Android Question BBLabel or BBCodeView Background Color

[Mahares]

I searched for BBLabel and BBCodeView Background Color in the forum and in the pertinent b4xlib classes , but could not detect it. I am trying to mimic a project where I have used background color with CSBuilder, but with BCTextEngine I tried the following variants but none works: background-color, backgroundcolor, bgcolor

The supported tags are listed here: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...t-engine-bbcode-parser-rich-text-view.106207/

There is no built-in support for background color. It requires another drawing layer.
If the text is not too long, you can use this: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...o-a-piece-of-text-is-possible.120429/#content

Thank you. I applied it to a B4XPages project. It worked well. I have to note that: the use of tags is a must to wrap the highlighted words. Also, since I was using a small sentence, it worked whether the lazy loading is checked or unchecked in the designer. Using a background in BBCodeView was more cumbersome than using a background in CSBuilder, but, it works nonetheless.

I modeled my B4XPages project by the use of the snippet in Erel's above link. The B4J part of the project works well, but the B4A part crashes:
Private Sub AddBackgroundPanels

For Each x As B4XView In BBCodeView1.sv.ScrollViewInnerPanel.GetAllViewsRecursive
        If x.Tag = "background" Then   'Crash at this line which is line 78
            x.RemoveViewFromParent
        End If
    Next

Error occurred on line: 78 (B4XMainPage)

Change it to:

If x.Tag <> Null And x.Tag = "background" Then

BBCodeView1.mBase.Color=Colors.Red
    BBCodeView1.sv.Color=Colors.Red
