Android Question add CustomView to Activity at runtime?

[MarkusR]

hello,
how can i add a custom view (it have the name ViewConsumer) to activity at runtime?

Activity.AddView(View1

Consumer is a class with data.

#Region  Activity Attributes
    #FullScreen: False
    #IncludeTitle: True
#End Region

Sub Process_Globals
    'These global variables will be declared once when the application starts.
    'These variables can be accessed from all modules.

End Sub

Sub Globals
    'These global variables will be redeclared each time the activity is created.
    'These variables can only be accessed from this module.
    Dim Views As List
    Dim Timer1 As Timer

End Sub

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
    'Do not forget to load the layout file created with the visual designer. For example:
    'Activity.LoadLayout("Layout1")

    Activity.Title = "Consumers"
    Activity.AddMenuItem("Settings","Settings")

    Views.Initialize
    Dim Consumer1 As Consumer
    Dim i As Int
    Dim y As Int = 0
    For i = 1 To 10
        Consumer1.Initialize
        Consumer1.Dummy("Name " & i)
        Dim View1 As ViewConsumer
        View1.Set(Consumer1)
        View1.GetBase.Tag = Consumer1
        Activity.AddView(View1 ,0,y,100%x,100dip)      
        y=y+100dip
        Views.Add(View1)
    Next

    Timer1.Initialize("Timer1",1000)
    Timer1.Enabled = True

End Sub

Sub Activity_Resume

End Sub

Sub Activity_Pause (UserClosed As Boolean)

End Sub

Sub Timer1_Tick

    For Each View1 As ViewConsumer In Views
       
        Dim Consumer1 As Consumer : Consumer1 = View1.GetBase.Tag
        If Consumer1.Data.On = True Then
            Consumer1.Update      
            View1.Set(Consumer1)
        End If
       
    Next
   
End Sub

Sub Settings_Click
   
    Log("Settings_Click")
   
End Sub

the custom view "ViewConsumer"

You can look at my AS onboarding view, there i have a "AddView", this is the method i use to add a custom view per code at runtime and it works, i use it.
