Load GUI from string dynamically
#1
Hello,

I am new to XBMC dev, and was wondering if it is possible to load GUI (e.g. XBMC XML GUI) from a string that can change from time to time (dynamic) and show it on screen as a window or overlay it on top of the current view. I am wishing to get some GUI-XML and then displaying it dynamically (so it is not a static content). If there is anyway to do that (even through hacks) I will be happy to hear about them. If not, then any possible close alternative.

All suggestions are much appreciated.

Does the XML (i.e. layout) change, or the content?
Always read the XBMC online-manual, FAQ and search the forum before posting.
Do not e-mail XBMC-Team members directly asking for support. Read/follow the forum rules.
For troubleshooting and bug reporting please make sure you read this first.

Both of them can change. But they don't change once they are displayed on screen. The XML/content is fetched from an external source as a string, and I wish to display it on screen.

Something like "WindowXML"

But that one only load from skin files/structured skin paths related to skins, and I wish to load from a string directly (unless there is a hack for it?)
