Array error App<->View in WF : Expected Object/Array/Dictionary/ByteArray, given String

Hi,

i have a little problem, with array.

I have an array in my App, a Global var.

I can use it in App, but it give me an error when using it in my view:

App :

var stockSymbol = ["GRMN", "MSFT"];

function userSettings() {
  StockSymbol[0] = Application.getApp().getProperty("StockCode"); 

  var testStockSymbol = StockSymbol[0];
  Sys.println (" in userSettings --- > testStockSymbol = " + testStockSymbol);
}

give me : in userSettings --- > testStockSymbol = gnft.pa

It's ok.

But in my view :

function displayStockValue (dc, numCube) {
  var test = StockSymbol[0];

give me UnexpectedTypeException: Expected Object/Array/Dictionary/ByteArray, given String

Any Idea of what i'm missing ?

Thanks !

It helps if you show the error you're getting and which line it's on. A simple way to see what's going on is doing a println of the thing you're getting the error on. (so in this case, StockSymbol.

The App read usersettings :

    function initialize() {
       AppBase.initialize();
            userSettings();
     }

	function userSettings() {
		if (Application.getApp().getProperty("StockCode")) {StockSymbol[0] = Application.getApp().getProperty("StockCode").toString(); }

var testStockSymbol = StockSymbol[0] ;
Sys.println (" in userSettings --- > testStockSymbol = " + testStockSymbol);

Wooh ...

So strange ...

I had another line, in global var / App :

var StockSymbol2;

that put it for comments to try something ...

// var StockSymbol2;

and now it's working.

Im mémory Usage Stats, i saw thar StockSymbol was a STRING, not an array.

And now it's an Array !

I do not understand what happens.

Maybe a limitation from Garmin specs for naming var's ?

<edit>I may have put something like StockSymbol="sometext"rather than StockSymbol[0] = "sometext" because i don't see an other explanation !...</edit>
