Java Question Class in limbo........

[mrred128]

I have an external class declared as final and it's members as static. I have created a working xml file and everything should be good to go......

When declaring the var "dim xyz as ClassName", I get an error "src\com\domain\MyApp\main.java:253: ClassName() has private access in com.....ClassName"

My thinking is this should happen, as it is a static class. But when I try to use ClassName.func() without a dim of xyz, b4a complains that ClassName variable does not exist.

What do we do?

Can you post the class code (or part of it)?

It's a supplied jar from PushLink. The javadoc for the lib is https://push-link.com/javadoc502/index.html?com/pushlink/android/PushLink.html

I'm not sure what the distribution rights are, so I would suggest you create a login (free) and download the jar.

Here is the xml file I use for the jar

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root>
<doclet-version-NOT-library-version>1.02</doclet-version-NOT-library-version>
<class>
<name>com.pushlink.android.PushLink</name>
<shortname>PushLink</shortname>
<owner>activity</owner>
<method>
<name>start</name>
<parameter><name>Context</name><type>java.lang.Object</type></parameter>
<parameter><name>NotifyIcon</name><type>int</type></parameter>
<parameter><name>ApiKey</name><type>java.lang.String</type></parameter>
<parameter><name>DeviceID</name><type>java.lang.String</type></parameter>
<returntype>void</returntype>
</method>
</class>
<version>5.02</version>
</root>

In the Main activity create my code would be.....

dim pl as PushLink
dim ph as Phone
If FirstTime Then Pl.start(Me,0,"yourkeyhere",ph.getSettings("android_id"))

You will need to create a wrapper class. The wrapper will be marked with @DependsOn (values={"<name of jar>"}) and it will access the native jar methods. Your app will access the wrapper.

I was hoping you wouldn't say that..... Now I have to install eclipse and watch my world go dark.......

Thanks for the quick reply.
