Sorry if it's a rudimentary question about Java as I'm coming from AS3 and
just basically starting out. Though I understand many concepts so far and
am writing my first app I'm trying to find best practices in some cases.
My question is the following.
In AS3, I could I address an instance of a class with the string.
So in AS3, I could do this:
var myMC = new MovieClip();
myMC.name = "somename";
now in my other code I can do this
var tmpInstance = this.getChildByName("somename");
Is there an equivalent like this in Java/Android dev?
So for a super simple example.. I'm writing a code now that looks like this:
RadioButton myRadioBttn1 = findViewById(R.id.RadioButton01);
RadioButton myRadioBttn2 = findViewById(R.id.RadioButton01);
but later in the or in my custom methods I want to do something like this:
RadioButton myRadioBttn1_instance = this.getRadioButton("myRadioBttn1");
where i"m really just coming out with my own syntax here to get my point
across. So I am trying to address a specific instance of the class I
defined earlier in the code by passing a specific string so I can do
something dynamically in the code.
I am sure I'm looking at this completely the wrong way as it is not done
like that (I'm sure that it's a bad practices because in my example I'm
creating a new instance rather than working on the existing one) but I'm
not sure how to do this dynamically.
Thanks.
