Hi Matt,
This is a simple error where you haven’t “end”-ed your conditional block. Out of curiosity, have you read the “Debugging Guide” which has plenty of advice on how to figure out what error messages mean and how to pinpoint them? Of course you can ask in the forums but I suggest you study the guide thoroughly:
http://docs.coronalabs.com/guide/basics/debugging/index.html
Best regards,
Brent
Hi Brent,
Thanks for clearing that up for me. I will definitely take a good look at that guide you posted.
Matt.
Hi Brent,
This might be a silly question but I can’t find out how to do it, is there a way to test that a text field has input inside as I can test if its empty but not sure how to test with an inputted value.
Thanks again,
Matt.
Hi Matt,
If you mean checking the opposite of the text field being empty (something inside it) just do a ~= check on an empty string ("").
Brent
Hi Brent,
Is this how you the code would look for this…
[lua]
function OnbtnNext( event )
if textBoxName.text == nil or textBoxName.text == “” then
print( “No Input in Text Field.” )
end
elseif textBoxName.text ~= “” then
composer.gotoScene( “riskAssessmentPg2”, { effect=“slideLeft”, time=800,} )
end
end
[/lua]
Thanks again,
Matt.
That looks right, but you’ve ended the if before the elseif, so that will give you an error. Get rid of that first “end” and I think you’ll be fine.
Also, I think after you check whether the text is equal to nil or “”, there’s no need to check whether it’s not equal to “” as this must obviously be the case, so you can just use else instead of elseif.
Hi Brent,
That has worked perfectly.
Thanks again,
Matt.
Hi Brent,
Just a quick one, every so often it posts two alerts any idea on why this is?
Thanks,
Mattt.
Are you sure this is the right thread? I don’t see anything about alerts above. Could you post the code with the alert in it? And the code that calls it.
It sounds like your code is reacting to an event with multiple phases.
This is my full code.

OnBtnNext is being called at every event phase. You only want it to be called at one. The most natural one is the ended phase, so in your OnBtnNext function, only perform the operations if event.phase == “ended”
