Android Question View Name as Variable

[mackrackit]

Hi,
I have a button click that runs a SUB to create multiple labels. I can give each label a different text value, but I want each label to have a different name with the hopes of writing the data to a file at some point.

This is a snippet of what I have been trying.

SherdNum = SherdNum + 1
    
Dim xyz As String
xyz = "lbl_Sherd_" & SherdNum
    
Dim xyz As Label

this tutorial will help you https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/tick-tack-toe-working-with-arrays-of-views.8506/#post47508

one solution is to create the labels with different tags, not with different name, then you can retrieve the data separately

as ronell wrote you should store the naming into the view's tag.

SherdNum = SherdNum + 1
  
Dim xyz As Label
xyz.initialize("lbl")
xyz.tag="lbl_Sherd_" & SherdNum
xyz.text="text "& SherdNum

then you can use the tag for identification

sub lbl_Click
 dim l as label=sender
 log(l.tag & tab & l.text)
end sub

Thanks to both of you!

Using the tag makes sense. I will give it a try.
