Question

I have the following code:

public static int smsCount = 0 ;

public void startListener()
{
    SendListener smsListener;
    smsListener = new SendListener() {

        public boolean sendMessage(Message message) {
            ++smsCount;
            return true;
        }
    };

    SMS.addSendListener(smsListener);

}

When I use a debugger I see that the value of smsCount is increasing. However, for some reason, it returns zero when I try to access it from outside the class. Is there anything wrong with this code ? sendMessage is called whenever an SMS is sent.

To expand on John B’s comment, and to be more specific are you accessing it from a different runtime (application) context? Each runtime context has its own global (and therefore) static namespace. To ensure an object is a global singleton you should use the RuntimeStore.
