Android Question [SOLVED] What about the order of object creation?

[Jerryk]

On the page, I load a layout with some visual objects. Then I dynamically create and add the panel. But the panel don't covers the objects from the layout. BringToFront won't help. How to overlay layout?

Private Sub B4XPage_Created (Root1 As B4XView)
    Root = Root1
    Root.LoadLayout("MainPage")
    Cover
End Sub

Private Sub Cover
    pOverlay = xui.CreatePanel("")
    pOverlay.SetColorAndBorder(xui.Color_Green, 1%x, xui.Color_Black, 0)
    Root.AddView(pOverlay, 0, 0, 100%x, 50%y)
    pOverlay.BringToFront 'not work
End Sub

pOverlay.As(Panel).Elevation = 5dip

Increase the 5dip if not enough.

Not knowing the rest of your code but you should probably modify

pOverlay = xui.CreatePanel("")

in

Dim pOverlay as B4XView = xui.CreatePanel("")

You could also add the covering panel directly in the layout, and making it visible or not when needed.
But not knowing your exact need I am just guessing.

I declared Dim pOverlay as B4XView in Class_Globals. On your way result is the same. Panel not cover layout.

If possible attach the project or an example with the same problem to work on.
