Android Question Service to activity label

[Pedro Caldeira]

Hi,
I am trying to send some text from a sub in a service to a label in the activity.
I always get an error

Service

Sub WinRESTSocket_NewConnection (Successful As Boolean, NewSocket As Socket)

    If Successful Then
        IncomingStream.Initialize(NewSocket.InputStream, NewSocket.OutputStream, "IncomingStream")
        CallSubDelayed2(Main,"ShowLog","Connected to WinREST")
    End If
    WinRESTSocket.Listen

End Sub

Activity

Sub ShowLog(Text2show As String, clear As Boolean)
    If clear = True Then
        lblStatus.text=""
    Else
        lblStatus.text = lblStatus.text & Text2show & CRLF
    End If
End Sub

Error

Error:

java.lang.Exception: Sub showlog signature does not match expected signature.

Cause:

CallSubDelayed2(Main,"ShowLog","Connected to WinREST")

You're expecting two parameters, a string and a Boolean and you're only passing a string. Also, you should probably change the name of the sub to "Show_Log" if you plan to obfuscate the project at some point.

This is the signature from callsubdelayed2

CallSubDelayed2 (Component As Object, Sub As String, Argument As Object)

The last parameter is an OBJECT. You only can give ONE parameter.
You are giving a String here....

CallSubDelayed2(Main,"ShowLog","Connected to WinREST")

But your sub needs two parameters... So i suggest to use a List or a Map as Parameter and get the right values out of the List/Map.

Additionally you should have an underscore in the subname if you plan to compile obfuscated.

dim m as map = CreateMap("Text2Show":"MyText","Clear":true)
CallSubDelayed2(Main,"Show_Log",m)

Sub Show_Log(cfg as Map)
    dim text2show as string = cfg.get("Text2Show")
    dim clear as boolean = cfg.get("Clear")   
If clear = True Then
        lblStatus.text=""
    Else
        lblStatus.text = lblStatus.text & Text2show & CRLF
    End If
End Sub

There is also CallSubDelayed3 to pass 2 parameters.

 

[DonManfred]

you also can use CallSubDelayed3 and pass two parameters.
But if you need more parameters then you need to use a Map or a List. So i suggest to use a Map directly. You can put everything into the Map.

I know; it was just to inform HIM that CallSubDelayed exists

If you need to pass only two parameters it is better, because you know their type...

My answer was NOT meant to YOU! I´m NOT INTERESTED in anything you write (say it layoutproblems, nullpointer exceptions or whatever). You are on my ignorelist. So basically i do not see such posts. But sometime i reveal the post...

Don´t expect any answer from me (expect this one) to be a answer to your post!

 

[LucaMs]

My answer was NOT meant to YOU!

Neither mine was for you; I just wanted to say that there is also that version of the command.

Take a chamomile, every now and then! And continue to ignore me, thank you!
