Android Question Puzzling... me

Hi guys

Continuing my quest to get AnyView.Parent and use it to set as the parent of another view I came to these lines of code...

  Private JPanel = DPanel As JavaObject 'DPanel is a Panel, JPanel is the JObj linked to it
   Private jParent = byParent As JavaObject 'byParent is the view passed in the class initializer, JParent is its JObj
 
   JPanel.RunMethod("setParent",jParent.RunMethod("getParent",Null))

wich doesn't work...

I am trying to set a views Parent to be another's view Parent

if needed i can provide the debug stack

Ok, so what is your views added like:
Activity -> Panel1 -> Button1 ?
I need to know the order in which they are added.

Or if you could upload a barebones sample to demonstrate the issue it would be better.

this is as Bare as a Bone can be...

The Button's Parent is main activity... BUT I may need to call my class from a view who has a Panel as Parent... or an Activity... this is to be a Custom Dialog for an App I'm re-starting... so it will be called a bunch of times, and each time the Parent may be not directly known...
I could live with seperate initializers, as I will know if Parent is a Panel or an Activity..

I think its a question for @Erel why once cast the panel doesnt log the layout.

But anyway your code works.
Just add:
DPanel.Color=colors.White
to see the result.

Thanks for all your time... I never thought that the panel was being created the same color as the activity..
I can live with the not logging part...LoL
