Android Question trouble with writeb4xobject

[techknight]

I am having a weird issue with the Writeb4xobject function telling me the map isnt initialized when it is...

Here is my subroutine:

Sub WriteConfig
    Dim R As RandomAccessFile
    Dim AppSettings As Map
    R.Initialize(File.DirInternal, "settingsv2.ini", False)
    AppSettings.Initialize
    AppSettings.Put("ConfigVersion", ConfigVersion)
    AppSettings.Put("Brightnessval", CommEngine.Brightnessval)
    AppSettings.Put("TeamName", ScoreEngine.TeamName)
    AppSettings.Put("GameOptions", ScoreEngine.GameOptions)
    AppSettings.Put("GameData", ScoreEngine.GameData)
    AppSettings.Put("Baseball", ScoreEngine.Baseball)
    AppSettings.Put("Soccer", ScoreEngine.Soccer)
    AppSettings.Put("GameClock", ScoreEngine.GameClock)
    Log(AppSettings.IsInitialized)
    R.WriteB4XObject(AppSettings, 0)
    R.Close
End Sub

A screenshot which shows the line numbers.

Here is my error log:

true
Error occurred on line: 142 (Common)

** Activity (main) Pause, UserClosed = true **

the true is the log telling me the map is initialized, but clearly its not when it tries to write b4xobject

thoughts? Thanks.

Are any of the items in ScoreEngine a map by chance? If so, is that map initialized?

ScoreEngine is a code module, that's where my global variables sit.

What is funny is if i comment out "Baseball" it works. leave baseball uncommented, it doesnt.

I can initialize baseball with ScoreEngine.Baseball.Initialize, and then store it? same problem.

 

[techknight]

Wait... I think i found the problem. Baseball variable points to a customtype, and inside that custom type i have a couple of Maps.

Im not using those maps yet, and i wonder if thats why....

Yes. All maps have to be initialized. Even unused ones. Part of initializing your custom type should be the initialization of any lists, maps, objects, etc. contained in it, especially if you want to write the object to a file
