Android Question Using item name instead of the index number

rleiman · Dec 21, 2013

Hi Everyone,

I have seen coding like this:

B4X:

Activity.RemoveViewAt(3)

Is there a way to do something like this:

B4X:

Activity.RemoveViewAt(ReturnIndexNumber("MyView"))

It would make the coding easier to read if I can use a view name instead of a number.

Sorry I didn't come here to disappoint you, but I don't know.
You can go around Cape Town though..
Assign a name to each index number as integer

B4X:

DIM MyView as integer
MyView = 3
Activity.RemoveViewAt(MyView)

Note: take away the string quotations from "MyView" since it is Integer variable.

Hope that works for you

The simplest solution will be to call MyView.RemoveView. This call removes the view from its parent.
