Android Question Basic understanding of xCustomListView

I'm a little bit confused: When I activate the xCustomListView Library, I can generate a view "CustomListView" in the designer. When I activate the XUI Views Library, I can also generate a "CostumListView". The name is the same, so are these views the same? If they are not: What happens, if I activate both libs, i. e. xCustomListView and XUI Views?

Btw, the native B4A ListView contains a RequestFocus-Method. Is there something similar for the xCLV?

Thanks for your reply. So, when I activate the lib XUI Views, then there's no need to activate xCustomListView in order to get the xCLV?

Wrong. Surely you need to mark xcustomlistview library to get the View. It is not part of XUI Views library.

These are two different Libraries

[B4X] XUI Views - Cross platform views and dialogs

XUI Views is a b4x library (https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/100383/#content). The same b4xlib library is compatible with B4A, B4i and B4J It is a collection of custom views and dialogs. Everything is written in B4X. The source code is included inside the b4xlib file, which is a zip...

[B4X] [XUI] xCustomListView - cross platform CustomListView

Update: As several other libraries depend on xCustomListView library, it is no longer recommended to use the code module. Use the library instead. There are several extension classes that add more features to xCLV. They are listed at the end of this post. Video tutorial: xCustomListView is...

RequestFocus are for views which edit something. TextEdit for example. Or a Button.
xCLV is not a editable view but can contain such.

A TexEdit added to the xCLV does have a RequestFocus. Even Buttons

Thanks, Manfred, for your answer.
I'm sorry that I was not clear enough:

When I activate only the XUI Views lib, then I can add such CustomViews as SwiftButton, ScrollingLabel, B4XSwitch, CustomListView and so on.
When I activate only the xCustomView Lib, then I can add the CustomView CustomListView.
(surprisingly, the two libs use the same name for this view: CustomListView)

The problem is: When I activate both libs, to which lib does the CustomListView then belong?

CustomListView ist NOT part of XUI Views!

CustomListView is part of the CustomListView-Module. It is also part of xclv Library (same Name: CustomListView).

Create a new project. JUST add XUI Views and nothing else.
Go to the designer and you´ll see there is no CustomListView to select.

This is normal because the XUI Views b4xlib depends on xCustomListView.
So, if you use the XUI Views library and you need xCustomListView then you don't need to check xCustomListView library.
Anyway, if you check, there will be no problem because they point to the same libary.

Content of the XUI Views b4xlibs manifest.txt file.
Version=2.24
B4J.DependsOn=jBitmapCreator, jXUI, jDateUtils, JavaObject, xCustomListView, B4XFormatter
B4A.DependsOn=BitmapCreator, XUI, DateUtils, xCustomListView, IME, JavaObject, B4XFormatter
B4i.DependsOn=iBitmapCreator, iXUI, iDateUtils, xCustomListView, B4XFormatter

Yes.

XUI Views automatically adds a reference to xCustomListView as well. It doesn't matter whether you check xCustomListView in the list or not, the result will be the same.
