Hi. youre right. i got it to work. ill definitely look into that after im done with ny app. right now i dont have the time to have to convert it to codable since i already have the parsing logic from my android app. so im converting em quickly except this one, got stuck.

what do you mean by first responder

hmmm ill check. could be some other code is the caus3

@claude31 hmm it certainly did not reload the component. when the tab view was shown, it loaded all components. i figure the culprit is in my custom view. if i use the WebView as sample. we have TextView(), WebView(), TextView2(). the init in text view print shows when i switch from WebView to any of the other 2 TextView() views. but if the switch is between TextView() and TextView2(), its ok.

seems the problem is of my own doing. I have so many state changes in onAppear that's why it recreates the tabs

Hi @claude31 i actually can load the url in the browser. you are right about the unwrap without checking for nil is dangerous. but I purposely unwrapped it because my video url is fixed. but im using a sample video url to start with. about the url, i assumed it should be working since i can view the video in the browser.

ill try it. perhaps i wasnt observing that he (the post that said avplayer has to be a state) probably set it as state but did not make it optional. or because i only assigned it in init it resulted this way. it probably will work if it is a state optional but i set the value after a button click?

it's ok now. since i decided to implement my original workflow which is to load the video on a button selection in the sheet. thanks @claude31. sucks that videoplayer or avplayer doesnt have auto repeat and that some other class has to be used. and it is not even possible to put a thumbnail to the video while it is not playing.

i did get it to work even if avplayer is state. but only instantiated it on button click. my next problem is how to make it play in a loop based on bool var. opened up a new thread about it. since videoplayer /av player has no way

opacity count is options.count. i forgot to change that one. it took me quite some hours. my mistake was i tried to integrate the array in the stepper when the stepper should only store the index value which i can tehn use to get the value from the array. beginner's mistake. :D but boy.. it took me quite awhile to figure it out lol

Right. i confused myself with the value of the stepper and the array.

Hi @claude31 thank you. i will try this. hmmm maybe use .offset() to adjust the text to make it overlap between the line

work3d good. i us3d offset for the desired position

@claude31 perfect! i used alignmentGuide instead.

I also tried that. but nothing happens still.
