Android Question [B4XPages] Is it possible to view the same Google Map at two pages?

[vfafou]

Hello!
I would like to ask if it's possible to view the same Google Map to two pages!
I mean I want to initialize one map instance, show it for example to the MainPage and when I show another page, the same map is appeared without reinitialisation needed!
Thank you in advance!

So you can move the WebView from one B4XPage to another one.

Hello Luca!
Thank you for your response!
I have read the B4XPages benefits!
I'm talking about mapFragment view and I can't figure out how to move it to another Page! ?

How about putting the mapfragment on a panel and moving the panel.

mappnl.removeviewfromparent
newparent.addview(mappnl,x,y,w,h)

Indeed; I've never used mapFragment, which requires various things in the manifest, I think (and I'm starting to use B4XPages right now) and tried to move a WebView.

In the B4XMainPage I have:

Sub btnPage2_Click
    Dim P2 As Page2
    P2.Initialize
    B4XPages.AddPageAndCreate("Page2", P2)
    WebView1.RemoveViewFromParent
    P2.PassView(WebView1)
    B4XPages.ShowPage("Page2")
End Sub

' Page2

Public Sub PassView(Vw As B4XView)
    Root.AddView(Vw, Vw.Left, Vw.Top, Vw.Width, Vw.Height)
End Sub

and it works (I don't know if there is a better way to do it).

(I don't know if there is a better way to do it).

Surely it is better to:

1 - declare P2 in the Class_Globals of B4XMainPage, initialize and add it to B4XPages in B4XPage_Created instead of inside the btnPage2_Click event routine (if you press it more then once the app doesn't crash, you just get a log with a warning that the page is already added to B4XPages but doing so it is more correct);
2 - I was going to write that it would have been better to put the view addition in a Try-Catch block to avoid adding the same View multiple times to Page2 but... then I tried and no exception is raised in case the View exists already (in this case the log shows always 2)! Great!

Public Sub PassView(Vw As B4XView)
'    Try
        Root.AddView(Vw, Vw.Left, Vw.Top, Vw.Width, Vw.Height)
'    Catch
'        Log(LastException)
'    End Try 'ignore
Log(Root.NumberOfViews)
End Sub
