Android Question Tabstrip changing data values on layouts (SOLVED)

[Colin Evans]

I'm sure it's something obvious but I can't figure out where I'm going wrong,

I'm using the tabstrip to swipe between various layouts and I wish to load data from a JSON file, I've designed the layouts and loaded them

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
    Activity.LoadLayout("frmmain")
    TabStrip1.LoadLayout("ScrollView", "Intro")
    ScrollView1.Panel.Height = 600dip
    ScrollView1.Panel.LoadLayout("intro")
    TabStrip1.LoadLayout("ScrollView", "Day1")
    ScrollView1.Panel.Height = 1400dip
    ScrollView1.Panel.LoadLayout("day1")
    TabStrip1.LoadLayout("ScrollView", "Day2")
    ScrollView1.Panel.Height = 1400dip
    ScrollView1.Panel.LoadLayout("day2")
    TabStrip1.LoadLayout("ScrollView", "Day3")
    ScrollView1.Panel.Height = 1400dip
    ScrollView1.Panel.LoadLayout("day3")
    TabStrip1.LoadLayout("ScrollView", "Day4")
    ScrollView1.Panel.Height = 1400dip
    ScrollView1.Panel.LoadLayout("day4")
    TabStrip1.LoadLayout("ScrollView", "Day5")
    ScrollView1.Panel.Height = 1400dip
    ScrollView1.Panel.LoadLayout("day5")
    configtabstrip
End Sub

And I've loaded the JSON data but I can't find a way to populate the various days, a sample JSON

For i = 1 To 5
            Dim strI As String = i
            Dim d1 As Map = day.Get(strI)
            days(i) = d1.Get("date")
            rain(i) = d1.Get("rain")
            symbolV(i) = d1.Get("symbol_value")
            Dim sun As Map = d1.Get("sun")
            sunrise(i) = sun.Get("in")
            sunset(i) = sun.Get("out")
            tempmax(i) = d1.Get("tempmax")
Next

Does anyone have any idea they could pass my way to populate the various pages

I've tried the following from an example but it doesn't populate the layouts

Sub TabStrip1_PageSelected (Position As Int)
    Log("Page current is " & Position &".Please add any code to make something!!")
    lbl00Description.Text = symbolV(Position)
    lblDate.Text = days(Position)
    lblMTemp.Text = tempmax(Position)
    lblSrise.Text = sunrise(Position)
    lblSSet.Text = sunset(Position)
    lblMRise.Text = moonrise(Position)
    lblMSet.Text = moonset(Position)
End Sub

Appreciate some guidance, if it can be done, thanks

Still can't find a way to update the layouts as I swipe across the tabstrip but there must be a way as I've seen it used similarly in other applications, could someone help, please

 

[Colin Evans]

Is there any one that can help, I've amended the code that shows the tabstrip position to include some logs and it seems to be working but not displaying in the layouts

Sub TabStrip1_PageSelected (Position As Int)
    Log("Page current is " & Position )
    lblDescription.Text = symbolV(Position)
    Log(symbolDesc(Position))
    lblDate.Text = days(Position)
    Log(days(Position))
    lblMTemp.Text = tempmax(Position)
    Log(tempmax(Position))
    lblSrise.Text = sunrise(Position)
    Log(sunrise(Position))
    lblSSet.Text = sunset(Position)
    lblMRise.Text = moonrise(Position)
    lblMSet.Text = moonset(Position)
End Sub

results in the following

Page current is 1
Sunny intervals
20200827
17
06:14
Page current is 2
Cloudy
20200828
16
06:15
Page current is 3
Cloudy
20200829
15
06:17
Page current is 4
Sunny intervals

I've tried everything I can think of but getting nowhere, if it's not possible could someone please let me know and I'll think of another way of doing it, but I'm sure it is but I can't figure it out, any words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated, many thanks

The various label variables don't point to the views that you expect. They will point to the last views loaded with that name.

I always say and I'm mostly correct, that you should probably use xCLV instead of ScrollView.

It is hard to say anything concrete as too much information is missing.

 

[Colin Evans]

Thanks for the reply, am I better changing the variables to specific names for each layout

I presume there is no way to load the JSON data to each layout when it is shown

I found if I use the example for scrolling between layouts (Activity Touch) I can load start an activity linked to the day and then populate the layout but it just looks better with the tabstrip.

Hope that makes sense, frustrating when I've got the tabstrip working and I've got all the data I need from the JSON capture but can't then allocate to the specific days

Thanks again for the reply and I'll have a look at xCLV

 

[Colin Evans]

Hi Erel (sorry for being specific) I've attached a simple default menu system that is similar to the one I want to use in the previous example but I thought it may be easier for me to understand.

In the example I create an array and want to see if it is possible to update the lblTitle on each layout from the data created on the first activity

Sub setTitles
    Dim i As Int
    For i = 1 To 7 - 1
        lblText(i) = "This is Page " & i
    Next
End Sub

so when I swipe across the tabstrip is it possible to update the corresponding layout's lblTitle to contain the relevant 'This is Page ?'

Sub TabStrip1_PageSelected (Position As Int)
    Log("Page current is " & Position )
    If Position = 1 Then
        ' set the lbltitle.text on the relevant page to lbltext(position)
    End If
End Sub

Trying to understand if it is possible but can't figure it out, hope you can help, many thanks Colin

Attached your project modified.
Your layouts are a bit strange, I modified the first ones.
Views out of the screen width anchors ?

 

[Colin Evans]

Thank you very much, it's been doing my head in, I'm still not sure of the logic but I'll have a go at working the bits in I originally showed in post 1 but once again thank you greatly appreciated, and thanks for the layout, sorry about that just a rush job!
