Android Question How can I pass a Sub as parameter

[tonyp]

Hi,

Now that we can have shared code libraries I thought about writing some generic code that calls the method passed in as parameter.

For example, I want to pass Activity.Finish to a Sub to have it called under specific conditions.

Is this possible somehow?

TIA

Just check your conditions and use Activity.Finish inside your sub... You dont need to "get" the "sub" Activity.Finish as parameter to this sub... That´s totally needless and you make it just more complicated than it should be!

But Activity.Finish shows as undeclared in that shared code module!

For your example, you can pass the Activity as a parameter, not the "sub" Finish.

YourModule

public sub EndActivity (Act as actvity)
  Act.Finish
end sub

But, even if I have not shared modules , they should be used to take advantage of their routine, not vice versa.

You should have explained more details of the situation.
WE dont know that it is a code-module. So we are thinking about the same activity..
We dont get infos about any error you got.

@DonManfred Well, I did start by saying "... we can have shared code libraries ..." so it is assumed I'm referring to a problem in relation to that, or else that sentence would be irrelevant noise. Agreed about not mentioning the actual error, though. Thanks.

@LucaMs Thanks, this worked.
