Android Question How to Get CustomView Instance from Sender?

[Mashiane]

Hi there

How can I return a custom view instance, as an example, in the CustomListView example I want to get the customlistview instance and assign it to some variable of same type.

1. Let's assume you have 3 customlistviews in your layout.
2. In each customlistview you load different layouts, lets assume one has a button that you can click
3. How do you, from the clicked button get the customlistview instance that houses the button?

Currently from the customlistview you can can an index from the sender view, then the panel using that index, how can you get the instance of the listview and assign it to a variable of similar type?

Thanks

It depends on the specific event.

For a button click, the simplest way is to store a reference to the CLV in the button's tag property. You can then get it back with:

Dim b As Button = Sender
Dim clv As CustomListView = b.Tag
