Okay for quite a few days now I have been struggling with a monumental problem. It seemed that whenever I had one of the classes I was using in an app, the blasted thing would not load onto the simulator, (still havent tried on a device, aiming for a 8100). What it would do is load and run the most previous working version of the app and no code changes were refected on the simulator. After much trail and error I managed (i hope) to track down the error to a couple of lines of code.
These lines were
private double vLatitude = 0;
private double vLongitude = 0;
When I comment out both but not either of these two lines in a cut down version of the class, containing only the instance variables and the corresponding EditField declarations, it works and loads and runs correctly. Changing the code a few times over in the trail and error approach, the following DO NOT work.
private double vLatitude = 0; // Unmentioned error
private double vLongitude = 0;
private double vLatitude = 0.0; // Unmentioned error
private double vLongitude = 0.0;
private double vLatitude = 0.0d; // Verification error 2522
private double vLongitude = 0.0d;
private float vLatitude = 0; // Verification error 2522
private float vLongitude = 0;
private float vLatitude = 0.0f; // Verification error 2522
private float vLongitude = 0.0f;
However changing them both to String does work, and I'm sure I can build a workaround in the app because I dont need to do any math with them. Its a bit confusing that these lines of code would make the app act so strangely. I have a few int s in there aswell and they seem to work just dandy (so far).
Does anyone know further details about this problem and if there is a solution (not a workaround), is this some hidden and unexplained phenomenon of the Java language or supernatural.
Will update if I find anything else out.
