Android Question Dex Error

[brianwiz12]

Hello,

I searched the form and increased my memory and still getting a dex error

Program Information
305 modules
300 images
300 balances

Increased Dex from 512 to 1524 and it failed with Some error about (cant remember) but searched the forum and dropped it to 1024 and still same below.

I cannot find a debug option to disable in the 5.80 beta version of program

Interesting Note:

I have 1-10 modules going from numbers 1-30

I load 1-8 without an issue. Once I get to 9 or 10 either one I load is an issue.

Update.

Once I had Module 9-2 and then layout and image 9-2 I start getting the dex issues

I guess you should use the new exclude classes method in b4x

Something is wrong. How come there are 90k classes in b4a.example?

 

[brianwiz12]

I assumed it was

Linking all the graphics
Linking all the buttons in each module

 

[brianwiz12]

I cannot upload too big so here is the code for each module I use

#Region  Activity Attributes
    #FullScreen: True
    #IncludeTitle: False
#End Region

Sub Process_Globals
    'These global variables will be declared once when the application starts.
    'These variables can be accessed from all modules.

End Sub

Sub Globals
    'These global variables will be redeclared each time the activity is created.
    'These variables can only be accessed from this module.
Dim btnone As Button
Dim edt1 As EditText
End Sub

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
    'Do not forget to load the layout file created with the visual designer. For example:
    'Activity.LoadLayout("Layout1")
     Activity.LoadLayout("8x18")
     Activity.SetBackgroundImage(LoadBitmap(File.DirAssets, "background.png"))
     edt1.Color = Colors.White
End Sub

Sub btnone_click
    If edt1.Text = 144 Then
        Msgbox("Correct answer", "Result")
        btnnext_click
    Else
        Msgbox("Wrong answer", "Result")
    End If
End Sub


Sub btnnext_click
    StartActivity("eightnineteen")
    Activity.finish
End Sub

I have so many modules because I want to go through the flow from 1-15/30. I originally had it planned to just do 5 numbers up to 30 then figured to go to 10. That's when I hit the limit at 9.

In the new program I basically cut it in half to accomplish what I wanted so instead of 30 for each number its only 15.

You should never repeat the same code multiple times. What is the total number of modules?

WTF??? This can be done with ONE Activity Module and a little code. No need to have tons of different modules.


But, for the solution

How come there are 90k classes in b4a.example?

I think the error is about 90k methods, not classes.

Anyway check this to solve it:


Dx trouble writing output: Too many fields

Thank you for the feedback as I become a stronger App programmer I look forward to learning how to condense and make apps efficient
