iOS Question B4XMainPage - Android and IOS UI controls in the same module

[philly_tee]

Hi - I have built an Android B4XPages app. I am now looking to build the equivalent for IOS.
In B4XMainPage I have Android specific controls as part of the UI:

Sub Class_Globals
    Private edBrigadeNumber As EditText
    Private edSecret As EditText
    
    ...
End Sub

As B4i has TextFields instead of EditTexts, I get a syntax error in B4i.

What is best practice here? As B4XMainPage is shared across the three platforms, a change in one IDE will result in errors in the others.

Many thanks

Philip

Use As B4xview.

You can also use:

#If B4i
    Dim txt1 As TextField
#Else if B4A
    Dim txt1 As EditText
#End if

In B4XMainPage I have Android specific controls as part of the UI:

Not good. Quickly change their declaration to B4XView or better use B4XFloatTextField from XUI Views instead.

Thanks all; appreciate your advice. I have changed to B4XView. I'll also look into XUI Views.
