Java Question Returning an array

[tchart]

Sorry if this has been covered elsewhere, I have searched the forum and cant find anything.

So I have a library which wraps a custom type called Graphic - the wrapper being GraphicWrapper.

Now in another class I have method that returns an array of graphics (ie public Graphic[] getGraphics() etc)

In b4a Im getting the "inconvertible types"

One of the types being reported is Graphic[] and the other is GraphicWrapper[]

How do I deal with this?

1) I have tried to return GraphicWrapper[] but this seems troublesome as I cant easily create an array of GraphicWrappers

2) As a work around I have successfully returned a b4a List of Graphic objects and this works well.

Is approach #2 advisable or is there a better way to handle this?

You can either create an array of GraphicWrappers or a List of Graphic objects. Both solutions are good.

Erel,

Thanks for the reply.

Is there an easy way to create/copy the array? Or do I need to loop through each one and use setobject?

If you choose to use an array then you will need to manually convert each item.

Thanks Erel, I tried the array method but it was too cumbersome. Ive stuck with returning a B4A List object which works nicely.
