I'm working on an app for android using lib pd, nexus osc (via webview) and as far as most things are considered it's working just fine. I was hoping to save myself some time and re-factoring of my old pd patch and use that.

The problem being this:

Nexus osc via a javascript function is sending data from UI elements in the following format (as confirmed by a printout, logging of both pd as well as android studio) "Position1 click 0.32 0.44"

in my main patch I have [route position1] and then a print object for testing. Technically I should see "click 0.32 0.44" but I'm not seeing anything on the first outlet. Interestingly if I send a message of the same sort to say an object that expects just a float the error messages are different too. via internal message in the patch [Position1 click 0.32 0.44" I get an expected : inlet expected 'float' but got 'Position1"

If i use libpd to send the message to the *~ object it says inlet expected float but goat 'Position1 click 0.32 0.44'

i'm baffled but assume i'm missing something VERY obvious. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

@StrangerDayze Hello. Position1 and position1 are not the same thing. It could be that simple, unless it is a typo in your post. Also, try [rawprint] instead of [print]... it sometimes gives a little more information.
If you post your test patch then it will be easier to help you.... it is always a good idea!

yeah it was typo in my post... strangely what i ended up doing was just rather than using a full name for the ui element (position1, position2) I just gave it a number name and it worked swimmingly... dunno what happens beyond the javascript on the webview and between android and libpd and so on but more than one way to skin a cat... also I cannot suggest enough this guy's amazing tutorials on getting stuff started. presently my entire project is using his tutorials

and http://www.nexusosc.com/ to do a quick app.

Seriously amazing communities around pd and so glad ya'll are here to help out!

@StrangerDayze Yes, it is generally best not to mix message types. You can solve the problems afterwards but it's not always easy..... pd\doc\manuals\MessageOddness\route_mixing_float_and_symbol_arguments.pd

You can try to use Android data recovery pro to print messages from Android, this software is also a good tool to recover lost messages from Android.
