Android Question Expand a Label in CustomListView

[Smee]

Hi All

I have read everything I can on the forums including this link https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...matically-set-label-height.77849/#post-493054
but i am unable to find anything that works. I have actually tried to increase the size (Height) of the panel manually but it does not work either.

I have a clv with an image and 2 labels. They all display fine when anything is added but I cannot get the labels to increase their size automatically. Sometimes the label will have 2 lines of text and sometimes 4.
The code has been taken from the example and is

Sub CreateListItem(Text As String, Width As Int, Height As Int) As Panel
    Dim p As Panel
    p.Initialize("")
      Activity.AddView(p, 0, 0, Width, Height)
    p.LoadLayout("CellItem")
    p.RemoveView
    Label1.Text = Text
    lblMessage.Text=msgTitle & CRLF & msgBody
'    clvMessage.AddTextItem(msgTitle & CRLF & msgBody,"")
    If NextRecord Mod 2 = 0 Then
            lblMessage.Color=Colors.Blue
            Label1.Color=Colors.Cyan
    Else
            lblMessage.Color=Colors.White
            Label1.Color=Colors.White
    End If
'    If NextRecord=23 Then Log(lblMessage & msgBody)
    iv1.SetBackgroundImage(bmpName)
    Return p
End Sub

I have tried .clvMessage.AddTextItem but that just puts a text label on the panel without the other views.
Can anyone point me in the direction of a working example to fix this. Also I do not understand the logic behind adding the panel (p) and then removing it. I would have thought that all the views on the panel would be removed too. I am obviously missing something here.
Appreciate any help with this

In the stubLabel you calculate the label height with the whole CustomListView width.

You are correct. It is a mistake. I should have subtract 140dip from the total width:

p.AddView(stubLabel, 0, 0, Width - 140dip, 0)

The benefit of getting the size correctly before loading the layout is that it is simpler to make changes and add more elements with the visual designer.
