Android Question RSPopupMenu & IconPicker?

[ilan]

hi

i am trying to add an icon to a string on my RSPopup Menu.

but the icon is not shown instead i see a rectangle with a cross in it.

code:

    PopupMenu.Initialize("PopupMenu", newshiftadd)
    PopupMenu.AddMenuItem(0, 0, Chr(0xF271) & "   משמרת חדשה")
    PopupMenu.AddMenuItem(1, 1, Chr(0xF20B)  & "   תשלום קבוע")

result:

is it not possible to use icons with strings?

is it not possible to use icons with strings?

i guess you need to set the typeface of the popupitems to use fontawesome for ex

i guess you need to set the typeface of the popupitems to use fontawesome for ex

there is no such settings in popupmenu

 

[Haris Hafeez]

Looks like you need to get the label used by the popup menu and set its typeface. Not sure how to do it though unfortunately.

there is no such settings in popupmenu

to bad...

- Try to contact the author to get the source of the lib and i´ll adapt it for you
- Try to find a java library on Github which does what you you need and post a thread in wish-forum for it. Maybe someone will do a wrap

As xverhelst is no longer active i would suggest the second. Find a java lib on Github which does what you need and post a wish or a joboffer

i looked here but i try to get the mMenu or any view with javaobject but i can get any fields. i always get Field not found...
maybe the author renamed all fields?

EDIT: i found also this maybe it helps

maybe it is a totally other popup then the listed android widget

EDIT: i found also this maybe it helps

mPopup.setForceShowIcon(true);//ADD THIS LINE

You need access to the libs source i guess to add it

mPopup.setForceShowIcon(true);//ADD THIS LINE

You need access to the libs source i guess to add it

i have tried it already like this but it didnot work.

   Dim jo As JavaObject = ppm
   jo.GetFieldJO("mPopup").RunMethod("setForceShowIcon",Array(True))

maybe you are right, maybe its a different PopUp Menu.

is there a function to get all fields in a JO?

like an array of all available fields, like this i could try to get the view via reflector and set the label typeface to fontawesome.

You will need to wait a few hours...

Step 1: Use RichString v1.5 https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/richstring-library.10680/#post-59476

Step 2: Add a Label named lblFontAwesome with the designer and set its Typeface to FontAwesome (you can make it invisible).

Step 3: Use this code to add items:

AddMenuItem(PopupMenu, 0, 0, Chr(0xF271) & "  משמרת חדשה")

Private Sub AddMenuItem (PM As RSPopupMenu, ItemId As Int, Order As Int, Title As String)
   Dim jo As JavaObject = PM
   Dim menu As JavaObject = jo.RunMethodJO("getMenu", Null)
   menu.RunMethod("add", Array(0, ItemId, Order, CreateFAString(Title)))
End Sub

Private Sub CreateFAString(s As String) As RichString
   Dim rs As RichString
   rs.Initialize(s)
   rs.TypefaceCustom(lblFontAwesome.Typeface, 0, rs.Length)
   Return rs
End Sub

BTW, the reason that we cannot use the library method to add the items is that the library accepts a String instead of a CharSequence. So we need to call the native API directly.
