Android Question Label Tag property

[elitevenkat]

I am trying to assign a map data type to a label tag property. In the label click event, creating a map type. however the label.tag property is shown as an empty string.

'in jobdone i am initialising a mapvariable and moving data 

Dim mTable As Map
                    mTable.Initialize
                       
                    mTable.Put(0,row(3))   ' occupied / vacant
                    mTable.Put(1,row(7))   ' unsettled
                    mTable.Put(2,row(11))  ' hold   
                    mTable.Put(3,row(0))   ' tablepckey
                    mTable.Put(4,row(4))   ' captain name
                    mTable.Put(5,row(5))   ' waiter name
                    mTable.Put(6,row(6))   ' pax 
                    mTable.Put(7,row(9))   ' captain key
                    mTable.Put(8,row(10))   ' waiter key
                   
   
                    lblTable.Text=row(1)
                    lblTable.Tag=mTable
                   
Log("tag size " & mTable.Size)    ' result 9
Log("Tag " & lblTable.Tag) ' result {0=false, 1=false, 2=false, 3=335, 4=, 5=, 6=1, 7=15, 8=25}


Sub lblTable_Click
    Dim l As Label
    l=Sender
         
    Log("text "  & l.Text)  ' result 14B
   
    Log("tag "  & l.Tag)     ' result tag - no value     

    Dim m As Map
    m=l.Tag                  ' HERE I GET ERROR

the same kind of code works fine in a B4J project.

Most likely the label clicked is not the one that contains that tag.

Write also Log(lblTable.Text) after the other logs.

[Suggestion: use constants for the index of the map, like

Public Const XXX_OCCUPIED As Int = 1
Public Const XXX_UNSETTLED As Int = 2
Public Const XXX_HOLD As Int = 3

replacing XXX with something meaningful

Using contents suggestion taken well. In fact the l.text value is displaying correctly. The sub click event is correct.

Are you sure?
I meant: insert a log for the label text when you fill it:

Log("tag size " & mTable.Size) ' result 9
Log("Tag " & lblTable.Tag) ' result {0=false, 1=false, 2=false, 3=335, 4=, 5=, 6=1, 7=15, 8=25}

not only in the label click routine.

I'm pretty sure that they are two different labels.
