return to home only shows "retrieving" - fixed

for some reason one of the categories i pushed into the home screen when i exit to go back to the homescreen, it doesnt do anything but say "retrieving"

the other"kids.push" work just fine that i added and when you hit the up button takes you right back to the homescreen

its showing the feed being parsed everything not tossing any errors until i exit out its saying i have orphaned objects.

    Make sure you are doing a setcontentlist to display the content when the category is selected. Also, sometimes you need to force a refresh of the screen, which I do by popping up a onelinedialog and then immediately closing it:

    sub refresh()
    dialog=Createobject("roOneLineDialog")
    dialog.show()
    dialog.close()
    end sub

    i fixed it by adding the following:

     else if msg.isScreenClosed() then

               print "screen closed"
                

    screen=preShowHomeScreen("", "")
    showHomeScreen(screen)


                  exit while


    might be ugly but works, tosses no errors now i can smile! 😄
