Hi all,

Is anyone familiar with "ActivateWindow()" and its parameters?

I would like to add a button to my skin which directly opens the "DialogAddonInfo.xml" with my addon / skin settings.
Probably I need to refer somehow to the "id" of my addon, which is described in "addon.xml".

My addon.xml has the following id: <addon id="id="skin.audi_rns"

So what I would like to get to work would be something like: ActivateWindow(DialogAddonInfo.xml, skin.audi.rns)
Or ActivateWindow(146, skin.audi.rns)


Thanks in advance!

Wow,

Don't bother the question, my own example works

Drop the second part as that wont do anything as it's used for opening a directory in the window. Also don't use the ID number as they can change, instead use the name.

ie addoninformation

Thanks, its "ActivateWindow(addoninformation)" now.

Unfortunately this only works if I previously manually went to;
=> My Addons =>Skin => AudiRns (my skin) => Configure

Afterwards the link works, but if I don't, I guess the listitems are emtpy en kodi blacks out when calling addoninformation.

The information dialogs only work contextually.

Ok,

Is it maybe possible to preset this context (like with python during boot)?

I see a lot of "setProperty" coding on the internet:

- xbmcgui.Window(xbmcgui.getCurrentWindowId()).setProperty("CURRENTARTIST", artist)

- listitem = xbmcgui.ListItem(label=movie, iconImage='DefaultVideo.png', thumbnailImage=thumb)
listitem.setProperty( "icon", thumb )

But none of them seem to represent
- $INFO[ListItem.Property(Addon.Name)]
- ListItem.Property(Addon.Type)
- ...
