Android Question [SOLVED]: Compile error when using XUI Views (Version: 2.41) in my app, but XUI example works

[PhilN]

I am getting the following error:

B4A Version: 10.2
Java Version: 11
Parsing code. (0.10s)
Building folders structure. (0.05s)
Compiling code. Error
Error compiling program.
Error description: Current declaration does not match previous one.
Previous: {Type=Tasks,Rank=0, RemoteObject=False}
Current: {Type=List,Rank=0, RemoteObject=True}
Error occurred on line: 70
Dim tasks As List


The Log shows:

Unknown member: add

The error only occurs when I simply include the XUI Views (Version: 2.41) library no matter whether I use any views in my code or not. As soon as I un-include the library my app compiles successfully. This is very strange behavior.

Looks like you have a previous declaration of a variable 'tasks' as a type called 'Tasks' and you are re-declaring as a List.

The weird thing is no where in any of my activities does ' Dim tasks As List' appear. Edit: I did previously use 'tasks as a list', but no longer. This is very odd and somehow I cannot seem to get rid of this particular error. I created a new project and copied the so called "broken" code of the activity that utilizes XUI views and pasted it into the new project main activity. It works and compiles properly. Perhaps I should recreate my project or at least the activity module that is in question.

Or you can try Ctrl+P Clean Project.

Thanks, but I have cleaned the project many times in an effort to get rid of the error.

It will not help.

Does it make any difference if you change Task with Task1?

 

[Star-Dust]

you probably have two libraries or classes that declare a variable with two different types.

What other library do you use?

 

[PhilN]

SOLVED: Ok. So I found the error. I had an activity module named 'Tasks' which seemed to be clashing with the XUI views library. So I renamed the activity to MyTasks and now everything works. Thanks for your advise @Erel.

Yes
