B4J Question help debug my program, deadline 13 feb 2019

[Olivier Zeegers]

Hello all,

I am just an amateur programming who is trying his best to write a little program for a charity running contest.....
I would really appreciate any help to get the bugs out of my simple program for our running contest that takes place the 15th feb...

Overall it works well but:

- I get a media exception error now and then and I don't know why...

also see my question here: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/media-exception-error.102468/

- the program gets slower while using longer ? Do I have to release Mediaplayer objects to free memory ?

- the UI does not adapt to other screen resolutions.. Now I am running the program at home on my 1920/1080 resolution, but when ran on a laptop the items get displaced..

Thank you very much for your help because I am stuck !!

here are the source files and media files:

have a nice sunday !

found this about the mediaplayer exception:

https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8179616

I put this code when removing the previous mediaplayer from the form by removeNodeFromParent

Dim MediaViewNode As Node = mv

MediaViewNode.RemoveNodeFromParent
MediaViewNode = Null
mv = Null

Hope that this clears memory and resolves the sluggish performance after a while...
