Android Question Using variables in process globals of one activity to another activity

[Alphaw]

I am a new user trying make android apps with B4A, as the title of the question, if I created 2 activities, one is "main" and another is "page 1".

In "main", I set a variable, Name, and will do several process to change the value of Name, then I would like to show the value of Name in "page 1". However I cannot use the value of Name, and it said "undeclared variable 'Name' is used before it was assigned any value."

How can I use the value of Name for other activity?

P.S I only write Dim Name As String at Process Globals of Main but none at Page 1.

Please help. Thank you.

Use

Log("Name: " & Main.Name)

from any activity other than Main.

Roycefer,

May I ask where do I put the code?

Use

Log("Name: " & Main.Name)

from any activity other than Main.

You can use Main.Name anywhere, you don't need to redeclare the Name variable in another module. It will be declared once when the process starts and then be available throughout the lifetime of the process to all activities and services. If you're in Main, though, you don't need to use Main.Name, you can just use Name.

Look at chapter 10.5.1 Process variables in the Beginner's Guide.
In the SourceCode folder of the Beginner's Guide you have an example in the ThreeActivityExample project.

Jai76, let's say that in activity 1 named "main" and dim a as int, dim sum1 as int.
activity 2 named "asd" and dim b as int. sum2 as int.

If I want to do this: sum1 = a + b
then I can use this in activity 1: sum1 = a + asd.b

If I want to do this: sum2 = a + b
then I can use this in activity 2: sum2 = main.a + b

You can try it yourself to whether it can work.
