In my app, horizontal scroll arrangement is used to load images in 100x100 pixels
Requirement: when an image is clicked, that image (original size) should be displayed over the horizontal scroll arrangement
since I could not get this done, I am using another layout to display the image.
The overlay extension doesn't work here.
Your help is much appreciated

Why HSA? Please explain in more detail, show your relevant blocks and the Designer layout.
Thank you so much. Great help.
Try this:
For me, the scrollbar was still appearing at runtime (though disappearing after about 1/2 second. I added a clock timer to make the gallery visible after 100ms, and this seems to resolve that issue.
works fine. thanks.

thanks for solving my earlier issue. Now I have added another scroll arrangement and tried to display the image in its original size. It doesn't work.
have you set all the images clickable?
From your image, the overlay cannot really be any bigger, given it almost fills the width of the screen ?
yes, can this be done?
I would be very pleased if its possible darken the background layers when I open an overlapped layer. I mean, the android system makes this already when we use the spinner or notifier components. Then it must be possible, or not?
which extension are you using
com.vsatish.overlapview.aix

This is possibly the wrong extension for getting a darkened background. You need one that creates a dialog, and also ensure that your dialog does not completely fill the screen.

then CTRL+F "dialog"
I tried the "overlapTestExtn.aia" but never got it working with the AI companion. With different phones, with different Android versions. Screen initialisation seems to abort, companion shows start display (The two 'connect' buttons) Always get the error:

This is a general issue with the companion app, which has been reported here
