The panels are generated in code and are to be added to the tabstripviewpager.

B4X:

TabStrip1.LoadLayout("Page1", "PAGE 1")

requires a layout created in designer, if i am not wrong. My layouts are panels created in code

yes. You can use layouts with just a panel. load the content to the panel afterwards.

If i use the panel as layout, the app crashes with an exception that file is not found, because it is looking for layout file.

B4X:

For i=0 To 10
        Dim pnlx As Panel
        pnlx.Initialize("")
        pnlx.Color=Colors.red
        TabStrip1.LoadLayout(pnlx,"") 'this causes the app to crash as it expects a layout file
    Next

You need to USE a erxisting layout file for sure!

Learn how it works! It is easy to later change the panels content. (In your loop).
The pooint is to understand how it works.

ok thanks.Seems its hard with tabstrip.

The idea is for the panels to each hold several buttons and then scroll through these panels horizontally. All these is done in code without layout file. For now i can use scrollview though in this case the scrolling is vertical
