Android Question Is this a bug or I forgot the most basic command ?

Long time not touching B4A.

I just want to create a panel and loadlayout to it . Very simple, right ?

customview class:

'Custom View class
#Event: ExampleEvent (Value As Int)
#DesignerProperty: Key: BooleanExample, DisplayName: Boolean Example, FieldType: Boolean, DefaultValue: True, Description: Example of a boolean property.
#DesignerProperty: Key: IntExample, DisplayName: Int Example, FieldType: Int, DefaultValue: 10, MinRange: 0, MaxRange: 100, Description: Note that MinRange and MaxRange are optional.
#DesignerProperty: Key: StringWithListExample, DisplayName: String With List, FieldType: String, DefaultValue: Sunday, List: Sunday|Monday|Tuesday|Wednesday|Thursday|Friday|Saturday
#DesignerProperty: Key: StringExample, DisplayName: String Example, FieldType: String, DefaultValue: Text
#DesignerProperty: Key: ColorExample, DisplayName: Color Example, FieldType: Color, DefaultValue: 0xFFCFDCDC, Description: You can use the built-in color picker to find the color values.
#DesignerProperty: Key: DefaultColorExample, DisplayName: Default Color Example, FieldType: Color, DefaultValue: Null, Description: Setting the default value to Null means that a nullable field will be displayed.
Sub Class_Globals
    Private mEventName As String 'ignore
    Private mCallBack As Object 'ignore
    Private mBase As Panel
    Private Const DefaultColorConstant As Int = -984833 'ignore
    
    Private sp As ScrollView
    Private spkvarpanel As Panel
    Private airvarpanel As Panel
End Sub

Public Sub Initialize (Callback As Object, EventName As String)
    mEventName = EventName
    mCallBack = Callback
    
    sp.Initialize(1000dip)
    spkvarpanel.Initialize("spkvarpanel")
    spkvarpanel.LoadLayout("newlayout")
    airvarpanel.Initialize("airvarpanel")
    Log("VarPanel initialized")
End Sub

Public Sub DesignerCreateView (Base As Panel, Lbl As Label, Props As Map)
    mBase = Base
    mBase.AddView(sp,2dip, 2dip, mBase.Width-4dip, mBase.Height-4dip)
    
    Log("Varpanel DesignerCreateView")
End Sub

Public Sub GetBase As Panel
    Return mBase
End Sub

Layout file "newlayout" is completely empty layout, but an exist .bal file

But I am getting this exception :

Scrollview, layouts and getting current selected

Hi, I like the scrollview so much that i want to use it to replace my Listviews, simply because it is much more flexible. What I want to do it taking one layout file and load that one into a scrollview multiple times. However, I have some practical problems solving my wishes. - how...

~~You haven't initialized the panels and scrollview. Because they are not declared in the designer you need to initialize them yourself.~~
Sorry. Forget this rubbish. I obviously haven't woken up properly and my morning tea fix hasn't kicked in properly yet.

I recommend you to use the Custom View (XUI) template. It is better.

This error means that a global view variable has the wrong type. If you can't find it then please upload the project.

well actually, the code i posted here, is a 2 times downgrade.
first time, I use B4XPages (newest), then found this error .
confused, I downgrade my codes to XUI Custom View, but still same error
furiously , I downgrade my codes again to become old stype Custom View (this code), yet still error the same

You cannot load a layout while another layout is being loaded.

If you want to load a layout in a custom view then it needs to be done like this:

B4X:

Public Sub DesignerCreateView (Base As Panel, Lbl As Label, Props As Map)
    mBase = Base
    mBase.AddView(sp,2dip, 2dip, mBase.Width-4dip, mBase.Height-4dip)
    
    Sleep(0)
     'you can load a layout here
End Sub

I can confirm this work. Thanks Erel !
