Android Question image indexing?

[DaOne]

I am trying to use an image that is basically a bunch of images stuck together of exactly the same size. I want it to show only the part and hide the rest. Then change its index (whats displayed) based on an input value . I know this method is quite common but I am not sure what its called. Is there a way to do this in B4A? I included an image of what I am describing. I want it to display an individual number based on the input. Not the whole image.

Check this digital-clock-example. It uses a special ttf-font to display. You could do the same principle to display the number you need. But without need for Images. Otherwise you need to draw your image on an canvas and then copy the part you need on a new canvas and save this canvas as new image. A lot of work, much more memory-usage...

I know there has to be a way as I see this done on just about every program that is graphical. The image I showed was just an example. I am wanting to do it as an information display that is very graphical. Here s a better example.

Maybe you are searching for this lib...

That's it I think. Thank you a bunch. Searching for this stuff is hard sometimes when you not 100% sure what to call it. Thanks again.

You should be able to use SrcRect to show only the part of the image you want to see. Just use index*WidthOfCell to find where the image begins.

James that is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you.
