Android Question [Solved] [B4X] XUI Views assistance required: "Dialog.ShowCustom(..."

[fredo]

In a certain project, all "outdated" CustomLayoutDialogs are to be converted to "[B4X] XUI Views".

After looking at some examples the creation of a custom dialog is basically no problem.

Nevertheless, I still don't seem to do everything right, because the following display errors occur in the enclosed example project:

1.) At the first call of the dialog the "B4XFloatTextField" is not displayed, at the second call it is.

2.) The height of the "B4XFloatTextField" is not displayed as intended.​

Spoiler: The code

#Region  Project Attributes
    #ApplicationLabel: B4A Example
    #VersionCode: 1
    #VersionName:
    'SupportedOrientations possible values: unspecified, landscape or portrait.
    #SupportedOrientations: unspecified
    #CanInstallToExternalStorage: False
#End Region

#Region  Activity Attributes
    #FullScreen: true
    #IncludeTitle: false   
#End Region

Sub Process_Globals
End Sub

    Private Base As B4XView
    Private xuiDialog As B4XDialog
    Private xuiDialogPanel2 As B4XView
    
    Private B4XFloatTextField1 As B4XFloatTextField
    
End Sub

What am I doing wrong?

Why aren't you using B4XInputTemplate? It will be easier than creating a custom dialog.

1. No reason for XuiInits to be a resumable sub.
2. Don't ignore this very important warning:
Panel size is unknown. Layout may not be loaded correctly.

Load the layout after you call xuiDialogPanel2.SetLayoutAnimated.

Why aren't you using B4XInputTemplate?

The layout used here should be as simple as possible for getting started with ShowCustom() before using more complex layouts.​

No reason for XuiInits to be a resumable sub.

This is a leftover from several awkward sleep() attempts.​

Don't ignore this very important warning:
Panel size is unknown. Layout may not be loaded correctly.

That's for sure. Age-related temporary technician arrogance to harmless looking hints often leads unnecessarily to time-consuming loss of productivity.​

Load the layout after you call xuiDialogPanel2.SetLayoutAnimated

That was it. Thank you.​
