It is good to add cross platform controls that do not exist as native controls.
It is a mistake to wrap existing native views. It only makes things more complicated.

It all depends on what your goals are. A top goal of mine is to minimize code differences across platforms. I *think* one of your primary goals is to remain true to the underlying native system (correct me if I'm wrong). I was personally pleased to find this library and that SD had wrapped the native panels and labels. I personally find it to be a weakness of b4x that some methods and UI types are different between b4a, b4i, and especially b4j. Like with b4j, you have Panes instead of Panels. In b4i, you have RemoveViewFromParent as a view method as opposed to RemoveView in b4a. I'm not sure I understand the philosophy behind those choices. I'm sure you have a reason, because you are a masterful developer. I just love the idea of consistency across platforms and efficiency in the development process.

I would like it if you could add a method to your XUI Views similar to SD's AddToParent method, which would allow programmatic view creation.

The B4XPanel and Labels makes me consider porting some apps to b4j. It is nice to have a consistent set of methods and types across platforms. It is also nice to be able to programmatically add views (not as a primary UI method, but there are times when it is needed).

I get an error trying to use this library in b4i while using Erel's XUI Views library.

All the inconsistencies you described are solved with XUI library. You need to learn how to work with B4XView. You don't need any other wrapper.
I will write it again as it keeps confusing developers:
All the inconsistencies you described are solved with XUI library. You need to learn how to work with B4XView.
More information here: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/b4x-xui-cross-platform-native-ui-library.84359/#content

BTW, it is trivial to work with B4XView and you don't lose anything as you can switch back and forth between the native type and B4XView. In fact it is simpler to work with B4XViews and B4XView includes methods that are not available in the native types.

Remove that comment: "<--- manually...

(O.T., I know, but I don't think I should open a new thread just for this suggestion ?)

New Update 0.08 - FIX BUG

Now it won't conflict with XUI View, I changed the name of the B4XSeekBar object with B4XSeek_Bar.

Note: B4XSeek_Bar is not wrapping a corresponding in XUI Views

Is it posible enable/disable B4XRadioButton by code?
B4XRadiobutton1.Enabled=False
or
B4XRadiobutton1.GetBase.Enabled=False

Is it possible to change the color by disabling? like this or something similar:
B4X:
    If CheckBox1.Checked Then
        B4XRadioButton1.Enable = True
        B4XRadioButton1.TextColor = Colors.Black
    Else
        B4XRadioButton1.Enable = False
        B4XRadioButton1.TextColor = Colors.LightGray
    End If
