Android Question [Solved] [B4X] PrefDialog Multiline EditText properties

[fredo]

Is it possible to hide or move the icons "del" and "check" in a multiline edit text?

    Wait For (PrefDialog.ShowDialog(item, "OK", "CANCEL")) Complete (Result As Int)
    If Result = xui.DialogResponse_Positive Then
        Log("#-  x41, item = " & item)

You can hide these buttons with this code:

Dim sf As Object = p.ShowDialog(d, "OK", "CANCEL")
For i = 0 To p.PrefItems.Size - 1
   Dim pi As B4XPrefItem = p.PrefItems.Get(i)
   If pi.ItemType = p.TYPE_MULTILINETEXT Then
       Dim ft As B4XFloatTextField = p.CustomListView1.GetPanel(i).GetView(0).Tag
       ft.lblClear.Left = -100dip
       ft.lblV.Left = -100dip
   End If
Next
Wait For (sf) Complete (Result As Int)

You can hide these buttons ...

Thanks for the smart approach.

The changes are apparently accepted by the labels (see logpoints x54 and x58) but in the display they remain in the old state (1).

I think the affected item on the pref-CLV needs to be renewed. But how?

In B4A it works as expected.

Since I currently only need the B4A solution, the case is closed.

Thanks for the solution, which also inspires to other variants.
