Android Question Hide Type from a class

[Star-Dust]

I created a custom type within a class. I need to save data.

I do not want this Type to appear after the class is completed. Now I manually delete the type declared by the XML file. So it does not appear to me.

The question is: is there another way to exclude (or not display) the custom type from the compiled class?

Maybe just make the Type Private inside the Class

It signals an error if imposed as private

I think it's no possible to hide a type. So i wrote a wish about this few time ago

[DonManfred]

are you trying to access the property from outside the class?

Hiding your code will not help us

 

[Star-Dust]

Maybe the IDE could delete the type when it generates the XML file. Maybe with specific code settings.

Otherwise I would have to create an App in Vb6 that would modify XML ... frankly I would like to avoid it

I have to hide a Type. No variable declared with that type must be read from the outside.

It is for internal use only

Use a class instead of a Type

Use a class instead of a Type

In some case you can't use a class instead of type

An example?

For example?

When you need to save the object with serialization. Class has a context that can't be serialized, so if you want to save the entire object you can't use a class

I never serialized objects but I believe you.
I suppose this is the only exception.

I was simply hoping for a command

#ExcludeFromXml
Type LucaMs (Genial  as int) 
#ExcludeEnd

I know that the Anywhere software is made up of good, warm-hearted and generous men. I am sure that they will insert a similar thing in B4A 8.0

Well, it should allow private types, not:

#ExcludeFromXml

but I think it is not possible.

This is not useful, I must of course exclude that class from the library.

When you exclude it, it does not allow you to use it within the other classes present

He was an example.
It could also be:

#Region ExcludeFromXml

Or

PrivateForLibrary  Type LucaMs (Romanaccio as Boolean)

Your class, used instead of your type, will not be exposed by your library; did you try?
