Android Question [Solved]B4XTable - can I set the background color on a row?

[RMarra]

Is there a way to either keep a selected row highlighted when the table loses focus, or set the background color on a row when the row is clicked? I want to pick a row in the table then be able go to another view but still see the row that was previously selected.

Yes. See the multiple rows selection example: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/102364
You can modify it to deselect all other rows each time a new row is selected.

I'm sorry, but I've been through that code over and over and the best I can do is set the color of the column heading. I need to be able to set each individual cell to a different color. Is the B4XTable not the right choice for this?

How is this related to the question you asked in the first post?

The "multiple rows selection" example demonstrates how to persist the selection and manage it yourself.

I guess I didn't make my purpose clear. I'll try to integrate the sample into my code (for the third time) and I'll start a new thread about it.

Thanks.

My problem was I was missing the "BuildLayoutsCache()". Without it, the table size kept saying "1" so I couldn't change anything except the column headings!

Tip: BuildLayoutsCache goes together with MaxRowsPerPage:

B4XTable1.MaximumRowsPerPage = 20
B4XTable1.BuildLayoutsCache(B4XTable1.MaximumRowsPerPage)
