roGridScreen Poster Starting Position

Hello,

I am new to brightscript and am working to modify the simple grid example to work as a starting place for a new channel I am creating.

I am retrieving my titles and posters via a web service call. I am parsing the returned JSON and it is working beautifully.

The only problem is that if a category only has one movie it is putting the poster in the middle rather than starting at the left. Is there a way to specify that the grid fill from left to right rather than starting in the center?

Thanks for any help.

Re: roGridScreen Poster Starting Position

i am using the openRokn template and I modified which poster was in focus by changing the line: grid.SetFocusedListItem(0,0)
the 0,0 means first frame in the first row. Not sure if this will help you

Re: roGridScreen Poster Starting Position

Thanks @mikehanel. That doesn't seem to fix it.

Basically If I have 5 or more shows it works fine, but if I have less than that for example only 3 episodes it shows up like this:

_ _ X X X (with the _ being blank spots in the grid and the X being posters). What I would like it to look like is:

X X X _ _ (filling starting from the left rather than from the center position.

What am I missing?

Thanks,

Josh
