@Johan Schoeman:
It never ceases to amaze me how you take something so complex and turn into simple gold. You are extremely generous with your time and your expertise. Since you never ask for monetary donations, let us bombard you with 'Like' which is priceless.

Hi, Johan.

I tried your library.

Using a simple layout (just one view, centered by scripts) I get an error (a)
java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException
at anywheresoftware.b4a.keywords.LayoutBuilder.loadLayout(LayoutBuilder.java:166)
at anywheresoftware.b4a.objects.ActivityWrapper.LoadLayout(ActivityWrapper.java:208)


Another error if I don't use layouts but I add the view by code (b)
android.content.res.Resources$NotFoundException: Resource ID #0x0
at android.content.res.Resources.getValue(Resources.java:1161)
at android.content.res.Resources.getDrawable(Resources.java:699)
at main.java.com.romainpiel.titanic.library.TitanicTextView.createShader(TitanicTextView.java:140)


Thank you

Thank you

Check project in post #1. There is a file called "wave.png" in the /Objects/drawable folder that are missing from both your (a) and (b) postings above. This file needs to be in the drawable folder and set to READ ONLY
