Android Question B4xtable column index

[Hamied Abou Hulaikah]

How to get the column index (not columnid) of b4xtable cell clicked event?

 

[Erel]

Dim c As B4XTableColumn = B4XTable1.GetColumn(ColumnId)
Dim index As Int = B4XTable1.Columns.IndexOf(c)

 

[Hamied Abou Hulaikah]

Dim c As B4XTableColumn = B4XTable1.GetColumn(ColumnId)
Dim index As Int = B4XTable1.Columns.IndexOf(c)

Thank you @Erel
But index in your code always returns 0 for my table
My table snapshot is attached

The code I posted returns the column index from the columns list. I'm not sure which index you are trying to get. It is better if you upload a small project.

 

[Hamied Abou Hulaikah]

Project example is attached.
Clicking any cell, Always you'll get column index 0 according to your code above.
I want it as this: if you clicked on Erel cell you should got index 1 and if you clicked on Hamied cell you should got index 2 and so on.

If all your columns have the same name then perhaps you should consider using the CustomListView rather than a table.

-j

If you change these lines from:

B4XTable1.AddColumn("Name",B4XTable1.COLUMN_TYPE_TEXT)
    B4XTable1.AddColumn("Name",B4XTable1.COLUMN_TYPE_TEXT)
    B4XTable1.AddColumn("Name",B4XTable1.COLUMN_TYPE_TEXT)

to:

B4XTable1.AddColumn("Name1",B4XTable1.COLUMN_TYPE_TEXT)
    B4XTable1.AddColumn("Name2",B4XTable1.COLUMN_TYPE_TEXT)
    B4XTable1.AddColumn("Name3",B4XTable1.COLUMN_TYPE_TEXT)

It will work for you.

I want column index regardless of column title "columnid"
In cellclicked event we get the row id perfectly, but column index no!
My purpose is getting the column index from the table so I can iterate smoothly through the table columns, and i can call the column by index not name.
I don't depend on titles, because my app is multilanguages, so it is a time consuming to depend on column titles.

You cannot have the same title for each column in B4XTable for it to work properly. It uses an in-memory SQLite database where you cannot have 2 identical column names.

It can has more columns with the same title
Please check attached example above

Correct code:

B4XTable1.AddColumn("Name1",B4XTable1.COLUMN_TYPE_TEXT).Title = "Name"
    B4XTable1.AddColumn("Name2",B4XTable1.COLUMN_TYPE_TEXT).Title = "Name"
    B4XTable1.AddColumn("Name3",B4XTable1.COLUMN_TYPE_TEXT).Title = "Name"

By default the id and title are the same. You can change it. Note that the id is not related to the SQL column name (Column.SQLID returns the SQL column name).
