B4J Library [B4X] [XUI] SD FlexGrid (Table)

I created a new library to show a table (or grid) similar to the one in EXCEL.

There are already excellent classes that allow many to accomplish things, such as xCustomListView by @Erel (B4X) and with the FlexibleTable by @klaus (B4A). I wanted to make something slightly different suited to my needs.

WARNING
The use of libraries for personal and / or commercial use is permitted. It is not allowed to modify the sources or change the name of the library. Reverse engineering is not authorized to access the sources for any reason, not even for study or learning reasons.

Explanations:
  1. To get the calculation of the cells that contain a formula I have added Erel's B4XEval to my Library, but as soon as possible I will make it external so that everyone can modify it according to their needs.
  2. To select multiple cells, position yourself on the first cell of those to be selected (the one at the top left) click a shot and then click again and drag your finger to cover all the cells (or area) that you want to select
  3. It is still in beta version, presents problems in large grids.
  4. Now only for B4A and B4i Now for B4A,B4i,B4j
  5. In the example to select a group of cells just long click on a cell (not checkbox). In the case of B4J click with the right mouse button

PS if it's not rude can I suggest some more changes in the future please, I have some ideas which I think will make the library the greatest grid on Earth-Solar System-Milky-Way-Universe.

Of course you can suggest. I don't always have the time to make changes, but I'm happy to do it when I can.

I generally prefer improvements that are useful to everyone and that have general application. Some only suggest things that only serve their application but that others would not benefit from.

Hi Star-Dust Are you saying that the text and background colors cannot be changed or that there is no 'EditCellonsite' function.

EditCellonsite: 
        If Col = 2 Then
            FlexGrid1.EditCellonsite(Row, 2)
        End If

Hi Star-Dust is there a way to center the FlexGrid1.TypeCheck the following code does not do it.

Flex Grid: 
        FlexGrid1.ColsName = Array As String("Select", "LocationID", "Locations")
        'FlexGrid1.HeaderFont = xui.CreateDefaultBoldFont(16)
        FlexGrid1.ColsWidth = Array As Int(20%x, 0, 80%x)
        FlexGrid1.ColsType = Array As Int(FlexGrid1.TypeCheck, FlexGrid1.TypeInt, FlexGrid1.TypeString)
        FlexGrid1.ColsAlignment = Array As String("CENTER", "CENTER", "CENTER")

I'm using Flexgrid (excellent).
I'm having the following problem:
Several statements are executed and the table is assembled (using Flexgrid1.AddRow, etc...)
In the sequence, when the command "FlexGrid1.EditCellOnSite(0,0)" is executed, the program cancels with the message "java.lang.Runtime.Exception: Object should first be initialized (B4XView)".
What has to be initialized?

My mistake.
I had set up the entire table structure but had not created the cells. So I was trying to edit what didn't exist.
Sorry for wasting your time but once again congratulations for the librarie.

I have an application using your FlexGrid librarie.
It is basically a data entry table (only numbers and the letter M).
To enter data in each cell of the table I used a "own keyboard" and filled the cell with SendKeys.
It worked perfectly.
But, with Android 13, SendKeys doesn't work anymore.
Can I have access to the Flexgrid editing "field"?
I tried with Flexgrid getvalue and flexgrid setvalue but it doesn't work because when using these functions the editing of the cell "turns off".
If I had access to "edit variable", I could do, for example:
edit field = edit field & "1"", edit field = edit field & "2", etc...
Ideally, input values should appear in the cell being edited.
Thank you in advance for your attention.

You can do this without accessing the view. Do not use EditCellOnSite but when you click on the cell you open your own panel with an EditText that you can customize as you wish

Star-Dust,
Yes, I had already thought about this solution but, if I understand correctly, the entered data will appear in Editext and at the "end" will be moved to the cell being edited.
The solution with senkeys was more "elegant" 😃 because the data being entered appeared in the cell itself being edited.

Star-Dust,
Initially, I clarify that all the questions below are exclusively by code, that is, without touching the screen.
In an application using your Flexgrid, we have 6 columns and several rows.
Because of the size of the screen, only 3 columns are displayed at a time. If we use EditOnSite, and scroll to the right in the same row, when we reach column 4 the screen scrolls automatically and columns 2, 3 and 4 are visible. Even when we reach the last column and move forward, the screen scrolls to column 1 of the next row.
When instead of Editonsite we use SelectCell, the scroll does not happen. So when we move from column 3 to 4 (by code), the cell is selected but invisible unless scrolling by hand.
My question is whether we can do this scrolling by code.
Thank you in advance for your attention.
