Android Question Custom List View determine the correct panel

Hi all,

I have 2 CustomListViews with panels which are almost duplicates in the fact that they use the same controls and labels. Everything seems to be working ok except that i am having problems identifying from which panel a button is being pressed.

The code for the button press is simple
B4X:
Dim button As B4XView = Sender    
    Try
        Dim index As Int = clv1.GetItemFromView(Sender)
        Dim Pnl As B4XView = clv1.GetPanel(index)
    Catch
         Log(LastException)
        Dim index As Int = clv2.GetItemFromView(Sender)
        Dim Pnl As B4XView = clv2.GetPanel(index)
    End Try
    Dim lbl As B4XView = dd.GetViewByName(Pnl, "Total")

I can press either panel's button multiple times with no problem, then go to the next panel and press that but and all ok but if I then go to the first panel again I get a crash
1st line of error is this ' java.lang.ClassCastException: android.view.ViewRootImpl cannot be cast to android.view.View

After searching the forum I have come to the conclusion that it's because of multiple error catching at the catch try block, however I am unsure as to how I can identify the correct customListView (clv1 or clv2)

Other relevant code is as follows

B4X:
    Private clv1 As CustomListView
    Private clv2 As CustomListView
...

clv1.AsView.Tag = clv1
clv2.AsView.Tag = clv2

Does anyone have any idea how I might be able to identify from which panel the button is pressed so that I can access the correct customlistview

Many Thanks
 
Solution
Why not assign the CLV to the button's tag property:
B4X:
pnl.LoadLayout("ItemLayout")
dd.GetViewByName(Pnl, "Button1").Tag = CorrectCLV
This will allow you to easily find the correct one later.
Thank you Erel,

I played around with the tag property for ages and last night I eventually came up with something similar that works. I was going to post the solution and saw yours

B4X:
clv2.Add(CreateListItem("Test", clv2.AsView.Width, 50%y,2), "")

Sub CreateListItem(Text As String, Width As Int, Height As Int,Tag As Int) As B4XView
.
.
.
        dd.GetViewByName(p,"button1").Tag=Tag

Not as elegant as your code but it works
