My Type has almost a thousand Integers and changes alot when new functions are added. Is there any way to step through it to get the Variable names? If not, i just do it the hard way. // TMS Upvote 0

T Troberg Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Mar 19, 2015 #9 Maybe you should take a step back and reconsider using a type and think about using some other construct instead? Class, map, array, list, database are all viable alternatives, depending a bit on your specific needs. Upvote 0

Click to expand... Use KeyValueStore (or RandomAccessFile.WriteB4XObject). It allows you to save a type instance or any collection that holds other types in a single line of code. Upvote 0

T Troberg Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Mar 19, 2015 #12 I don't know the project, but, in my experience, don't underestimate the power of search and replace, and simple find and manual correct. I'd make a copy of the project, and then start doing the change, just to get a feel for how big it really is. Usually, when I fear a big rewrite, it's much less work than I thought. Upvote 0
