Thanks for flagging this @point - I’ll check this myself now. Can you let us know what version of Android you’re on, whether you’re live testing or installing the apk and if you see any error code/message when you press the buttons. Thanks ---

Hi @point I’ve tried a couple of different ways, both live testing and installing the APK and all of these work fine for me. ![41](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/4/8/48c3131edf0b07150cc83f642dee41db04c8fb6a.png) Here’s my project file in case it helps: [https://x.thunkable.com/copy/7b67f7e2ec8a96f67175ad96674261a1](https://x.thunkable.com/copy/7b67f7e2ec8a96f67175ad96674261a1) ---

I’m not sure what you want fixed? It works as expected for me. Can you explain what’s happening in your app and what you are experiencing to happen please? Thanks. ---

@domhnallohanlon I am using a Samsung Note 8 Android version 8.0.0 and your app works for me when I live test it. ---
