B4J Question Is there a way to do this? (

[Marc De Loose]

It would simplify the code. If I could do something like this.

private sub whatever   
        Private xTest As B4XView = lst_xRotateKnobs.Get(i)
        If xTest Is xRotateKnob Then
            Public xObject As xTextField
            
        Else If xTest Is xTextField Then
            Public xObject As xRotateKnob
        End If
        
        ' do stuff with the resulting xObject'
        
end sub

Do you get any error?

private sub whatever  
        Dim xTest As Object = lst_xRotateKnobs.Get(i)
        If xTest Is xRotateKnob Then
            Dim xObject As xRotateKnob = xTest
           
        Else If xTest Is xTextField Then
            Dim xObject As xTextField = xTest
        End If
       
        ' do stuff with the resulting xObject'
       
end sub

Why not do stuff with the resulting xObject in the conditional branch?

No you cannot do it that way.
1. Because xRotaryKnob is not a B4XView.
2. You will get this error: 'Current declaration does not match the previous one'. You need to give it a different name.

For point1 you got a solution.
But it does not solve the second one, you need a different name.

Do you have a concrete example on what exactly you want to do ?

I though so. I moved what I wanted to do into the class to simplify things.
