Android Question [XUI] Labels with gravity?

[wimpie3]

Hi there,

I want to create cross platform labels programmatically. The problem is that as soon as I try to use the Gravity property, this doesn't seem to work (Gravity is not a property of B4Xview).

So how can I create cross platform label which supports gravity?

Cast the b4xview to the native view (label) and use Gravity there.

dim lbl as Label = myb4xviewlabel
lbl.Gravity = ...

I suppose it could also be done like this?

myb4xviewlabel.As(Label).Gravity = ...

I would use B4XViews with SetTextAlignment which is cross-platform.

From the inline help.

@klaus that sounds like the best solution. How should I dim this label? Simply

Dim label as B4XView

right?

Yes B4XView, as I said in my post.

Unfortunately this doesn't seem to work correctly for b4i ("the vertical alignment has no effect" according to the popup help)

I am afraid that this is an iOS limitation.
