Android Question Monospace Bold Font in ListView Label

[philster]

Hi

May be a silly question....

If I add a label in the designer with MONOSPACE font and change the style to BOLD, it displays without a problem. However, if I change the label properties of a ListView in the code to the same, then it does not display in bold.

e.g.

    Dim lblPlace As Label
   
    lblPlace = lvPlaces.SingleLineLayout.Label
    lblPlace.Color = signColour
    lblPlace.TextSize = 22
    lblPlace.Typeface = Typeface.CreateNew(Typeface.MONOSPACE, Typeface.STYLE_BOLD)
    lblPlace.TextColor = Colors.White

If I change the font to SAN_SERIF it works. Is it just a quirk with MONOSPACE on ListView labels or possibly because I'm using an old version of B4A (2.52)?

Just thought I'd ask - I could create a custom ListView but is overkill for what I need.

How are you changing the ListView SingleLineLayout.Label properties ?

this works ..

lvPlaces.SingleLineLayout.Label.Color = signColour
lvPlaces.SingleLineLayout.Label.Typeface = Typeface.MONOSPACE
lvPlaces.SingleLineLayout.Label.Typeface = Typeface.DEFAULT_BOLD
lvPlaces.SingleLineLayout.Label.TextSize = 22
lvPlaces.SingleLineLayout.Label.TextColor = Colors.White

Hi

Thanks for the reply. I'll give it a try at some point but doesn't that override the typeface with the "default" font emboldened rather than the monospace?

I was just trying to use the fixed width font to display two values neatly side by side (but separated) in a ListView - the bold monospace font looked nicer. After some messing around I managed to get the two values horizontally using a TwoLinesLayout, which is even neater, so I'm just using the default bold typeface.

Cheers

Setting the typeface twice will just overwrite the first assignment.

Are you changing the label typeface before you add items?
