I need some assistance to understand the initialization process, as it seems I have misunderstood the process between a Layout and the main program code.
To make a long story short, I have rewritten a program to use .loadlayout method as opposed to incorporating a dozen panels that go invisible and visible when required. It works all right to a degree. As I was rebuilding the app though,, each time I tried to make reference to a (for example as I cannot get past this...) an edittext view (txtName), the app crashes due to a "txtName not initialized" error. If I initialize the view, txtName.initialize("txtName"), prior to setting the text value, it works, BUT, I then get a warning, saying that the txtName was created using the designer so I should not initialize it. But if I don't initialize it, it doesn't work, so what I have now is an initialization line prior to assigning the text property. Is that the correct way? It adds about 50 lines of code (so far)
What am I missing??
cheers
