Is there an access modifier, or combination thereof, to restrict access to an outer class only?
For the Position
property of nested class PanelFragment
below, I would like only the containing class ViewPagerPanels
to be able to set it (via the setter, I realize this could be done through a constructor parameter also).
public class ParcelView : MXActivityView<ParcelVM>, ViewPager.IOnPageChangeListener, IFragmentToViewPagerEvent
{
private ViewPagerPanels _pagerPanels;
protected override void OnCreate(Bundle bundle)
{
base.OnCreate(bundle);
_pagerPanels = new ViewPagerPanels(5); // 5: magic number, put int constant
_pagerPanels[0] = new ViewPagerPanels.PanelFragment(typeof(ViewA));
// ...
}
private class ViewPagerPanels
{
public class PanelFragment
{
public Fragment Fragment { get; set; }
// ?? - access modifer for set
public int Position { get; private set; }
}
public readonly int PANEL_COUNT;
private PanelFragment[] _panels;
public ViewPagerPanels(int count)
{
PANEL_COUNT = count;
_panels = new PanelFragment[PANEL_COUNT];
}
public PanelFragment this[int i]
{
get
{
return _panels[i];
}
set
{
_panels[i] = value;
// !! - cannot access private property
_panels[i].Position = i;
}
}
}
}
No, it's not possible to do it directly. The most restrictive access modifier, private
, already allows access from within the same class. Every other modifier further expands that access.
Every class, no matter if its nested, private or public, always has access to every single of its own declared members, with no chance of applyng restrictions to itself. The closest we can get is by using a readonly
field (or a getter only property) that prevents the declaring class from modifying a variable outside the constructor. But for a read-write one, we're out of options.
