So... I added a Horizontal Scroll View in the designer, along with 4 Buttons... all childs of the "activity" as we cannot set the views directly to the Scroll View's panel...
Yes, I know... it slipped me...but the strange thing is that no error was issued...
and if I understand correctly, initializing a view should render it to it's unsetted state...
when we re-initialize objects like the canvas or an array, we nknow we are reseting it... So in the case of a view, initializing it for a second time should either reset it or bring an error message up.
