Wish Need possibility to refresh shared module

[corwin42]

I'm currently working on a project that uses B4A and B4J and since I need to handle the same data objects in both IDEs I have some shared modules which are shared between the B4A and B4J project.

1) In the development process I currently have both IDEs open and when I make a change to a shared module in one IDE there seems to be no possibility to "refresh" the module in the other IDE. I always have to restart and reopen the project in the IDE to see the changes.

Is there a simple way to do the refresh?

If not, please add a possibility to refresh a shared module. Maybe a right click on the module with a popup "refresh" menu item would be nice.

2) For me it is not clear what exactly happens if I change the same module in both IDEs and press save. I get the message that the module was updated externally. If I press cancel, are all other modules saved and only the conflicting one is omitted?

3) Maybe the Shared Code Module thread should be updated with screenshots of the current IDE versions (Different icon vs. "(shared)" text behind the module name). And what I missed in the tutorial is the information which code module types can be shared between the different B4X versions. I think class and code modules can be shared.

1. Currently you will need to reload the project for the module to be updated.

2. There is no cancel button. If you press on No then only the module is not saved.

3. I've updated the image. All modules can be shared. Though activities and services should only be shared between B4A projects.

Hope it is on your ToDo list. It's quite annoying to reload the project every time.

Thanks for clarifying the other points.

There are plans to make the whole modules organization more robust.
