Bug? Custom View

[LucaMs]

I am no more able to create custom views (more precisely, I would be able to do it, it's the IDE that does not love me ).

I create a new project, create an "empty" custom view class, try to add this custom view to a (first) new layout but the CV is not available.

Tried a few times, now a new CV named... CV works, I can add a CV Custom View to a layout

I don't understand what you did?
I just loaded your project and it works as expected!

Adding in the Designer:

Adding in the code:

 

[LucaMs]

I don't see the "sub menu" (the list of the CVs available) of "CustomView menu item.

 

[klaus]

Which "sub menu"?

I don't see the "sub menu" (the list of the CVs available) of "CustomView menu item.

Sorry for the bad quality, it depends on LICEcap or the speed of my PC.

I don't know what happens on your PC.
On mine, all what you show works OK !?

More info:

1) I tried to clean the project;
2) animated gif - I did what Klaus did: I downloaded my own project, I opened it and that's what I see

Found some very strange thing.

Created a new project; created a Custom view, named CV.

Right mouse button on CV in the Modules window, "File Explorer", my user folder was shown, with Documents folder selected.
Same action (right mouse...) on Main Activity, the project folder was opened.

Probably this does not affect (but I think is is wrong), since downloading my own project and "right mouse.... (see the previous post) the right folder is opened (but still I cannot add the CV).

Uninstalled and reinstalled B4A: same problem.

 

[LucaMs]

Updated .Net Framework (I don't know if I needed - forgot to check the version).
Uninstalled e reinstalled B4A; now the problem seems to be solved.

(I also changed the b4a folder name; I have always used names like: "B4A 6.0", "B4A 6.5"... "B4A 7.80" never gave me problems, except this one. Now the folder name is "B4A780").

 

[LucaMs]

No, it is not solved

It is a bug with a simple workaround: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/design-and-list-customview-b4a-7-80.88278/#post-558820

Hours of "work" and the workaround takes 1.13 seconds?

It is probably your computer that is old

No, I'm old, otherwise...

workaround takes 1.13 seconds

I would have "spent" 0.85 seconds
