B4J Question [ABMaterial] dynamic height in ABMList items

In ABMList I can add any type of ABM component, but if I add different height items they are compressed at the same standard height. I tried the InitializeWithMaxHeight hoping could be the solution, but it seems to work in the same way as the standard Initialize.
any suggestions?
thanks

The items are just embedded in a container, more or less like this forum messages. Anyway using Initialize or InitializeWithMaxHeight the heights of the items are the same.

I don't know if I understand your response, but:
@alwaysbusy meant -put a single item into a new container - then add this new container to the ABMList.... and repeat for each item...

I don't know about ABMLists (I don't use) - but when using ABMCombo, this restricts the height of the dropdown to show only 4 items (for example) with a scrollbar to access other items...

Sometimes, when all else fails, I resort to the ABMTable which may adjust the row size (height) depending on the content - such as an image (bitmap not resized) in a cell...

Good luck with this. I am sure you will work it out...

Thx

I confirm: first I put my item in a new container and then I add each container in the ABMList.
Originally I used a direct load of the container's items in the page:
B4X: 
    For i = 0 To mySe.myTh.lstClassThreadEl.Size - 1
        Dim thEl As ThreadEl = mySe.myTh.lstClassThreadEl.Get(i)
        Dim singleMessage As ABMContainer = ABMShared.BuildSingleMessage(page,mySe,i,thEl)
        page.Cell(2,1).AddComponent(singleMessage)
'        liMsgs.AddItem("limsgs-" & i,singleMessage)
    Next
and the result was this:

but I need to select a single item and so I tried to insert the items in an ABMList like this:
B4X: 
liMsgs.InitializeWithMaxHeight(page,"liMsgs",ABM.COLLAPSE_ACCORDION,500,"")
    For i = 0 To mySe.myTh.lstClassThreadEl.Size - 1
        Dim thEl As ThreadEl = mySe.myTh.lstClassThreadEl.Get(i)
        Dim singleMessage As ABMContainer = ABMShared.BuildSingleMessage(page,mySe,i,thEl)
'        page.Cell(2,1).AddComponent(singleMessage)
        liMsgs.AddItem("limsgs-" & i,singleMessage)
    Next
    page.Cell(2,1).AddComponent(liMsgs)
and the result is this.

is now my target clear ?

B4X: 
For i = 0 To mySe.myTh.lstClassThreadEl.Size - 1
        Dim thEl As ThreadEl = mySe.myTh.lstClassThreadEl.Get(i)
        Dim singleMessage As ABMContainer = ABMShared.BuildSingleMessage(page,mySe,i,thEl)

        singleMessage.Tag = "Some_Key_You_Use_To_ID_This_Record" ' can be an object....
        page.Cell(2,1).AddArrayComponent(singleMessage,"MessageArray")
     
Next
 
Sub MessageArray_Clicked(Target as String)
 
    Log(" Target: " &Target)
    ' You will see that the Target contains the ID of the container clicked...
    ' Now get the tag of the container and do what you want with selected record
 
End Sub

The above may substitute as a ABMList - using your Container method...

Cat Skinning - there is more than one way.... I wanted to create a configuration sheet using ABMSwitch. However, the click method does not have a (Target as String) param. Same goes for ABMCheckbox... ABMChips was used for this example since it works. I found the original example of...
