Android Question Location of B4XView CreatePanel("")

[rodmcm]

Hi...

dialog.Title = "Add/Edit Step Data"
    Dim p As B4XView = xui.CreatePanel("")
    p.Left = 10dip
    p.Top  = 10dip
    p.SetLayoutAnimated(0, 0dip, 0dip, 700dip, 200dip)
    p.LoadLayout("StepDialog")
    Wait For (dialog.ShowCustom(p, "OK", "", "CANCEL")) Complete (Result As Int)

The panel always centers on my display
p.left, p.top changes nothing.
SetLayoutAnimated length and width operate.

How do I put p where I want it on the screen?

Why don't you use the Layout Designer to position the views inside the panel?

If you are looking for a way to position the dialog then take a look at message #4 from @LucaMs in this thread:
position dialog on screen

I do not see any AddView.
You must add the new created Panel onto a parent view.
