Yes but CallSub() is quite slow as, compared to a direct call, it has to look up the method to call in a hashtable and invoke it by reflection. It's not a huge overhead, particularly if the called Sub does significant processing, but if called repeatedly for a trivial Sub, say in a loop, it could im

It's nothing like the old Gosub! CallSub is probably the nearest equivalent to GoSub as with that you can do run-time determination of which Sub to call. This is a pause and resume capability that uses events raised on the message loop of the main thread to manage it.

Notes - Make sure to include an underscore in the target subs names if you intend to compile with obfuscation. - CallSubDelayed will start the target service or activity if needed (see this tutorial for more information: https://www.b4x.-callsubdelayed-to-interact-between-activities-and-services.18

Use an array or a map. It is very simple.

Ok, I may display my ignorance here, but CallSubDelayed creates an event, CallSub is a direct call and would therefore not give your app a chance to process other events. Plus if it were an Event generator, the sub would never get called (and here it is) since the loop has nothing in it to allow the

Note that in most cases it is better to use CallSubDelayed instead of CallSub.

Got it working. :) I called CallSub(Starter, "StartGPS") from the scheduled service module which was in the Starter service module. From the Starter module I did all of the processing from GPS_LocationChanged by first stopping the GPS so that event won't be called repeatedly. This all happened whe

I've been trying to figure out a clever way not to use "callsub()" and the overhead it brings. But it looks like callsub is the only way possible to dynamically bind and call functions outside the lib. It won't be long for 1.08. A week or so...
