Wish Private Type

[stevel05]

It would be useful to have a Private Type definition that is available only to the class in which it is defined.

As an example, in a custom view class I would like to set a Tag with a specific data structure, which is totally irrelevant outside of the class. I could (and will for now) use a standard type, but if I end up using a number of them it will clutter the intellisense in other modules with items that will not be of any use.

I could use a Map and Array with Private variables for access, but a Private type would be so much simpler.

although here Erel said it may be possible in the future : https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/keywords-private-types.39597/#post-235624

.. and we are in the future

That's an example of one of the biggest disadvantages I experience with B4X ... Ways of properly encapsulating code, for the rest ... great products !
