Android Question CLV with floating titles: Trying to get index of clicked title item

[toby]

My test app is based on the following example:

[XUI] CustomListView with floating titles

Title items are added to the list. A Panel is set above the list. The panel shows the current title when the top visible item is not a title item. It works by checking for the top item type. If it is a title item then the panel is hidden, otherwise the panel is shown with the current title...

What I'm trying to achieve: When a title item is clicked, I want to get the title item index . For example, if I click title item "Title #BBB", I want to find out its index which is 11.

I added the following code to get the index of the clicked title item, which works most of the time.

Sub lblTitle_Click
    Dim index As Int = CLV1.GetItemFromView(Sender)
    LogColor("clicked title item index=" & index, Colors.Green)
End Sub

When the first title, Ttitle #AAA, is clicked, the app crashes. Below is the log

entering lblTitle_Click
Error occurred on line: 420 (CustomListView)

Test app attached. I don't know how to fix the error. Any helps would be appreciated greatly.

Remove CustomListView module and add the xCustomListView library: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/xui-customlistview-with-floating-titles.87935/#post-556398

You cannot use GetItemFromView as the panel is not part of CLV.

Sub pnlTitle_Click
    Dim title As String = pnlTitle.GetView(0).Text
    Log(title)
End Sub

I downloaded the updated example and added the given pnlTitle_Click() event code. Below are my test results:
1. Clicking "Title #AAA" always works, which is very good.
2. When two or more title items are shown, only the top one has effect.

I would like to know which of any visible titles is clicked, whether or not they're at the top position.

You need to handle the CLV_ItemClick event for the non-floating titles.

It's only the floating titles I'm having problems with. I need to know which floating title has been clicked.

I've found a way to deal with the issue. Inside the CLV_ItemClick event, I look for title items as shown below.

    If CLV1.GetValue(Index) Is TitleData Then
        Dim td As TitleData = CLV1.GetValue(Index)
        'pnlTitle.GetView(0).Text = td.Title
        LogColor("td.title=" & td.Title, Colors.Green)
    Else
        LogColor("CLV1.GetValue(index)=" & CLV1.GetValue(Index) , Colors.Green)
    End If

That means I have to handle first floating title differently from the rest of them. Am I doing it correctly or there is a better way?

Looks correct. Note that Value is passed as a parameter to ItemClick.
