Android Question Newbie: How to do a synchonous RDC query

[Tom Skotnicki]

I have been using B4A for only a few days. I have succeeded in connecting to a remote database with RDC, running a query, and putting the results in a local SQLLite table using DBUtils. However, I need to ensure that the user waits for the process to complete before proceeding. After reading forum threads extensively, I am not seeing a way to do that other that to set a process global flag when calling the DBRequest and clearing it when the process completes. Is there a more elegant way to do this?

Thanks, great product, I am very impressed.

You cannot hold the main thread while waiting for the server response.

There are many ways to manage the program state. If you just want to prevent the user from doing anything while waiting the the response you can call ProgressDialogShow2 and then hide it in the JobDone event.
