I have just started with B4A and have been trying to make an analog clock with custom dial and hands. I have already created this in Eclipse but I have just run into a brick wall. The options seem so limited.
Playing with the AnalogClock example I was able to get the bitmap for the custom dial and second hand working but I see no way of doing the same with the hour and minute hands. Also the face of the standard clock persists over the custom dial.
Must confess that it is a mystery how Eclipse finds this method in the android API as it mysteriously happens in an xml file which produces hints as you type for example android:hand_minutes...... the hand_minute is one of the items that appear in a pop-up list, and I can find no reference in the SDK for hand_minute or hand_hour.
I can post the code if wanted but just tell me it's impossible guys and I will understand. Like I said it already works with Eclipse so it's not the end of the world.
