Android Question class ToString method?

leitor79 · Sep 30, 2019

Hi,

I'm using a dialog with B4XListTemplate and I've noticed that if I use a list of objects, the string shown it's kinda a composition of the properties names and values.

I'd like to know if there is a way to modify this behavior, like overriding the ToString() methind in .NET.

Thank you!

You can write your own tostring method in your class if you want to specify the output.

The items in B4XListTemplate.Options should be strings or CharSequences (created with CSBuilder). You shouldn't add other types of items. As DonManfred wrote you can create a ToString method and then call it to convert the class instance to a string:

B4X:

List.Options.Add(Item.ToString)

Thank you very much, @DonManfred and @Erel!

Anyway, It would have been nice to have the ability to use objects in that list, since options.SelectedItems.Get returns an object type.

Regards!!
