Help about panels

[hpk2000]

I´m developing my first app under b4a kit and it uses a tab host. My question is, what is the best method to deal with different views?

Actually I initialized every panel as soon as my app starts and when I want to switch beetween views I just put the panel visible and enabled in FALSE and the one that want to show in TRUE.

Is it correct? Is it exist a better solution? Because if the view has edit text, labels, their information remains when i show that view again. ¿Is there a method to clear the values?

Thanks and hope you can help me!

See the TabHost tutorial: Basic4android Search: TabHost

There is no need to manually show and hide the panels. TabHost takes care of that.

Problem is that inside the tab host I have a view that shows other view, appart from the other tabs.

Is this your account too?

You will need to clear the views content if you want to reuse them.

Yeah! that's the one I purchased the kit but I use this for the forum (my mistake, sorry).

So I have to EditText.text = "" , Label.text = "" manually for each component?

Actually it is better that you use the other one.

Why do you need to reuse the same views? I'm not sure that it is the best solution.

It is possible to automatically clear the text of the views.

Here is the example:

Tab 1 holds a list view where I can select a row. When I select a row I shows a new panel with the info row I selected. That panels contains a Back button to returns to list view and choose other.

Deppending on a value of the row clicked I have to fill the info view with some particular data, that's why I want to clear the subviews (label, edit text) values.

You will need to do it manually. Consider using a different activity for the form. It is usually better than using the same activity with different layouts.
