B4J Question (Solved)[B4XDialog] B4XColorTemplate Background Color

[aeric]

I have tried many ways without success to change the background color for B4XColorTemplate. It remains in dark color.

Found a solution.

CustomListView1.sv.SetColorAndBorder(xui.Color_LightGray, 0, 0, 0)
CustomListView1.sv.ScrollViewInnerPanel.Color = xui.Color_Transparent

If you had not posted your solution post, I would never have guessed it was a customListView you were talking about...
I know, sometimes we are way too eager to get a solution, that we kind of forget to give the relevant details...

More precisely, the B4XDialog is part of XUI Views and using a custom dialog and template with lazy loading. So I found it is not easy or straight forward to deal with. Furthermore, I am implementing dark and light theme to the child views. I need to find the right B4XView or panel and check if it is already initialized.

Yeah, I did a little search after my answer to your post...
This is one of the make "issues" that needs to be account for when creating custom view... Customisation can be.... challenging!

when creating custom view...

I think I am not creating a custom view. I was just modifying/customizing the properties of a B4xDialog. Since I am not very familiar with XUI View, I didn't know the view that I was looking for is actually name CustomListView1. There are many layers in XUI View like in an onion. I need to peel off the layers one by one.

[B4X] XUI Views - Cross platform views and dialogs

XUI Views is a b4x library (https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/100383/#content). The same b4xlib library is compatible with B4A, B4i and B4J It is a collection of custom views and dialogs. Everything is written in B4X. The source code is included inside the b4xlib file, which is a zip...

If I understand correctly, the B4X Views are "in facto" custom views.
Therefore, you are not creating a CustomView but trying to customize one you didn't create, and therefore do not know exactly what are the "Base" views that it integrates
