Hi

I have few questions
1. I did not understand how can I use the timer, what exactly I need to do?

2. if I have buttons from 1 to 10 and another var called num with numbers of 1 of 10, how can I do something like Button&num.color=colors.red

3. how do I do - when clicking button1 it will play "sound.wav"

Thanks
Shay

1. Add a timer in the designer. You start the timer by settings its Enabled property to True.
2. See the Runtime controls manipulation tutorial: Tutorials - Basic4ppc / Basic4android - Android programming
3. See the Sound keyword.

Click to expand...

It's a long time since I used the trial version so I don't remember if there was anything missing (I thought only the extra libraries were not available).

So what is the last control that you see on the Controls menu, above "Menu Editor"?

Mike.

Are you asking about Basic4ppc or Basic4android?
This is the Basic4ppc subforum.

Instead of adding a timer with the designer you should just write:

B4X:

Dim Timer1 As Timer

I recommend you to follow some of the tutorials listed here: Basic4android - Android programming with Gui designer

There is an example of dealing with multiple views in the Variables & Objects tutorial.
