B4J Code Snippet [Tool] Property generator (not only for B4J, of course)

UPDATED. Read from Erel's post (#3)

New version attached to the first post (only added an icon to clear the first input box. When empty, the form is automatically resized (reduced)).

If I remember correctly, the property will not be recognized as a property if there is a global variable with the same name. Check it.

I remember always... nothing ?

I too have this doubt, but it seems to me that is should work.

I'll try, of course.

Not right now because I have another problem... for you

 

[LucaMs]

Strangely... you're right (as always ?).

I vaguely remembered this but I always used "m" as a prefix for the "property variable", so over time I forgot it.

I will look for a solution (I also thought of having them create multiple properties in one go, if you selected multiple declaration lines, but this was not a real tool I wanted to create, I would have liked... something else )

 

[LucaMs]

I will look for a solution

I have two options (or more?):

1 - force the programmer to use a prefix in the variable name (but I don't like that)

2 - add a suffix to the property name; for example if the variable name is... Name, the property would be "Sub setNameProp" (I don't like this too much but it's better than the previous one)

Other ideas?

Applied this second option.

Did you try this one? https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/quickly-create-get-setters-in-a-class.98560/post-620865

I "Liked" it, at that time.

This one "was born" quickly only after this, which I would prefer

The problem with writing a 'quick' utility is that it generally grows to the stage that it is no longer as quick . Feel free to take any logic you want from my effort.

You mean.... there's Logic involved????

 

[LucaMs]

You mean.... there's Logic involved????

In his project, yes.

 

[stevel05]

You mean.... there Logic involved????

Only very loosely. My development logic:

Sub DevelopmentLogic
    Dim TakeAGuess As Boolean = False
    Do While TakeAGuess = False
      TakeAGuess = FiddleWithIt
    Loop

    Log("At Last ... Time for Coffee")
End Sub

Private Sub FiddleWithIt As Boolean
    Scratch Head
    TrySomethingElse
    Return TrySomethingElse = True
End Sub

 

[Cableguy]

Hummm like the logic explanation I just posted in the chit-chat!

Hi to all,
sorry for my question, it may be answered in the forum, but I haven't found it...
How can I add the tool in IDE?

 

[LucaMs]

How can I add the tool in IDE?

It's not possible.

We must hope that Erel will add this feature, so we won't need this tool

 

[LucaMs]

You can run it, of course.

Thanks LucaMs,
ok, my missunderstand...

Not ; it would be nice to be able to add your own plugins to the IDE.
