Android Question How to add XUI ImageSlider from code

[Brandsum]

Hi,

I'm using this ImageSlider by @Erel .

I want to add this image slider to a Panel from code. Like this:

    Dim StoreBanner As ImageSlider
StoreBanner.Initialize(Me,"Banner")
PageScroll.Add(StoreBanner,"") 'PageScroll is a CustomListView

But I'm getting this error:

*** Service (starter) Create ***
** Service (starter) Start **
** Activity (main) Create, isFirst = true **
** Activity (main) Resume **
*** Service (httputils2service) Create ***
** Service (httputils2service) Start **
** Activity (main) Pause, UserClosed = false **
** Activity (storeinner) Create, isFirst = true **
** Activity (storeinner) Resume **
Error occurred on line: 212 (CustomListView)

What is the correct way to add this ImageSlider from code?

You are attempting to pass an ImageSlider customview where the CLV is expecting a Panel.

In the Designer save a new layout containing ImageSlider .. then

Dim p As Panel
p.Initialize("")
p.LoadLayout("imageslider")
pagescroll.Add(p,  "")

I have not played / used an ImageSlider .. but you should be able to interact with the individual sliders with the CLV.GetPanel(Index) etc ...

That's a nice workaround.

Here I found an example https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/b4x-customlistview-with-multiple-imagesliders.97219/

I did see that example ... but do not have B4i , so could not confirm how the sliders were loaded to the CLV.
From the code in that thread, it does appear relatively easy to interact with the individual sliders though.
