B4A 2.5 BETA 4 related error

[NJDude]

I was testing B4A BETA 4, I compiled one of my classes as a library, no problem, I used the new "lib" under 2.5, no problem, however, when I attempt to use that lib under 2.3 I get this error when compiling:

Hey

Was playing with the Designer and it seems there is a problem when I try the following on a label in a panel.

Label1.left = 10dip < it dosnt work

only works when I use

Label1.SetLeftAndRight(10dip, 100%x-10dip)

sincerly

 

[Erel]

It is better to start a new thread for a new question / issue.

In which way it doesn't work? The label is not set in the correct position?

I cannot reproduce it. Can you upload the layout file?

 

[klaus]

The properties are Left, Top, Width and Height.
When you set the Left property the Right border is defined by Right = Left + Width !
SetLeftAndRight means that you set the Left and Right boarder and the Width changes.

Best regards.

Have you read klaus answer?

Horizontal scrollbar not always working

Ok, so I am adding licensing, and as such I needed to paste that huge long Google API key.

My B4A is full screen.

When I pasted the string, the IDE's bottom horizontal scrollbar didn't appear, so I couldn't scroll to the right of this long string.

Hitting the restore button, and then the maximize button forced the scrollbar to redraw, and now it is ok.

Minor issue atm, but it could get quite tiresome.

 

[Erel]

Thank you. I see it too. It will be fixed.

I am having difficulties creating a non-debug signing key. Is it me (this is my first app), or is it the Beta that is the problem?

I apologise in advance if it's something I am doing wrong.

 

[Erel]

Which error do you get?

 

[Vader]

Not an error from B4A as such...

I am trying to test Licensing. I have signed up for licensing, and have gotten my API key.

I have entered the license key in the app (Process_Globals)
I go into Google Play Settings and have set the License Test Response to "NOT_LICENSED"
I have saved the Google Play info changes
I have set the Gmail account I have registered on the phone as "testing access" AND also removed this account with the same result.

If I try to do anything with Licensing, I always get "NOT_MARKET_MANAGED". Fair enough I suppose, I haven't uploaded the APK.

So I'll upload the APK...

When I go to the application folder and select the APK file, and attempt to upload the _DEBUG version, the page replies with...
Upload failed
You uploaded an APK that was signed in debug mode. You need to sign your APK in release mode.

Fair enough, it IS a debug APK.

So, go back into B4A and change the DEBUG/RELEASE/RELEASE (obfuscated) drop-down to RELEASE.
Compile (Alt-1)
[Close]
F11
[Cancel download on phone]
Attempt to upload APK (Which is now NOT a debug version) to Google Play...
Error:

Upload failed
You uploaded an APK that was signed in debug mode. You need to sign your APK in release mode.

What am I doing wrong?

    Dim Model As String = PhoneInfo.Model.ToLowerCase

    Activity.LoadLayout("Test")
    ' *****************************************************************************
    ' Licensing
    If Model = "sdk" Then
        lc_Allow
    Else
        CheckLicense
    End If
    ' *****************************************************************************
...
...
End Sub

Private Sub CheckLicense
    Dim Checker As LicenseChecker
   
    Checker.Initialize("lc", GetDeviceId, publicKey, "ARandomStringOfBytes".GetBytes("UTF8"))

    'Checker.SetVariableAndValue("test_1", "some secret value")

    Checker.CheckAccess
End Sub

Thanks Erel. Just as I thought. PEBKAC error.
