Hi,

I like to get byte array value from inline c.

How can i do that. I have tried many times but no luck.

Below is my Error Log:
B4X:

I define an array:
B4X:
Sub Process_Globals
    Public stringa() As Byte
 End Sub
then use this code to return a string from C
B4X:
#if C
#include <avr/pgmspace.h>
char strx[50];
  B4R::Object* findstring(B4R::Object* o) {
   // Serial.print("Findstring1111");
   b4r_statica::_stringa->data = strx;
   b4r_statica::_stringa->length = strlen(strx);
   return 0;   
}
#end if
}
whatever is in memory at strx will be available in string "stringa" at B4R level
( i assume that module name is "statica.bas").
The strx is a null terminated string.
