Assume ClassA that define a static final string:

public class ClassA implements Serializable {

public final static String KeyString = "aKeyString";

And now ClassB trying to use this string:

anIntent.putExtra(ClassA.KeyString, anObject);

I get an error on the ClassA.KeyString part stating it cannot be resolved or is not a field. If I replace it with the string "aKeyString", it works fine. But I want to have a fixed key string to minimize typo erros.

Did you import ClassA ? Obviously, it should work ... – Toilal Jun 08 '13 at 09:25
Yes, I import it and Eclipse shows that by making the KeyString italic. – Abdalrahman Shatou Jun 08 '13 at 09:27
Is the constant accessible from another class ? – Toilal Jun 08 '13 at 09:30
Post your `activity.xml` and full java code . – The Dark Knight Jun 08 '13 at 09:30
On another thought is `class B` an abstract class ? – The Dark Knight Jun 08 '13 at 09:31
This a lot, I cannot continue with Eclipse. I simply restarted Eclipse and it works fine now. Does any of you suffer from this too? – Abdalrahman Shatou Jun 08 '13 at 09:32
Check if Build Automatically is checked in "Project" menu ... – Toilal Jun 08 '13 at 09:43
