hi @rossko57,
I am facing the same issue.
How do I declare and use a boolean variable in the code?
Can you share an example please?

thanks

Not really. I think it depends on java version, it doesn’t complain for me.

var Boolean mqttstarted = false
// or
var mqttstarted = Boolean.valueOf(false)

should work

There is also minimalist approach…

var mqttstarted = false

(mqttstarted.class is java.lang.Boolean)
