Android Question Problems with CallSub

[clooney48]

Hi!

Ich have an activity called "Settings" where I fill some variables (defined in Process_Globals). So when I start the main activity I want to execute in Activity_Create the sub "PrepareStrings" of Settings and get the value of the variable "sJa" which is defined in the sub "PrepareStrings". But the debugger shows that the sub "PrepareStrings" isn´t called.

'Main

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
...   
    CallSub(Settings, "PrepareStrings")
    Msgbox(Settings.sJa,"")
end Sub

Use CallSubDelayed instead, CallSub doesn't work on Activities that are paused.

Ok, now I get:

java.lang.Exception: Sub preparestrings signature does not match expected signature.
** Activity (settings) Resume **

It seems you have arguments on that sub, please post your code to better understand what's going on.

Yes, I forgot the argument in the sub. Now I get the result. But it is not clear to me how to get the content of the other variables like "sJa" etc in Main from Settings. I thought I could see it for example with: msgbox(Settings.sJa,"")!? But nothing and apparently the code doesn´t get on after "Msgbox(Settings.sJa,"")" because the screen is black?? Perhaps a missing library for the line " r.RunStaticMethod("java.util.Locale", "getDefault", Null, Null)"?

The original intention is only to run the Settings when Main is startet that I can get the different variables "sJa", "sNein" etc. for the procedure in the Main.

'Main
Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
.....
    CallSubDelayed2(Settings, "PrepareStrings", "")
    Msgbox(Settings.sJa,"")
    Activity.LoadLayout("StartView")
End Sub
---------------------------
'Settings
Sub PrepareStrings(Title As String)

  If Language = "" Then
  Dim r As Reflector
  r.Target = r.RunStaticMethod("java.util.Locale", "getDefault", Null, Null)
  Language = r.RunMethod("getLanguage")
   Msgbox(Language,"")
  End If

  Select Case Language
  Case "de": PrepareStringsDE
  Case Else: PrepareStringsEN: Language = "en"
  End Select

End Sub

Sub PrepareStringsDE
  sJa = "Ja"
  sNein = "Nein"
  sEin = "Ein"
  sAus = "Aus"
  '...
End Sub

Sub PrepareStringsEN
  sJa = "Yes"
  sNein = "No"
  sEin = "On"
  sAus = "Off"
  '...
End Sub

CallSubDelayed is opening the Settings activity and staying there, if you just want to assign values to variables, then use a code module instead of an activity module.

Hi NJDude!

I understand! Works perfect now!
Thanks a lot!
