Android Question View.Parent read-only

[LucaMs]

Mainly a "wish".

View.Parent is read-only; can Anywhere Software set it as writable too?

I'm "searching" "the" best way to share B4XViews between B4XPages. The ideal (just one line) would be:

' my second B4XPage
B4XPages.MainPage.MyView.Parent = Root

You are posting this wish in the wrong forum.

You can not change a Parent of a View. You need to remove the view from its parent and add it to the new parent.
Erel has posted an Example somewhere.

I know:

Mainly a "wish".

You can not change a Parent of a View.

I know this too and the reason is because Parent is read-only.

modViewsUtils - code module:

Public Sub MoveB4XView(xView As B4XView, Destination As B4XView)
    xView.RemoveViewFromParent
    Destination.AddView(xView, xView.Left, xView.Top, xView.Width, xView.Height)
End Sub

Public Sub MoveB4XView2(xView As B4XView, Destination As B4XView, Left As Int, Top As Int, Width As Int, Height As Int)
    xView.RemoveViewFromParent
    Destination.AddView(xView, Left, Top, Width, Height)
End Sub

But those routines aren't ideal, though.

Example:
MyPage2

Private Sub B4XPage_Created (Root1 As B4XView)
    Root = Root1
    Root.LoadLayout("layTwo")
    modViewsUtils.MoveB4XView(B4XPages.MainPage.pnlBottom, Root)
End Sub

If then I need to move pnlBottom to MyPage3 I need to know that it is now in MyPag2.

So the question is:

View.Parent is read-only; can Anywhere Software set it as writable too?

However, this was more a curiosity than a question or "wish", which came to my mind when replying to an Italian member. If I want to use the same View, even a complex one, I create a Custom View.

No. This is how Android works. Anywheresoftware can not change Android-Rules.
