B4J Question class in list

[madru]

Good morning,

I am redoing a few my old applications to get rid of legacy stuff.....

in one of the apps I use a class stored in an array like this

dim tsr() as mpegTsReader
tsr(packetCount).Initialize(mpegPacket, blockRead,errorFree)

I like to move that over to a List or Map to look it up easier, but I have no idea how to do it

dim listtest as list
listtest.Initialize
listtest.add(tsr.Initialize(mpegPacket, blockRead,errorFree))

I thought that will work but unfortunately not

any ideas?

THX

You're adding the value returned from the initialize sub. Normally, you should initialize first then add the class to the list

OK, thought it is doable in one go

I am not so sure, but in your initialize method you can do this.

public sub initialize(args as string) as object

return me
end sub

now you can add it directly to your list.

also. you can add it even when it is not initialied.

Check that by changing the signature of an essential sub, you don't invalidate the initialization ... Test by calling IsInitialized returns true
