Android Question Beginner's problem with MyFirstProgram

[JMW]

I'm working through the Beginners Guide, creating the MyFirstProgram.
Compiled, loaded onto device (connected via USB), and I'm getting 'wrong' answer. See attached screenshot. I've double-checked the code, and it all seems right. What am I missing?

Sub CheckResult
   If edtResult.Text = number1 + Number2 Then
     lblComments.Text = "G O O D result" & CRLF & "Click on NEW"
     btnAction.Text = "N E W"
   Else
     lblComments.Text = "W R O N G result" & CRLF & "Enter a new result" & CRLF & "and click OK"
   End If
End Sub

Can you post your project as a zip file?
IDE menu File / Export As Zip / Include Shared Modules.

 

[JMW]

Sure, here it is.

You are missing New in Activity_Create.

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
    Activity.LoadLayout("Main")
    New
End Sub

To generate a new problem at the start of the program.

That fixed it, but I'm curious why the default values on those two labels aren't read when I enter 10 and hit OK?

Because the numbers are defined in New.
This works too:

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
    Activity.LoadLayout("Main")
    Number1 = 5
    Number2 = 5
'    New
End Sub

Or this:

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
   Activity.LoadLayout("Main")
   Number1 = lblNumber1.Text
   Number2 = lblNumber2.Text
'   New
End Sub

But I prefer New.
