Android Question Public Variables in VB4A

[trepdas]

unfortunately , I still have problems implementing the difference with private and public variables in b4a.

in vb6 I used to create an external module and declare there the public variables (to be accessed from anywhere)



in vb4a I have two variables. let's say :

MP As MediaPlayer

Public MuteFlag As Boolean

I try to put those in the starter module inside the Sub Process_Globals

but when I try to access it from another activity - it won't work.


the only way I could compile it is by declaring it in the main module in the Sub Process_Globals

and then use :

Main.MP.Load (File.DirAssets, "sound.wav")         

            If Main.MuteFlag = False Then
            Main.MP.Play

End If

So

where would I declare MuteFlag and call it from any module by it's name (without the Main.Muteflag)

lots of text for a newbie question, I know.

any kind of example codes or help or a link to a tutorial will be very appreciated

Thanks

There is NO SUCH THING like
VB4A

The language is b4x and your question is about B4A

LOL
Thanks.
That's a good point to start with

it won't work

you should have the code inside the service, not inside the main. In all activities other than main.

Main.MP.Play

Main is paused at the time another activity is in front. So you can not run code in this activity.

In the starter module? I fear you are referring to the Main activity.

Declare them in the Starter service module (and initialize them in the Service_Create).

Then use them from anywhere, using Starter.MuteFlag...
