Hi, guys, getting closer to my first working app now!
Thanks to all the help on here, very much appreciated.
Basically my app contains no layouts.
The activity_create reads some data from a SQLlite database and populastes an array with details.
Then a tabview is added to the activity, and at the moment one tab is created.
I then call a sub to populate the tab page with firstly a scrollview, and then using a loop a number of of panels containing labels and images.
The code for filling thescrollview is as follows.
This codes work well, in that it works!
In the code above the imgFrame() is an imageview which loads a picture of a truck. This has an associated longclick event.
In the longclick, I basical perform some database functions, and then call the sub FillScrollViewTrucks routine again to redraw the entire scrollview, as positions of the trucks will have changed, and indeed, the asscoiated icon etc will have.
What I want to know is should this routine first delete the svTrucks scrollview to clear up?
The routine may be called every couplke of seconds, so just wondering what effect it would have on resources running as it does currently.
If anyone can offer a better way to code the above section I would be forever grateful.
UPDATE!!!
I have just clicked the imgFrame imageview 30 times in succession. I have noticed now that the scrollview is very slow to scroll, but restarting means it scrolls very fast again.
