640 PointsgetIcon() vs mIcon in if-else block conditions
In the if-else block comparisons, is using mIcon the same as using getIcon()? The mIcon member variable is an id string and the getIcon() method returns an id string so it does it matter? Is there a best practice regarding this?
if (getIcon().equals("clear-day"))
{
iconId = R.drawable.clear_day;
}
in place of
if (mIcon.equals("clear-day"))
{
iconId = R.drawable.clear_day;
}
Thank you! -- Ahmed
