Android Question B4XPage and Main activity

[Dey]

Hello to all
I am converting an android app from activity to B4XPage
in the main main module I load a layout with a width like the screen and a height of 25dip, I use it as a bar with functions for all the B4XPages, these are lower than 25dip so as to never cover the main bar.
It seems to be working correctly,
I have seen in other threads that it is discouraged, NEVER ADD CODE TO THE MAIN ACTIVITY. https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/b4xpages-activity_create.135268/#post-855637
What can cause this solution?
Thank you

"Never" is a bit of an exaggeration. I do see many cases where developers misuse B4XPages and add unnecessary code to the main module.

If you are building a non-cross platform solution then adding layout, as you wrote, sounds valid.
I would have done it differently and implement the bar in a class, and create a class instance in each of the pages. This will be cross platform, and in the long run, will also be easier to maintain.

Thanks for the prompt reply,
the previous solution used this system with a class, when I switched to another activity I noticed a flickering not nice

In that case, your solution is better.
