I am new to b4a, but have considerable VS (VB6 - VS2010) experience. I have been trying to get used to some of the differences between VB and b4a by creating some short and simple apps for test purposes. For example, in one of the tutorial programs I was more or less creating (with some of my own modifications), I kept running into a "Last Exception -- Java lang NumberFormatException when I tried to assign the value of numerical (Double) variable to the text property of a label or to assign the value of the text property of an EditText object/view to a numerical (again Double) variable. So, I created a small form that does that very simply to try to figure out what I was doing wrong. The form consists of three labels and a couple of assignment statements, nothing more. This program functions correctly, but the layout is all screwed up both in an emulator and on my device.
In design mode, it looks fine in the emulator, but in Compile & Debug mode, all three labels are more or less at the center of the screen on top of one another. In design mode the labels are over to the left, one below the other -- label1, label2, label3.
The older layout files work fine in their associated programs, it is only the ones I've been creating today that are having a problem. I have no idea why there is a problem. The only thing I've done "differently" is to have run an automatic backup during the night and to have restarted the system this morning (twice). At least that's all I can think of. What should I do? Do I need to remove and reinstall the Designer? To do so, must I remove and then reinstall B4A?
Thanks in advance for the help.
