Android Question Cannot store views in array in GetAllViewsRecursive loop

[Thomas.]

Hi all,

1st I'd like to say thank you for this very informative forum! I've read a lot here and found many solutions. But I could'nt find one for this problem. Maybe someone has an idea (hopefully).

I have 5 ImageViews inside a Panel which I originally copied from the UserInteraceButtonToolbox sample. To get later access to each one of these ImageViews I thought I could copy them to an array while I initialized them:

Dim btnPage(6) As ImageView
Dim i As Int
Dim h, w, b As Int

pnlToolbox.Width = Activity.Width
w = pnlToolbox.Width / 5
pnlToolbox.Height = w
h = w * .7
b = (w - h) / 2

For Each v As ImageView In pnlToolbox.GetAllViewsRecursive
    v.Height = h
    v.Width = h
    v.Top = b
    v.Left = w * (v.Tag - 1) + b
    btnPage(v.Tag) = v        ' store reference to ImageView in array
    Log("T: " & btnPage(v.Tag).Tag)
Next

For i = 1 To 5
    Log("t: " & btnPage(i).tag)
Next

While executing this code I get this in the debugging window:

** Activity (main) Pause, UserClosed = false **
** Activity (main) Create, isFirst = true **
T: 1
T: 2
T: 3
T: 4
T: 5

To me this looks as if the array contains all 5 ImageViews. But, while executing this in the same sub

For i = 1 To 5
    Log("t: " & btnPage(i).tag)
Next

I get

t: 5
t: 5
t: 5
t: 5
t: 5
** Activity (main) Resume **
** Activity (main) Resume **

And after this all 5 references in the array point to the last inserted ImageView.

What am I doing wrong?

For Each v As ImageView

will not work. You can not limit the result from GetAllViewRecursive

Try this

For Each v As View In pnlToolbox.GetAllViewsRecursive
if v is Imageview then
    dim iv as imageview = v
    [...]
end if
Next

Thank you DonManfred for this quick answer. It works!

What I thought is, that if there are only ImageViews on the panel it should work my way.

Have a nice Easter! And thanks again!
