Code: 
Public Sub InputBox2(strPrompt As String, _
     strTitle As String, _
     strHint As String, _
     strDefault As String, _
     iTitleFontSize As Int, _
     iTitleFontColour As Int, _
       iPromptColour As Int, _
     iHintColour As Int, _
     iInputColour As Int, _
       csPrompt As CSBuilder, _
       bmpIcon As Bitmap, _
       bCancelable As Boolean, _
     iPromptHeight As Int, _
     bHidePassword As Boolean) As ResumableSub
     
 Dim csPrompt As CSBuilder
 Dim csTitle As CSBuilder
 Dim oJava As JavaObject
 
 mbHidePassword = bHidePassword
 
 If iTitleFontColour = 0 Then
  iTitleFontColour = Colors.RGB(0, 0, 0)
 End If
 
 If iPromptColour = 0 Then
  iPromptColour = Colors.RGB(0, 0, 0)
 End If
 
 If iHintColour = 0 Then
  iHintColour = Colors.RGB(0, 0, 0)
 End If
 
 If iInputColour = 0 Then
  iInputColour = Colors.RGB(0, 0, 0)
 End If
 
 If csPrompt.IsInitialized = False Then
  csPrompt.Initialize.Size(16).Color(iPromptColour).Append(strPrompt).PopAll
 End If
 
 csTitle.Initialize.Typeface(Typeface.DEFAULT).Size(iTitleFontSize).Color(iTitleFontColour).Append(strTitle).PopAll
 
 'note here that the OK and Cancel have been swapped!!
 '----------------------------------------------------
 oJava = Input_Dialog.ShowAsync(csTitle, "Cancel", "OK", "", bmpIcon, bCancelable)
 oJava.RunMethod("setTitle", Array(csTitle))
 
 Wait For (oJava) Dialog_Ready(pnl As Panel) '>>>>>> code stops here!
 pnl.LoadLayout("Input_Dialog")
 
 fledtInputbox.Hint = strHint
 fledtInputbox.EditText.TextColor = iInputColour
 fledtInputbox.EditText.HintColor = iHintColour
 
 'as we have the hint, no prompt label may be needed
 If strPrompt.Length > 0 Then
  If iPromptHeight = -1 Then
   lblInputBox.Height = sUtils.MeasureMultilineTextHeight(lblInputBox, csPrompt) + 20dip
  Else
   'not sure we need this option, MeasureMultilineTextHeight seems to work well
   lblInputBox.Height = iPromptHeight
  End If
  General.RunLog("InputBox2, lblInputBox.Height: " & lblInputBox.Height)
  Input_Dialog.SetSize(96%x, lblInputBox.Height  + 200dip)
  lblInputBox.Text = csPrompt
 Else
  Input_Dialog.SetSize(96%x, 200dip)
  lblInputBox.Visible = False
 End If
 
 If strDefault.Length > 0 Then
  fledtInputbox.Text = strDefault
 End If
 
 Wait For (oJava) Dialog_Result(res As Int)
 
 'note here that the OK and Cancel have been swapped!!
 '----------------------------------------------------
 If res = DialogResponse.CANCEL Then
  Return fledtInputbox.text 'OK button
 Else
  Return "" 'Cancel button
 End If
 
End Sub

This code is in a class module and it all runs fine when I run it from main.
However when I run it from a another class the above code just stops at the indicated line.

This is the Sub in that other class:

Code: 
Public Sub Connect2DB(strDatabase As String, strPrompt As String) As ResumableSub
 
 Dim strResult As String
 Dim bCreate As Boolean
 
 bCreate = File.Exists(Starter.strAppDir, strDatabase) = False
 
 If strDatabase = "PhonePatsE.db" Then
  bEncryptedDB = True
  If strPW.Length = 0 Then
   
   Wait For(cEvents.InputBox2(strPrompt, _
    "Connect to database", "", "", _
    18, 0, 0, 0, 0, Null, General.bmpIcon32, True, -1, bHidePassword)) _
    Complete (strResult As String)

Any idea what the problem is here?
I also tried with the above Sub with no return value, but same problem.

This has not to do with calling it from a class, but I think with the fact that I am calling this too early in the startup sequence of the app.
Not sure yet what is missing to make it fail.

Did you Initialized the class instance cEvents before calling cEvents.InputBox2 ?

Can you post the error log here?

Yes, I did.
There is no error

Yes, cEvents was initialized and part of the Sub InputBox2 in it runs.
There is no error in the unfiltered log. I tried with un-ticking log filter but couldn't get a clear error message then either.
I have copied the unfiltered log and will attach the dump, but not sure it shows anything relevant.

Which library are you using for Input_Dialog?
This one? https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/dialogs-library.6776/

I have tested your code. It works fine. Assuming you are using the above lib here is the code:
Code: 
'Class Test1

Sub Class_Globals
    Dim Input_Dialog As CustomLayoutDialog
End Sub

Public Sub Initialize

End Sub

Public Sub InputBox2() As ResumableSub
  
    Dim oJava As JavaObject 
    oJava = Input_Dialog.ShowAsync("Hi", "Cancel", "OK", "", Null, True)
 
    Wait For (oJava) Dialog_Ready(pnl As Panel) '>>>>>> code stoped here for you! but works for me!
    pnl.Color = Colors.Red 'just changed the color cause I dont have the layout file
 
    Wait For (oJava) Dialog_Result(res As Int)
 
    If res = DialogResponse.CANCEL Then
        Return "ok"
    Else
        Return "" 'Cancel button
    End If
 
End Sub

Code: 
'Class Test2

Sub Class_Globals
    Dim text1_class As Test1
End Sub

Public Sub Initialize
    text1_class.Initialize
End Sub

Public Sub callInputBox2() As ResumableSub
    wait for (text1_class.InputBox2) Complete (strResult As String)
    Return strResult
End Sub

Here is the Activity code from which I am calling class Test2 and then Test2 is calling Test1:
Code: 
Dim test2_class As test2
test2_class.Initialize
wait for (test2_class.callInputBox2) Complete (strResult As String)
Log(strResult)

Yes, I am using the same library, Dialogs 4.01, got it from here:
https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...-dialogs-and-async-methods.80204/#post-507930
My Inputbox2 is an adaption from one of Erel's examples in the above thread.

It works fine for me as well and I use that code in many places. For some reason it just fails when I call it early in the app
startup sequence, to connect to SQLite. Problem is I can't see any error.

No, it starts from Main - Activity_Create that calls the Sub to connect to the DB:

cConnection.Connect2DB(cConnection.strDB, "Type in the password to connect.")

cConnection is my SQLite connection class.

Then Connect2DB calls Inputbox2, which is in a different class:

Wait For(cEvents.InputBox2(strPrompt, _
"Connect to database", "", "", _
18, 0, 0, 0, 0, Null, General.bmpIcon32, True, -1, bHidePassword)) _
Complete (strResult As String)

Don't know what is happening to your end. If you can upload your project then I can give a try.

I made a small demo project, which as far as I can see does exactly the same as the project where InputBox2 doesn't work.
Unfortunately this demo project works fine, so I get the input dialog.
I stepped with the debugger through both projects and can't see any difference, so I have no idea what the problem is in the real project.
The manifests of both projects are the same as well.
Although I can't demonstrate the problem I attached the demo project.
Any ideas what could be the problem here?
