Android Question Error when compiling B4A project with inline Java Code

[Johan Schoeman]

Cannot figure out why this keeps on generating an error when being compiled with B4A inline java code.

path.addArc((float) 0.0, (float) 0.0, (float) (targetWidth/2.0), (float) (targetHeight/2.0), (float) 180.0, (float) 100.0);

1 error

targetWidth and targetHeight are declared as type int

It should use
android.graphics.Path
that I am already importing. The error above refers to
addArc(android.graphics.RectF,float,float)....??

nativeMe is a global variable not a process_global variable.

nativeMe is a global variable not a process_global variable.

Still no joy when I changed it....same error as in previous post

Sub Process_Globals
    'These global variables will be declared once when the application starts.
    'These variables can be accessed from all modules.
'    Dim nativeMe As JavaObject
  
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 bm, bm1, bm2 As Bitmap
    Dim nativeMe As JavaObject

    Private ImageView1 As ImageView
    Private ImageView2 As ImageView

End Sub

    Dim bm, bm1, bm2 As Bitmap
    Dim nativeMe As JavaObject

    Private ImageView1 As ImageView
    Private ImageView2 As ImageView

End Sub

from @Erel's example of inline java code:

Sub Process_Globals
    Private nativeMe As JavaObject
End Sub

Intersting, i would have thought it would get the applicationContext instead of activityContext.

anyway this is not easy to debug as the reflection exception is masking out the real exception that is happening behind it.

maybe add a try catch inside your java method and log the exception.

Not a train smash @thedesolatesoul. Have it just about working with pre-API21 by calling
addArc(RectF oval, float startAngle, float sweepAngle)....thanks for looking into it. Would just be great to understand what generates the error. Will try to catch it.
