See Erels answer here! https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/b4xtable-shows-duplicated-columns.104761/#post-656339
You REALLY should follow the advice!!!!! You are still adding colums multiple times.
Don´t expect me to do anything here to help.

I have tried to get your sample project working with no luck. (no data displayed in Table full stop)

There is Data being received from http jobs but it is not getting placed /stored in the database tables for final display in your Table.

It would appear all this current problem / threads is due to the fact you wish your 1st Column Title to have a different Title depending on the data displayed.

Just load your Table Columns Once only in Activity_Create ... (Not in any other Sub) and give the 1st column a title of "Date" (Problem Solved for the time being)

I thought you should be able to change the column title when necessary with ...
B4X:
    Private DateColumn As B4XTableColumn 'Global

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
      
    DateColumn = B4XTable1.AddColumn("Date", B4XTable1.COLUMN_TYPE_TEXT) 
  
         
    'then somewhere later ....  
    DateColumn.Title = "Date Recieved"

but it is not working and I will follow it up ...;)


If you need any further help (regarding records not displaying)you really need to upload the most Basic, Stripped Down sample ...
That has just enough code to achieve what you are trying to do , but failing. (by doing that you will most likely solve the problem yourself. :))

ps: I have a test projects where each new element or task is tested and researched .. only when it is running 100% (well 95%) , do i incorporate it into the main project.
Get the b4xTable example back out and load it with a small amount of dummy data ... in a way that mirrors your project. Keep it very simple.
When you have got it working the way you wish you will have template code for you project.

ps2: you do not need to call DateTime.Format before each DateTime interaction / display code block.
Once you have set the format it is as is until you reset / change the format again.

... because yesterday i tried Erels answer here! https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/b4xtable-shows-duplicated-columns.104761/#post-656339 but the problem still can not be solved please highlight for me that very code that is creating problems.

As a follow up ... (to solve one of your problems )

1. Declare a B4XTableColumn object in Globals ..
2. Set your Table columns in Activity_Create (or somewhere else , But only Once)
3. Edit / change the column title when neccessary


B4X:
Private DateColumn As B4XTableColumn   'Global declaration.

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
    DateColumn = B4XTable1.AddColumn("Date", B4XTable1.COLUMN_TYPE_TEXT)   
    B4XTable1.AddColumn("Sms", B4XTable1.COLUMN_TYPE_TEXT)
    B4XTable1.AddColumn("ID", B4XTable1.COLUMN_TYPE_TEXT)
    '.....................


Sub ShowTable             'Again .. You should rename this to something like ... DisplaySentSMS
    '...........................    
    B4XTable1.SetData(data)
    Dim pnl As B4XView = DateColumn.CellsLayouts.Get(0) 'header panel
    pnl.GetView(0).Text = "Date Sent"


Sub ShowTable2            'how about .. DisplayReceivedSMS
    '...........................   
    B4XTable1.SetData(data)
    Dim pnl As B4XView = DateColumn.CellsLayouts.Get(0) 'header panel
    pnl.GetView(0).Text = "Date Received"

Best of luck ...

thanks for the support where do i place this code
B4X:
Dim rs As ResultSet = Starter.SQL1.ExecQuery("SELECT DISTINCT Datesent,Sms as SentMessage,ID FROM Sentmessages")
    Do While rs.NextRow
        Dim row(4) As Object
        row(0) = rs.Getstring("Datesent")
        row(1) = rs.GetString("SentMessage")
        
        'Log(row(0))
        'Log(row(1))
        'Log(row(2))
        '& " " & rs.GetString("LastName")
        row(2) = rs.GetString("ID")
        'Some of the fields are Null. We need to convert them to empty strings:
        If row(2) = Null Then row(2) = ""
        row(1) = rs.GetString("SentMessage")
        data.Add(row)
    Loop
    rs.Close

Exactly where it is presently. The Sub code I posted above has just been trimmed to show what was necessary.

I Have tried it this way but the code gives me this error
B4X:
    Dim pnl As B4XView = DateColumn.CellsLayouts.Get(0) 'header panel
    pnl.GetView(0).Text = "Date Sent"
    data.Initialize
    Dim rs As ResultSet = Starter.SQL1.ExecQuery("SELECT DISTINCT Datesent,Sms as SentMessage,ID FROM Sentmessages")
    Do While rs.NextRow
        Dim row(4) As Object
        row(0) = rs.Getstring("Datesent")
        row(1) = rs.GetString("SentMessage")
        
        'Log(row(0))
        'Log(row(1))
        'Log(row(2))
        '& " " & rs.GetString("LastName")

        row(1) = rs.GetString("SentMessage")
        data.Add(row)
    Loop
    rs.Close
    B4XTable1.SetData(data)

here is the error i get

your code does not match the error.
The code runs but when it reaches at
B4X:
  B4XTable1.SetData(data)
i get

    'B4XTable1.SetData(data)
End Sub
the codes above show how i have done it now the problem is showing data from the respective tables

The code runs but when it reaches at

Seeing this thread @Erel is probably having a fit....


@Makumbi .. you are not reading well / understanding the replies (maybe a language thing ??)

The uploaded sample project is an exact duplicate of what you uploaded in post#1.

The only changes have been the inclusions of suggested code in post #5 to change Column Title during Runtime.

1. It does not solve other problems you are having ... (data does not show in the Table - All data! ... not just some)
(I have attempted but do not understand / follow your code)

2. try to Log / Study why it does not Display (The data seems to be arriving from http jobs OK)

Once you have decided which problem you which to solve first .. upload a small project so we might understand the issue better.

Maybe time for a fresh thread ..:confused:

Thanks mangojack but the problem is when i click on the sent message i dont see the data returned that is one of my biggest concern i was trying to explain to Erel it is good that you have also seen it . but how comes that when you look at the record counter it shows you 1 out of 4 show which shows that data is already there and wen i look at my log i can see the messages and the dates properly

when i click on the sent message i dont see the data returned

So use many logs ... at many stages ... to show where it is Breaking !


The only way I / We can help ...

1 Start a New Thread , ie: Received Data not showing in Table"

2 Upload a sample project that only contains code to ...
a. display your layout / table
a. get you data via http job ... (Only that Data / Job / Json)
b. process the Json string
c. display the processed data in b4xTable

No More ... No Less

As I stated earlier ... do that and you will probably solve the problem yourself.;)

Thanks mangojack but the problem is when i click on the sent message i don't see the data returned that is one of my biggest concern

I had a fresh look at your sample project in an attempt to understand it more and possibly helping with your problem.
Unfortunately I am still stumped exactly what your trying to achieve (apart from getting some data and displaying in Table.)

I have made some changes to the sample to try and simplify it ... ie. the assets db file now contains all Tables and base info.
I have made comments to explain.
Also I changed some button names to make it clearer what they do in the example.

You will see comments highlighting areas not working .. (I just gave up in the end :confused:)


Probably your first stop might be ReplySMS Sub .. There is no data coming in from your http job

Possibly fix that first .

Also it might help if you added many comments explaining what you are doing / trying to do.
ie: what is the purpose of http job in Activity_Create.

It might help with future problems.
