Android Question [ SOLVED ] [B4X] Editable B4XTable + Form with time field

[jimmyF]

I have tried just about everything and I can not figure out how to edit the Time value.

No problem setting a default value in btnAdd sub:

Sub btnAdd_Click
Dim m As Map = CreateMap()
    m.Initialize
    m.Put("Type","Delivery")
    m.Put("ONum","")
    m.Put("Address","")
    m.Put("Phone","613-")
  
    lperiod.Hours = DateTime.GetHour(DateTime.Now)
    lperiod.Minutes = DateTime.GetMinute(DateTime.Now)
    m.Put("Time",lperiod)
    ShowDialog(Item, RowId)

And it works fine with those defaults set.

But when I try to edit the data, (Called from btnEdit_Click) the programme crashes when it gets to this line in the Sub ShowDialog(Item, RowId):

Wait For (PrefDialog.ShowDialog(Item, "OK", "CANCEL")) Complete (Result As Int)

Error log:
Error occurred on line: 359 (PreferencesDialog)
java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.String cannot be cast to b4a.example.dateutils$_period

You cannot add a Period object to B4XTable. You need to convert it to a string and vice versa.

'Example: params.AddAll(Array(Item.Get("Type"), Item.Get("Name"), Item.Get("Birth Date"), TimePeriodToString(Item.Get("Time"))))
Sub TimePeriodToString (p As Period) As String
   Return $"$1.0{p.Hours}:$2.0{p.Minutes}"$
End Sub

Sub StringToTimePeriod (s As String) As Period
   Dim m As Matcher = Regex.Matcher("(\d+):(\d+)", s)
   Dim p As Period
   If m.Find Then
       p.Initialize
       p.Hours = m.Group(1)
       p.Minutes = m.Group(2)
   Else
       Log("Invalid time string: " & s)
   End If
   Return p
End Sub

'Call this when you want to get an item from the table.
Sub GetItemFromRow(RowId As Long) As Map
   Dim Item As Map = B4XTable1.GetRow(RowId)
   Item.Put("Time", StringToTimePeriod(Item.Get("Time")))
   Return Item
End Sub
