If you frequently find yourself tweaking your device settings to suit a specific app, then you might like App Config for Android. Let’s say you prefer Netflix on full-brightness while streaming over WiFi only, but then you’re happy to read BBC News on a dimly-lit screen using mobile data, this is the exact scenario App Config caters for. You click on the apps you wish to configure, at which point you can stipulate screen orientation, volume and screen brightness, while confirming whether you wish to activate Bluetooth, WiFi or mobile data connections.     The free version will likely be fine…

The Error Class Revisited

In the comments to Error Handling Via an Error Class, Peter found that the problem with this method is the absence of the Stop and Resume in the error handler than let you debug at the line that caused the error. Yeah, that stinks. Then Jase got me thinking that I just wouldn’t create the class in debug mode. Well, that wasn’t quite right. What needed to happen was that the error handler should not be set in debug mode. Here’s a rewrite of the entry point procedure.

Sub EntryPoint()
   
    Dim clsError As CError
   
    gbDebugMode = False
                   
    If Not gbDebugMode Then On Error GoTo ErrHandler
   
    Set clsError = New CError: clsError.SetLoc "Module1", "EntryPoint"
   
    SubProc1
     
ErrExit:
    Exit Sub
   
ErrHandler:
    Set clsError = Nothing
    MsgBox Err.Description
    Resume ErrExit
   
End Sub

When gbDebugMode is False, the error handler is set and it works as described in the original post. That is, the user gets a message box and the code exits gracefully. When gbDebugMode is True, the error handler is not set. It’s like you don’t have an error handler at all – because you don’t. When in debug mode, you get kicked to the line that caused the error.

Is that that last hurdle?
