I intend extracting data from a server
I would like using httputils according to
http://www.b4x.com/forum/basic4android-getting-started-tutorials/13166
-connect-android-ms-sql-server-tutorial.html#post74199
but I get the error:
Undeclared variable 'httputils' is used before it was assigned any value
do I have someting more to download

Because of this:

B4X:

myurl= ServerUrl  & "?query=1holtelselect1"

It is a typo, it should be:

B4X:

myurl= ServerUrl  & "?query=1hotelselect1"

Also, next time you post code, add [ CODE] and [ /CODE] after the code, so it will be formatted on the forum.

Hi
I create a code module:messub
in this code module I insert this sub

B4X:

Sub recuphotel(meshotels As String,listv As ListView)
Dim myarray() As String:myarray=Regex.Split("]",meshotels)
listv.Clear
listv.TwolinesLayout.Label.TextSize = 15
listv.TwoLinesLayout.SecondLabel.TextSize=15
listv.TwolinesLayout.Label.TextColor =Colors.red
listv.TwolinesLayout.SecondLabel.TextColor =Colors.ARGB(255,0,133,158) '"#FF00859E"
'listv.FastScrollEnabled = true
'listv.SingleLineLayout.Label.Gravity = Gravity.CENTER
 Dim cd As ColorDrawable
 cd.Initialize(Colors.White, 0dip)
 listv.TwolinesLayout.Background=cd
Dim i As Int
For i=0 To myarray.Length-1
Dim myarraybis() As String:myarraybis=Regex.Split("\|",myarray(i))
listv.AddTwoLines(myarraybis(0) & ":",myarraybis(1)) 
Next
listv.AddSingleLine("--------------------------------")
End Sub

1)I get:
Compiling code. Error
Error parsing program.
Error description: Syntax error.
Occurred on line: 6
Sub recuphotel(meshotels As String,listv As ListView)
2)when using this code , which works fine, in the main module
I am obliged to add
listv.AddSingleLine("--------------------------------")
for seeing the last hotel on the emulator

thanks in advance
sincerely
michel

I dont see anything wrong with this.
Probably you have missed an 'End Sub' before this code.

caillaud · Feb 20, 2012

Hi
you are right
I have missed the end of Sub Process_Globals in my module
It works fine now.
when a radiobutton is checked the middle of the disk becomes green
(unchecked the disk is silver)
is it possible to change green into #FF00859E
#FF00859E is the background color of the smartphone:
Dim cd As ColorDrawable
cd.Initialize(Colors.ARGB(255,0,133,158), 0dip)
Activity.Background = cd
thans in advance
sincerly
michel

thedesolatesoul · Feb 20, 2012

I dont think it is very easy to change the color of the radio button.
These are usually part of the ROM's framework.
There is a thread on this forum about changing a progressbar's color, maybe you can try that, but I do not know how to do that.

caillaud · Feb 21, 2012

Hi
thanks again
it is not very important
more worrying is that:
Error. Url=https://www.travelhotelonline.com/testvb4android?query=1hotelselect1 Message=javax.net.ssl.SSLException: Not trusted server certificate

my thawte ssl certificat is a 1024 certificat that is daily used in the application on PC
in the windows phone 7 application the https is accepted by the websevice

is there something to do

Hi
thanks for your answer
SUPER it works
I changed
'hc.Initialize("hc")
by hc.InitializeAcceptAll("hc")
in Sub Service_Create of httputilsService

Hi
do:, and /
are special caracters in the functions:
regex.split(",",mystring)
regex.split("/",mystring)
in the doubt is it better to put \ before?
thanks in advance

sincerely
michel

thedesolatesoul · Feb 21, 2012

According to this website: Regex Tutorial - Literal Characters and Special Characters
There are 11 characters with special meanings: the opening square bracket [, the backslash \, the caret ^, the dollar sign $, the period or dot ., the vertical bar or pipe symbol |, the question mark ?, the asterisk or star *, the plus sign +, the opening round bracket ( and the closing round bracket ).

If in doubt, you should confirm whether or not it is a special character.

Hi
thanks for your answer
there is one other problem which worries me:
on wp7 there is that they call isolated storage:
it is possible to store data on the smartphone
when a client books the first time he inserts:
hotel, dates of stay
first and last name tel mail
bank card references
with the isolated storage it is possible to store and retrieve personnal data
next times he books he just have to insert his trip
is it possible to do something like this?
sincerely
michel

thedesolatesoul · Feb 21, 2012

Whereas I dont find it completely safe to store this information on the phone, it is possible.
The directory File.DirInternal can only be accessed the your app. No other application/process can access it.
However, on a rooted phone it is easy to access any directory.
So maybe you can store it Encrypted for security reasons.

hi
thanks for your patience
if you agree I come back to you later for this isolated storage
it is too sophisticated for me for the moment
the following sub is in my code module:messub

B4X:

Sub listedatesarr(lang As String, daterangeserveur As String, datesvertesdep As String, Listv As ListView, plagetempsdeb As String, itemselect As Int)
Listv.Visible=True
Listv.Clear
Listv.Left=0
Listv.Width=220
Dim i As Int:i = 0
plagetempsdeb = plagetempsnew(lang, daterangeserveur, 0, 29)
Dim myarray() As String:myarray =Regex.Split("]", plagetempsdeb)
Listv.SingleLineLayout.Label.TextSize=15
Listv.SingleLineLayout.Label.TextColor=Colors.ARGB(255,0,133,158) '"#FF00859E"
Dim cd As ColorDrawable
 cd.Initialize(Colors.White, 0dip)
 Listv.SingleLineLayout.Background=cd
For i = 0 To myarray.Length - 1
Listv.AddSingleLine(myarray(i).Replace("|",""))
Next
itemselect=2
End Sub

when I call this sub in the main module
listview1:fine
but the value of plagetempsdeb and itemselect are not changed by the sub
please why?
in ms visual studio there is byval (not changed) and byref (modified)
sincerely
michel

thedesolatesoul · Feb 21, 2012

I think Strings are passed ByRef but primitives like Int are passed ByVal.
If you want you can create a custom type with both the string and Int. Custom Types are sent ByRef as well so they will definitely be modified.

Hi
thanks for your answer
1)from a futur sub in the code module messub
I will have to retreive 8 string variables
could you tell me how to make a custum type with this 8 varaibles
2)for a control I do not see where activating the font property bold in the designer
sincerely
michel

thedesolatesoul · Feb 22, 2012

Custom Types are made by:

Declare in Globals:

B4X:

Type EightStrings(String1 as String, String2 as String,String3 as String, String4 as String,String5 as String, String6 as String,String7 as String, String8 as String)

Then in your sub:

B4X:

Sub ModifyEightStrings(es as EightStrings)
    es.String1 = "Hello"
    es.String2 = es.String3
End Sub

To change the Font (Style) of a view, you will have to use code:

B4X:

EditText1.Typeface = Typeface.DEFAULT_BOLD

Basic4android - Constants (Core)

caillaud · Feb 22, 2012

Hi
thanks very much
the custom type and the font bold work fine
I am laboriously transfering data from the server to the smartphone
It seems I can fix that now
it is going to take a long time
The problem is that the look of my smartphone is ugly

I will have to take care of that later
sincerely
michel
