Android Question timer problem

[John Decowski]

Im getting this error upon activating my timer no idea why. Ive used timers in the past and havent go this code before?

Sub Process_Globals
    'These global variables will be declared once when the application starts.
    'These variables can be accessed from all modules.
    Dim slidedown As Timer
    slidedown.Initialize("SlideDown1" ,1000)
    slidedown.Enabled = False
    Dim Slidertop As Long
End Sub

Sub Globals
    'These global variables will be redeclared each time the activity is created.
    'These variables can only be accessed from this module.

    Private pnlSlide As Panel
    Private imgTradeBuddyLogo2 As ImageView
    
End Sub

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
    'Do not forget to load the layout file created with the visual designer. For example:
    Activity.LoadLayout("tbmain")
    pnlSlide.Top = ((pnlSlide.Height * -1) + (imgTradeBuddyLogo2.Height) ) + 5dip
    Slidertop = pnlSlide.top
    imgTradeBuddyLogo2.top = pnlSlide.height - imgTradeBuddyLogo2.height' this adds it up and multiplys by neg 1 to turn number negative
End Sub

Sub Activity_Resume

End Sub

Sub Activity_Pause (UserClosed As Boolean)

End Sub

Sub SlideDown1_tick
    If pnlSlide.Top > = 1 Then
        slidedown.Enabled = False
    Else
        pnlSlide.Top = pnlSlide.Top + 10
    End If
End Sub

Sub imgTradeBuddylogo1_Click
    'slidedown.Enabled = True
End Sub

Sub imgTradeBuddyLogo2_Click
    slidedown.Interval = 10
    slidedown.Enabled = True
End Sub

Error code:

u need to move this into activity create.
(b4a 9.3 wrote a info at mouse over.)

slidedown.Initialize("SlideDown1" ,1000)
slidedown.Enabled = False

u can also use breakpoints or log(..)

thanks @MarkusR will try! I grabbed the code from a b4j app I made and maybe its fine in b4j?

You should never write code in Process_Globals. Don't ignore the warnings...
