Android Question Database/Loading Panels words become muddled.

[brianwiz12]

Hello,

So i have the following attached. This problem i thought was solved but for some reason has reared its ugly head again.

Click on Button 2. Then load episode 2. then go back to episode 1

The radio buttons are not clearing themselves. They are loaded for each panel.

I did try pnle2.removeallviews(Erel had it in another thread). It did not work for the radio button answer issue. You can see by going from 1 to 2 back to 1 click nexting it will be all muddled

I did have a look , but unfortunately cannot identify where the issue occurs. (would have liked to spend more time looking ...)

But I do believe you could fix the problem and reduce your code dramatically (and more easier to debug) by using a single episodes Panel , (pnle 1-10),
loading and answering the questions with the same panel.

Hope your able to resolve the problem.

Thank you will look into that. Toying around with it.

Appreciate you looking at the project.

Just Having another look , I think your problem lies in initializing / adding the radio buttons to the panels in the episode(1-10)_click subs.

Sub episode1_click

   '........................................
    rbtAnswer1(0).Initialize("rbtAnswer1")
    rbtAnswer1(0).Tag = 0
    rbtAnswer1(0).TextColor = Colors.Blue
    pnle1.AddView(rbtAnswer1(0), 10dip, 60dip, 450dip, 75dip)
    rbtAnswer1(1).Initialize("rbtAnswer1")
    rbtAnswer1(1).Tag = 1
    rbtAnswer1(1).TextColor = Colors.Blue
    pnle1.AddView(rbtAnswer1(1), 10dip, 120dip, 450dip, 75dip)
    rbtAnswer1(2).Initialize("rbtAnswer1")
    rbtAnswer1(2).Tag = 2
    rbtAnswer1(2).TextColor = Colors.Blue
    pnle1.AddView(rbtAnswer1(2), 10dip, 180dip, 450dip, 75dip)
    '.......... more code

These episode?_click subs are being called from Sub spnewsrooms1_ItemClick

Each time you choose an episode from the spinner the radio buttons are re-added to the panel. If You do NOT press Next Button then choose another Episode, then return to original episode the RadioButtons just get brighter ... Pressing the Next Button then following this scenario , thats when you see Muddled Answers (2 Answers on top of each other)

Your solution is to load the radio buttons to all panels once only in Activity Create (or a called sub) ... (not in a sub that can be repeatedly called)

Or.. add the radio buttons to panels in the Designer (you have added the other views there)

Also , just to repeat , you do have a lot of duplicated code that could be removed by playing with a single Panel / views. (I'm sure it can be done).

(Even the above snippet could be reduced using a loop.... the only real variance is the .Top value = a calculation , and the .Tag = counter value)

Had some time free and was intrigued to see if there was a way to solve your problem while reducing layouts and certainly code.

Note ... It is only a Barebones Demo which shows another method to present ALL Trivia Questions using a Single Panel , therefore also reducing duplicated code.

At the very Least , it might give you ideas or different approach's that will help with your project

I have Not addressed aesthetics, scaling etc and certainly you will want some extra checks / balances etc

Thank you for this. I appreciate you playing around with it.
