Android Question Problem after adding a starter service to an old app

[androidvh]

Hello all,

i´m facing a problem with the starter service.

I´m using B4A 6.8. I have an old app in which i want to add the Starter service.
I added a new Service named starter (tried Starter also).
When i run my app i ran into the error

Can you upload the project?

 

[androidvh]

I like to send you an private E-mail.

 

[Erel]

Send it to erel@basic4ppc.com.

The problem is on this line in Process_Globals:

Dim devicesize As Double = GetDeviceLayoutValues.ApproximateScreenSize

You should set the variable in Activity_Create.

A compiler warning should have appeared on this line. This is fixed for the next update.

Running

Perfect...
