Cannot run Task

I'm trying to run the example from here without success.

Here is the code:


m.getHomeOptionsList = createObject("roSGNode", "getLabelListContent")
m.getHomeOptionsList.setField("uri", "http://www.sdktestinglab.com/homeoptionslistcontent.xml")
m.getHomeOptionsList.observeField("content", "showhomeoptionslist")
m.getHomeOptionsList.functionName = "showhomeoptionslist"
m.getHomeOptionsList.control = "RUN"



<?xml version = "1.0" encoding = "utf-8" ?>

<component name = "getLabelListContent" extends = "Task" >
 
<interface>
  <field id = "uri" type = "uri" />
  <field id = "content" type = "node" />
</interface>
 
<script type = "text/brightscript" >
 
  <![CDATA[
 
  sub init()
    m.top.functionName = "getContent"
  end sub
 
  sub getContent()
    content = createObject("roSGNode", "ContentNode")
    contentxml = createObject("roXMLElement")
 
    readInternet = createObject("roUrlTransfer")
    readInternet.setUrl(m.top.uri)
    contentxml.parse(readInternet.GetToString())
 
    if contentxml.getName() = "listcontent"
      for each item in contentxml.GetNamedElements("item")
        attributes = item.getAttributes()
        item = {
          text: attributes.text
          }
        listitem = content.createChild("ContentNode")
        listitem.title = item.text
      end for
    end if
 
    m.top.content = content
  end sub
 
  ]]>
 
  </script>
 
</component>


I'm getting this error:

What Am I doing wrong? How do I fix this problem. Thanks for your help!

    From the docs, emphasis mine:
    Sets the value of the subject node field identified by fieldName to value. This will fail and stop script execution if the value is not of the appropriate type. Returns true if the field is successfully set, false otherwise.


    Looks like a typo in the the getLabelListContent component definition. I have no idea what a "uri" type is, is that a valid BrightScript data type? Change "uri" to "string".

      <field id = "uri" type = "string" />
      <field id = "content" type = "node" />
    </interface>

    Hello Tim,

    Thanks for your reply. 

    I've modified the code as you suggested, but I'm still having the same error:


    101:          m.getHomeOptionsList = createObject("roSGNode", "getLabelListContent")
    m.getHomeOptionsList.setField("uri", "http://www.sdktestinglab.com/homeoptionslistcontent.xml")
    103:          m.getHomeOptionsList.observeField("content", "showhomeoptionslist")
    104:          m.getHomeOptionsList.functionName = "showhomeoptionslist"
    105:          m.getHomeOptionsList.control = "RUN"
    106:  end sub
    Interface not a member of BrightScript Component (runtime error &hf3) 


    Any other suggestion? Someone said that I'd have to run the code on the Main Thread but I have no idea about how to do that.

    check to see if the component is created successfully:
    m.getHomeOptionsList = createObject("roSGNode", "getLabelListContent")
    ? "DID THIS WORK???", m.getHomeOptionsList
