Hello Guys!!

I have a newb question and usually try and find things out for myself, but, im having difficulties with this one...

I need to put the value of an edit field (Android) into a variable. here is my code...

on openStack
mobileControlCreate "input", "emailtext"
mobileControlSet "emailtext", "visible", true
mobileControlSet "emailtext", "rect", "220,350,550,400"
end openStack

How do I get the data into a variable? I have tried "put the field "emailtext" into example" nothing works...

Many Thanks,

Matthew.

Hi Matthew,

always check the "See also" entries in the dictionary!

The opposite of "mobilecontrolSet" = "mobilecontrolGet", so you can do this:
...
put mobilecontrolget("emailtext","text") into tEmailText
...
Check the dictionary for a lot more options of "mobilecontrolget"!

mobileControlSet "emailtext", "keyboardType", "email" ----- Worked Fine, Thanks!!!!

My external path (Android) /mnt/extSdCard wont let me save to it. I have enabled the standalone application settings to allow me to write to external storage and still no luck...

put "1" into URL "file:/mnt/extSdCard/test.txt"

Not Working... Any Help Would Be Greatly Appreciated...

Many Thanks,

Matthew.

External SD is a nightmare in any programming language.
There is no standard and Google doesn't want to set a standard.
However most of the device have:

• /mnt/sdcard0
• /mnt/sdcard1

One is virtual to internal memory (every mobilepone have nowdays a interla SDcard soldered to the mohrboard), the other one is the externa SDcard
