Android Question Exactly verify the type of control

[Roberto P.]

I have found that there are EditText controls, Label and Check boxes that come from the same class. So doing the following check I see that a check box is also a label!

Is there a way to check precisely the type of control via code?

here is a small example.

Dim v As View = m_chkDisattivo

If v Is Label Then
Log("Label") 'OK
End If

If v Is EditText Then
Log("text")
End If

If v Is CheckBox Then
Log("chek") 'OK
End If


Thanks so much

You can use GetType to get the java type. However a better solution is to change the order of tests:

Dim v As View = m_chkDisattivo
If v Is EditText Then
 ...
Else If v Is CheckBox Then

Else If v Is Label Then

End If

hello Erel,
I thank you for your reply.
you can tell me where can I find an example to do the check with Java.

Call GetType(v) and check the string returned.
