Android Question B4A 7.80 Warning for unused files

[LucaMs]

It seems that it is no longer shown.

Moved to the questions forum.

The unused files warning will not appear at all if you load an asset file in a non-static way.
For example:

LoadBitmap(File.DirAssets, "aaa" & x)

Because it's no more possible to know which will be loaded or not.

I know but I have not used (no more) them (2 image files) at all, in any line of code.
As always, I can not reproduce that error, because I removed them. I will search for an old version of the project.

Reread my previous post. If you aren't loading any asset file in a dynamic way then try to reproduce it in a small project and upload it.

I'm not loading it. New projects seem to work; I can send you the... usual project , if you want.


[Perhaps you already have not used files in the projects I sent you]

 

[Erel]

I'm not loading it

It doesn't matter whether you are loading it or not.

For example if you add this line to your project then it will never report about unused files:

If False Then LoadBitmap(File.DirAssets, "aaa" & x)

 

[LucaMs]

Yes but "aaa" should be part of the file name (in my intention, in your example) or X should be.

Check my project: I renamend Trofeo.png to OLDTrofeo.png because I was trying to use an animated gif (and this worked) an I forgot to remove OLDTrofeo.png.

 

[Erel]

No. The warning engine doesn't try to evaluate the expression. If it is not a string literal then it disables this warning completely.

 

[LucaMs]

Eh, ho capito ma forse non mi so esprimere!
I know, the warning does not appear if I write, for example: "FileName" & Extension, even if the value of Extension was ".png". It is obvious.

 

[LucaMs]

No. The warning engine doesn't try to evaluate the expression. If it is not a string literal then it disables this warning completely.

is it possible that I am understanding the opposite?

The engine is not able, cannot evaluate variables; just for this reason if I search the file name in my code and I don't find it (post #5), as the engine does, the warning should be shown. Or not?!?!

I'm still convinced that this is a bug.

It depends. See my answers in posts #2, #6, #8, #10. No point in writing the same answer for the fifth time

 

[LucaMs]

Ok, i'm stopping here: you're wrong

 

[LucaMs]

Finally I understand what you mean.

If my code contains some kind of command which COULD (or might? I don't know which verb should I use here ) be related to some file, no warning (about any file) will be shown.

Finally I understand what you mean.

If my code contains some kind of command which COULD (or might? I don't knwo which verb shoud I use here ) be related to some file, no warning (about any file) will be shown.

Congratulations, you should take up fishing

Congratulations, you should take up fishing

Sometimes I'm tired (often) but also words like "could", "might", "any", "some", when you (me) don't speak english very well, increase my confusion .

So who knows how many projects I have with unused files and I have totally relied on the warnings!

Dannazione (it is not a very bad word ), I must apologize and it is never possible to find an error made by Erel!
