Android Question [Solved] Crash in B4A 10.7, xml.LoadCmlLayout

[mw71]

hi,

download B4A 10.7, Compile with no change of (relevante) Code.
Compile, Install, Crash

the Crash is in this, line 2:

    Dim xml As XmlLayoutBuilder
    xml.LoadXmlLayout(Panel_chk_gps, "checkbox")
    chk_always_on= xml.GetView("chk1")

i have add this (very) long time bevore to have a Checkbox with special Text Aligment.
It Works in previous Versions fine.

- the XML File ist locate in Objects/res/layout (i hope thats rigth)
- inside:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<CheckBox xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
  android:id="@+id/chk1"

  android:layout_width="85dip"
  android:layout_height="55dip"
  android:button="@null"
android:drawableRight="?android:attr/listChoiceIndicatorMultiple"

  android:tag="chk1" />

Spoiler: Error Log

Attach a Test Project.

The Text is at the left side from the Checkbox.

Crashes in an Identical manner as your Test Project, so the fault doesn't seem to be just yours.

I didn't get any error with that example. Start a new thread for further discussion.


About the OP error:
1. Delete the read-only file. This is the wrong way to create resources.
2. The error happens because android resource files are expected to have an xml extension.
3. Add to manifest editor:

CreateResource(layout, checkbox.xml,
<CheckBox xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
  android:id="@+id/chk1"

  android:layout_width="85dip"
  android:layout_height="55dip"
  android:button="@null"
android:drawableRight="?android:attr/listChoiceIndicatorMultiple"

  android:tag="chk1" />)

Hi Erel,

i have Check, in original (project) it's in the manifest and in the recources
delete rec file, test, crash

With the TestProject (Post #2), Compile with B4A10.7, crash, with B4A 10.5 (other PC) work
-> delete Recource File and add to Manifest
Test, crashs -> look agan, forgot ".xml" in the manifest, now TestProject work.

Correct (add .xml) in the org. Project, work

i have Copy/Paste this solution a long time ago. Until B4A 10.6 it works, with 10.7 not, thats was the problem for me.
