Android Question Should I expect any realtime delay using CallSub?

[GuyBooth]

I have two options to obtain the status of a number of MediaPlayers which are running in a service called PlayService. From my main module I can use

Dim bPlayState as boolean
bPlayState = PlayService.MPP1.IsPlaying OR PlayService.MPP2.IsPlaying

OR I can put that same code into a Sub in the service, and call it this way:

' In the main module
Dim bPlayState as boolean
bPlayState = CallSub(PlayService, "PlayStatus")
 
' In the PlayService module:
Dim MPP1, MPP2 as MediaPlayer
Sub PlayStatus() as Boolean
  Return (MPP1.IsPlaying OR MPP2.IsPlaying)
End Sub

My question is: Should I expect any difference in realtime response between these two methods?

The overhead of CallSub is small. You will most probably not see any difference in that case.

However why not use MediaPlayer Complete event?

Thanks for the info Erel - now I can comfortably keep my code compact.
MediaPlayer_Complete is not appropriate for the fairly complex functions I am looking for, but I do use it.
