Android Question [B4XPages] Global Variables

[aeric]

In Default B4A, I used to declare my global variables in Main and then later I used Starter to declare global variables such as UserID, SQL and KeyValueStore variables.

How about B4XPages? Do we store these variable in B4XMainPage?

B4XPage is a class so if it is necessary to access the variable make it Public and then access it like f.e. Page1.VariableName. If you want to obfuscate it though (f.e. a string) then you should use the Process_Globals of Main or Starter because the strings in a Class are not obfuscated.

Yes, I would like to know any "best" practice so when we develop for B4i and B4J will follow the same convention. So I think the correct way is to put those variables in Main class.

This is the wrong solution.

Put it in B4XMainPage. This way it will be cross platform.

Thanks @Erel for clarification.

And for the obfuscation purpose?
I'm currently using a code module with only the strings requiring obfuscation, declared as public and using them from the other pages

Good solution.

BTW. Just in case it is not obvious to everyone.

In B4XMainPage, declare variable as public

Public variablename as string

Now you can access it on another page with the code:

B4XPages.MainPage.variablename
