Bug? Type declaration clashes with XUI Views

[CaptKronos]

(Not sure if this is reporting a bug or making a wish.)

As per this post https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/xui-views-causing-compiler-error.104310/ in a project that uses XUI Views, creating the following declaration causes a compile error.

Type item(index As Int, text As String)

In fact the actual definition of item doesn't matter, it's the name 'item' that causes the problem.

I believe it would be useful if the IDE (or the compiler with a more obvious error) could flag up these clashes.

Confirmed.

I have just noticed that this bug still exists in v5.81.

This is not exactly a bug. B4xlibs are compiled together with your app. The conflict happens because XUI Views code use the 'Item' identifier as a variable name.

Do you think it would be possible to introduce a more obvious error message?

This error will not happen in the next version of B4i.
