B4A Library RatingBar

This library displays a rating (or any value) with a set of images. The bar can use your own images, have any size and be placed anywhere on screen, contrary to the standard RatingBar.

This is not a wrapper of an existing project. It's 100% my own code.

How can I change the color of the stars to the Material Design color of my theme "colorAccent" ?

This library uses the system drawables to draw the stars. You cannot draw them with a different color. You have to provide your own bitmaps.

How to get the tag value in Changed event?
I have the RatingBar on an ULV panel.

In the ContentFiller I save the ItemID in the tag so that I can grab that value later for further actions.

When the user clicks on the view I usually use the "Sender"-element to get to the tag value.

While trying to get to the RatingBar.Tag I receive this error:

Am I doing something wrong?

Yes, there's a bug in the library. I'm going to fix it. Thanks for the report.
Note: I don't know what you store in the Tag property (mapItemMeal?) but it's not the itemId.

Fixed. The new version is in post #1.

OK, for an example it was too special since I was too lazy to create an extra demonstration app.

In the ContenFiller I use the tag properties of the views either to store the UlvItemId or some recordset-ID from the feeding SQL-query so that I can perform SQL actions to the belonging recordset.

In the above sample "mapItemMeal.Get(xIDWp2)" holds a numeric value.

Ok. Resolved ( my wrong )
if set in method Null as HalfAllowed

RatingBar1.SetBitmaps(bmpBallOn, Null, bmpBallOff)

but dont set this property in Design as HalfAllowed = False, of course i have this unwanted effect.
Thank you Fred for this library.
