i tried to use a panel as canvas to draw something on it, but the try anytime is failing. What am i doing wrong, or is it impossible to use a panel as canvas.
B4X:
Sub Process_Globals
'These global variables will be declared once when the application starts.
'These variables can be accessed from all modules.
End Sub
Sub Globals
'These global variables will be redeclared each time the activity is created.
'These variables can only be accessed from this module.
Dim Panel1 As Panel
Dim c As Canvas
End Sub
Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
'Do not forget to load the layout file created with the visual designer. For example:
Activity.LoadLayout("Layout1")
Panel1.Initialize("Test")
c.Initialize(Panel1)
End Sub
Look at the Beginner's Guide chapter 15.2 Drawing test programs
In chapter 15.2.1 First steps you find an example with explanations.
The source code is shipped with the Beginner's Guide in the folder SourceCode\Graphics\GraphicsFirstSteps.
In the GraphicsFirstSteps example, it doesn't appear in the Beginner's Guide nor is it in the code !
pnlGraph is defined in the layout, so NO AddView !
I thought you were refering the GraphicsFirstSteps example because I suggested you this one .
And I looked at the Beginner's Guide to see it there was an error.
