Android Question AS Settings with segmented tab - how to set value in code?

[Dave O]

I'm trying out Alexander Stolte's AS Settings library for building preference pages (in my first B4XPages project).

I've added the ASSegmentedTab extension and it works well in the UI, but I can't figure out how to set its value in code, and haven't found an example on the forum.

In the B4XPage_Created event, I create the segmented tab:

prefs.MainPage.AddProperty_SegmentedTab("GeneralSettings", "scoreToEnd", "Points to win", "", Null, "10000", CreateMap("3000":1, "5000":2, "10000":3), 0)

...then in the B4XPage_Appear event, I try to set it to a value saved in a map. First I tried:

prefs.MainPage.GetProperty("scoreToEnd").Value = settingsMap.Get("scoreToEnd")

...but that didn't do anything, so I went back to the sample code and saw that I needed to drill down to the actual view and set its value, but tried this with no luck:

prefs.MainPage.GetProperty("player1Name").View.As(B4XView).Text = settingsMap.Get("player1Name")   'this works
prefs.MainPage.GetProperty("scoreToEnd").View.As(ASSegmentedTab).Index = settingsMap.Get("scoreToEnd")   'this doesn't work

Any tips? Thanks!

No answer (even from the library author) on this, and I can't get it to load values, so I'll have to build this page manually.

That's a shame because the library was really good otherwise.

I tested this, it works.
What is the value you get the map?

settingsMap.Get("scoreToEnd")

Which code worked for you - setting Value or setting Index?

I tried every variation I could think of but could not get it to work. I also tried tying the segmentedTab that I referenced through GetProperty directly to a singleton ASSegmentedTab, but still couldn't get the former to change to a specified index/value.

Setting index, it will call the event AS_Settings1_ValueChanged
