Hi.

Encountering an issue with Number1 and Number2 in the first program of the Beginner's guide.

I followed everything carefully, but it seems Number1 and Number2 do not really behave as global.

B4X: 
Dim Number1, Number2 As Int
is in Sub Globals as instructed, but when the program kept telling me it was the wrong result, I added a MsgBox in CheckResult
B4X: 
Msgbox("Value", Number1 + Number2)
And I get 0 (zero).

If I set the value in a line just before, it does display it. It seems these variables do not keep their value between events.

What am I missing ?

TIA

I tested it and it works.
I thought that it should be Msgbox("Value", (Number1 + Number2))
But even Msgbox("Value", Number1 + Number2) works.
According to your code the number is displayed in the title !

Otherwise post you project as a zip file (IDE menu File / Export As Zip) and I'll have a look at it.

Sorry for answering only now, because today I was HERE.

Page 41 of the Beginner's Guide, it is mentioned :

The project is available in the SourceCode folder:
SourceCode\SecondProgram\SecondProgram.b4a

Could not locate any SourceCode folder in the installation folder. It does not seem there is any archive anymore for download.

Would appreciate pointers.

TIA

Well, it seems I have a knack to find missing things. In the same beginners guide, page 180, the tutorial goes :

Let us make an example based on the TestLayoutsAnchors project
(which can be found under the Guide\SourceCode\TestLayoutsAnchors directory):

And it is nowhere to be found

Search in the forum does not lead to any positive response, and even a Google search site:b4x.com "TestLayoutsAnchors" does not bring any result. I am starting to suspect that project has been abandonned long ago.
