Android Question Making Customview as a parent

[azzam223]

hello Can I make custom view as parent like panel So I can Add views to it in designer

No. You can't do it. However, you can load a layout at runtime to customview.

Load the layout into the mBase Panel variable.

thanks steve but How Can I Know the target layout I want when Add controls to the designer I can put it in my custom view

 

[stevel05]

A custom view would normally only have one layout so you would do it the same as loading any other layout:

mBase.LoadLayout("LayoutName")

I think you are suggesting that you want to load different layouts into the same custom view dependant on some user interaction. If that is the case, I wouldn't, as it will mean handling the events from views from multiple layouts in one class. I would create multiple custom views, then load and remove those from a panel or create a new activity for each, It really depends on what you are trying to achieve.

Note that you can't load a layout from DesignerCreateView directly. You can add Sleep(0) before calling LoadLayout and it will work.

thanks erel this mean that IF I want To add views to my custom I must put it in another layout then load this layout or load the same layout that my custom view in it

is any way to add it in designer instead of load it in run time

I'm not sure that I understand the question. Example of custom view that loads a layout: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/27548/#content

I mean I want my custom view like panel So when i add view I can put the view in my custom view like panel through parent property

It is not possible. Provide a LoadLayout method instead.
