I have just started using B4A (paid version) and having trouble with my first program. I have followed the tutorial but I am getting the following error when trying to validate the customerName editText field in sub btnSave_click

Line 37 is the line after the sub btnSave_Click

I used the designer to draw the screen and editText fields.

Thanks
Malcolm

Check the spelling of the view name in the layout. If that looks good, post the whole project (use File->Export as zip in the IDE, then upload the zip file).

... sorry all, my own fault. I have been trying different screen designs and deleted the editText of that name. Please ignore my post.

Just edit the thread title & add a "[SOLVED]" at the front if you can. Also for future posts, it's good if you can be a bit more specific in the thread title - eg: "EditText Initialization Error" (or something) as opposed to "New B4A user". It just helps others to recognize threads they may be able to assist with more quickly.

Glad you got it sorted.

- Colin.
