I have a map that stores strings and occasionally a Type or two.
I would like to know if the value returned from Map1.Get("Key1") is a scalar value (String, Int etc.) or a Type.
I could of course check the object that the map returns, using If Stmts like:
Is there a simple way to determine if the value returned from Map1.Get into locObj is a scalar variable (String etc.) or something else?
If there is no easy way to do it, then I will simply check for every possible Type that it could be.
TIA
P.S. This is more of a theoretical example rather than a practical example. I know I could change the map's Key to suffix on the Type of variable that stored for that entry, but this has me wondering if there is a simple way of determining if an object contains a scalar value.

B4X:
private locObj as Object
locObj = Map1.Get("key1")
if locObj is TMyType then
private locMyType as TMyType
locMyType = locObj
else
if locObj is TMyType2 then
private locMyType2 as TMyType2
locMyType2 = locObj
else
'This is not TMyType or TMyType2, so it probably is a String?
private locStr as String
locStr = locObj
end if
