B4J Question Athena B4J ACM Module

[ThRuST]

As my project Athena is getting closer to be released, I need help from the community to add code to the B4J Code Module.
It will be Freely available with the project as an attraction point.
It also helps spreading the awareness of B4X for the world.

Please contribute with your code snippets.

Rules

• Specify menu option name for your code to be stored
• Nice and tidy code
• Comments for each important section
• Your code can be used for free
• Include documentation description separately what the code does

The module will be released under the Creative Commons license terms, which is bundled within the module file itself.

Please note that any code you provide might be modified to meet the quality requirements for Athena.

* Each floating menu holds 30 programmable slots. Each database holds 4 sections that holds 120 rows.
As there's four SQLite databases for flexibility allowing a total of 480 programmable slots.

The floating menu can be programmed with

• Empty
• HTML format (from HTML editor)
• Shortcuts to Applications
• Shortcuts to Folders
• Code from code view that can be autopasted at the cursor (strings)
• Images (can be stored and pasted for each and any slot)
• Weblink (standard www links to webpages)

* Modules can be imported/exported with a cover and a license file for Free or Commercial purposes.

* Modules can be changed from the main floating menu (mouse #3) which takes two seconds only.

Here's a screenshot of when building an application from scratch

Initialization #1 Example - Timer

' Declaration of Timer variable
Private myTimer As Timer

' Timer Initialization
myTimer.Initialize("myTimer", 1000)

' Timer Started
myTimer.Enabled = True

' Timer Stopped
myTimer.Enabled = False

Initialization #2 FileChooser

' FileChooser Declaration
Public fc As FileChooser

    ' FileChooser Init
    fc.Initialize
    fc.Title="Browse and select a file"
    fc.SetExtensionFilter("Text files", Array As String ("*.txt"))
    fc.InitialFileName = ""
    fc.InitialDirectory = "C:\"
     
    ' Shows FileChooser
    Dim filename As String = fc.ShowOpen(MainForm)
 
    ' Store Path & Filename only if a file was selected
    If File.GetName(filename) <> "" Then
        Log("Path: " & File.GetFileParent(filename))     ' Path
        Log("Filename: " & File.GetName(filename)) ' Filename
    End If

' Initialization #2 - DirectoryChooser

' DirectoryChooser Declaration
Public dc As DirectoryChooser

    ' DirectoryChooser Init
    dc.Initialize
    dc.Title = "Please browse and select a folder"
    dc.InitialDirectory = "C:\"
 
    ' Shows DirectoryChooser
    Dim folder As String = dc.Show(MainForm)

    ' Only if the user selects a directory
    If folder <> "" Then
     
        ' A new folder was selected
        Log(folder) ' Folder
     
    End If

I've made a little guide how to use the documents manager. A bit messy but I guess you'll get the idea

You need to polish your manual creation skills
