Android Question Check for view being initialized but not added, "Layout not available"

[JohnK]

This seemed like such a common occurrence to me, I would of thought it would of been posted many many times before, but I searched and could not find an answer. So, I am really sorry, if it has (as I would of thought).

Normally, I can use code as bellow:

Sub MySub
    If RandomView <> Null AND RandomView.IsInitialized Then
       RandomView.BringToFront  
    End If
End Sub

The above will work UNLESS the "RandomView" has been initialized, but not added to a parent view.

Is there anyway to check this state without triggering an error?

If RandomView.IsInitialized AND RandomView.Parent <> Null Then

Thanks, and sorry, I thought I had tried that already.
=============
Yep. I think I must of. I am running v3.2, and it does not appear to be available in my version. The view I am trying it with is specifically a Panel.

For future reference for anyone else searching, It works as long as I check as below

Dim ParentView As View = Globals.getParent(RandomView)
If ParentView <> Null AND ParentView.IsInitialized Then
  ...

A simple NULL check failed.
