Android Question Cast Object to View

[Indy]

Hi Folks,

Quick question - Is it possible to cast a generic Object to a View? I want to convert a generic object to a view which is based on a value from a database table. For example;

Dim ob As Object
Dim cbox as CheckBox


if val="cb" then
    ob = cbox
    ob.Initialize("")
    
    etc....
end if

The reason I'm doing this is because I'm building a config screen, which will read values from a table in an SQlite database and dynamically create views and set their values. I'd prefer not to hardcode the views as these may change over time.

Thanks

You could use a B4XView instead of an object.

Dim MyView As B4XView



if val="cb" then
    Dim cbox as CheckBox
    cbox.Inizialize("") ' <--- "cbox"?
    MyView = cbox
   
    etc....
end if
