Satellites.Size Error

[ValDog]

I am working on a function to alert me when GPS is lost, and found a routine in the forum like the following (which I am using in my Main Activity):

Sub GPS_GpsStatus (Satellites As List)
Dim GPSFix As Boolean
GPSFix = False
For i = 0 To Satellites.Size - 1
Dim Satellite As GPSSatellite
Satellite = Satellites.Get(i)
If Satellite.UsedInFix = True Then GPSFix = True
Next
...
End Sub

When I compile, I get a Java error related to the Satellites.Size method call:

...
For i = 0 To Satellites.Size - 1
javac 1.6.0_31
src\b4a\gsight\main.java:1455: cannot find symbol
symbol : method getSize()
location: class b4a.gsight.satellites
final double limit445 = (int)(mostCurrent._satellites.getSize()-1);


It acts as if it is not recognizing Satellites as a List object. I use a very similar routine in another Activity, also with the Satellites.Size method call - which works just fine.

Does anyone have a clue as to what may be the cause of this error?

i take it that the code is still within the GPS_GpsStatus sub routine??

just asking

Yes, as shown above...

Can you upload your project (File - Export as zip)?

I saw your code. You can see that Satellites literal color is purple. This is the color of global variables.

The compiler usually warns you for such cases. In this case Satellites is a name of a different module and the compiler misses it.

The solution is to change the parameter name.

Erel - thanks very much for your help!
