Android Question Passing String 'ByRef'

You can pass it as a custom type.

In this moment I can't try it, so may be that this don't work, but you can try with:

sub SetVal(ByRef s2 as string)
s2 = "xyz"
end sub

1. There is no ByRef in Basic4android.
2. Strings are immutable objects. You cannot modify an existing string object. What you are doing is you are assigning a new object to the variable. It will not have any effect on any other variables (assuming that it is a local variable).
You can pass a custom type that holds a string:
This will allow you to pass the StrRef object and change its value.

You can also pass an array with a single string.

Last option is to pass a StringBuilder instead of String. Then you will be able to remove its current content and append the new content.

That clears it up, thanks Erel.
