hello lonelystar , i noticed that when u scroll , the image is loaded , do u mind to share some codes about doing that? i have lots of images i want to add to list , so instead of adding them directly using a loop wish becomes slow , it would fill the list and when the list is finished it will fill then the images hope u did understand my point , any suggestions are appreciated , tnx man keep forward :)

Hi MrJoey, I think I understand, but can U make an example in B4Android?.
B4X:
Sub ScrollView1_ScrollChanged(Position As Int)
'If Ind < (mapa.Size/9 )-1 Then
    If Position + ScrollView1.Height >= ScrollView1.Panel.Height Then
    If DateTime.Now > lastAddItemsTime + 1 Then
      lastAddItemsTime = DateTime.Now
    CallSub(Me,"ReadAudios")
    End If
  End If
'End If 
End Sub
this code loads additional items when the scrollview reaches a specific number of items so lets say there is 20 panels added to this scrollview and instead of making a loop to fill that 20 panels once , it add let say 10 and then when the user scrolls down it will add the other 10 , that way is very efficient and public , i think u are using this method in kind of ways , i would like u to share an idea of urs to display images instead , tnx :)

Hi, i im playing with this excellent library and would like to ask if is possible to get images direct from httputils2 using Job.GetBitmap.

I would like to fill coverflow with images from my url link of my server, not to save it to device.

So i have sucessfully used this:

B4X:
CoverFlow1.SetBackgroundImage(Job.GetBitmap)

but this sets last image retrieved from server, witch is what i expected.

So i need the code if is possible to add image to CoverFlow instead of saving it to device.

For example:

CoverFlow1.AddImageFromUrl(Job.GetBitmap)
