Currently I’m using the SnP version and I’m trying to create a FaceBook-like Dataviewer layout.
After hours changing the components properties I can’t find a way to make my layout fits the main image correctly.
Anybody knows what in the hell I have to change to fit the different photos sizes / aspect ratios without leaving blank spaces before / after or hiding the the bottom row?
In both examples, the Label below the photo that shows the photo description is hidden for some unknown reason (but in Thunkable IDE is displayed normally).
I changed the following properties in many different ways without results:
It’s very difficult to control an image component in a Data Viewer. I would use a row or column and set the background image to show the selected photo.
It’s possible link the datasource with any image in the DataViewer when we use this image as a column background?
Will be easier to manipulate these images / Dataviewer if I change my project to the DnD interface?

UPDATE
Regarding Question #1, Yes, it’s possible to bind Row Background Image to the Dataviewer when you select the Advanced Binding, when creating the DataViewer
UPDATE 2
The idea of @munner to use backgound picture was nice, but it was also necessary create a “dummy” label and set an absolute height of 350 px in order show the background picture correctly. Look the result:
If I were you I would create a dummy table with one single record only and then bind it to the Data Viewer.
I will then use my code to change the content of the Data Viewer fields. This way I will not need to use Advanced Binding and will only display a single card at a time.
