Java Question How to handle Enum in Listener?

[tchart]

Hi

I'm writing a wrapper for a library. I have several listeners working as expected which pass through floats etc

Another listener passes back an Object and a Enum.

What is the best way to handle an Enum in B4A?

Should I cast the Enum to a string in the wrapper or is there a smarter way to handle the Enum?

Ideally I would like to avoid duplicating the Enum with custom types in B4A (as per here) which is why Im thinking of returning a string.

Any better ways to do this?

Thanks

You can call Enum.toString and return the constant name.

Note that strings can be casted to enums automatically. This is useful if you need to accept an enum.

Thanks Erel.

I did notice that the Strings are cast to Enums automatically when calling a function.

The problem I was having was with the "signature" of my listener which was sending returning an Enum. I had to change the return type to be a String.
