje]

After upgrading B4A to the latest version 10.7 (and after following the guidelines related to java downloads etc) I'm trying to re-build my existing (commercial) project.
After solving problems with the NET library (to be able to use FTP) and after renaming the MsgBox to MsgBoxAsync The project is compiling (in debug mode).
But when i'm try to run it with B4A-Bridge, the following errors occurred :

Error occurred on line: 140 (Main)​

java.lang.RuntimeException: Object should first be initialized (EditText).​

Did you forget to call Activity.LoadLayout?​

at anywheresoftware.b4a.AbsObjectWrapper.getObject(AbsObjectWrapper.java:67)​

at anywheresoftware.b4a.objects.TextViewWrapper.getText(TextViewWrapper.java:36)​

- and 21 errorlines more -​

In the current version of the app, i've declared:

Sub Globals​

Dim etxtEmailadres As EditText​

Dim etxtPassword As EditText​

....​

End Sub​

​

And the Activity.LoadLayout("myForm") of the related form is in the Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)

The errorline is in the :

137 Sub Activity_Pause (UserClosed As Boolean)​

138​

139​

➡140 glUserid = etxtEmailadres.Text.ToLowerCase​

141 glPassword = etxtPassword.Text.ToUpperCase ​

142 End Sub​

What is wrong?

I assume that you are expecting myForm to include etxtEmailadres and that LoadLayout will initialize it. Check for a spelling mistake in the designer.

On the previous version of B4A there was no single problem with building the app, the .APK works fine on Android Phones, the old build still works.
With the new version, the error I receive now is:
ToonOmzet - 9: Cannot access activity object from sub Process_Globals.

6 Sub Process_Globals
7  'These global variables will be declared once when the application starts.
8    'These variables can be accessed from all modules.
9    Dim glLiveOmzet As LiveOmzet
10    'Dim tempPathFile As String
11      Dim Timer1 As Timer
12    Dim glFTPPassword As String
13    Dim FTP As FTP
14 End Sub

LiveOmzet is a class module to communicate with the screen on the Android phone. In the previous version it was not a problem. Where do I have to put the statement

 Dim glLiveOmzet As LiveOmzet

?
If I put it in the

 Sub Globals ...End Sub

then I get the error: Unknown member: glLiveOmzet !
Andif I delete the statement

 Dim glLiveOmzet As LiveOmzet

then I get a log list with errors

With the new version, the error I receive now is:
ToonOmzet - 9: Cannot access activity object from sub Process_Globals.

Can you post the Class_Globals sub of this class?

 

[Rotterdamse Adje]

Yes, see following code:

Sub Class_Globals
#Region 'oude dims
'    Dim Password As String
'    Dim datum As String 'de laatste datum
'    Dim tijd As String 'de laatste tijd
'    Dim OmzDames As Double
'    Dim OmzHeren As Double
'    Dim KortEnServ As Double 
'    Dim aantalAfrekeningen As Int 'aantal afrekeningen van vandaag
'    Dim FTPCompleted As Boolean 
'    Dim FTPSucces  As Boolean
#End Region
    Dim SamRTOmzetlines As List
    Private Activity As Activity
End Sub

Additional, I've added the source code of the class module

 

[Erel]

It has nothing to do with the new version.
If a class has a global variable that needs an activity context, such as views or Activity, then it cannot be declared in Process_Globals. The best solution, of course, is to switch to B4XPages and forget from all of these nuances.

You can declare the class instance in Globals instead of Process_Globals.

Thanks for helping me on this! Changing locations was the answer
