Sub Globals
'These global variables will be redeclared each time the activity is created.
'These variables can only be accessed from this module.
Dim pnl(6) As Panel
End Sub
Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
For i = 0 To 1
For j = 0 To 2
Left = (j * 120dip) + 10dip
Top = (i * 120dip) + 10dip
p = (i*3)+j
pnl(p).Initialize("")
pnl(p).Tag = Colors.RGB(Rnd(80, 256), Rnd(80, 256), Rnd(80, 256))
pnl(p).Color = pnl(p).Tag
Activity.AddView(pnl(p), Left, Top, 110dip, 110dip)
Next

B4X:
p = (i*3)+j
pnl(p).Initialize("pnl")
pnl(p).Tag = i & J  ' <--- You can use it to distinguish between the panels.
pnl(p).Color = Colors.RGB(Rnd(80, 256), Rnd(80, 256), Rnd(80, 256))

B4X:
Sub pnl_Click
Dim pnl As Panel = Sender
' If pnl.Tag...
Dim bd As BitmapDrawable
bd.Initialize(LoadBitmap( File.DirAssets ,"bback.png"))
pnl.Background =bd
End Sub

The Tag property can contain any type of data, as you can read in the documentations ;)

In my example, I entered:
B4X:
pnl(p).Tag = i & j

Since I used the "&" operator, the content of tags becomes a string (you can also insert an array!
B4X:
pnl(p).Tag = SomeArray(i, J)
)

You can get i or j using the function SubString2:
B4X:
Sub pnl_Click
Dim pnl As Panel = Sender
Dim i As Int = pnl.SubString2(0,1)
Dim j As Int = pnl.SubString2(1,2)
...

Sender is the object that triggered the event, in this case the panel that you have "clicked" (touched).

In your code in post #1,
pnl(p).Initialize("")
should be
pnl(p).Initialize("pnl")
if you want a sub named pnl_click to be called on a click event.

Look at Luca's code in post #2. It's all there.
BTW, I would store in TAG just the value of p (i and j combined) since, as I understand it, you're interested in the pth element of the array rater than its position in the grid.
