Yes it works exactly right. I will show you a way.

The "High contrast text" setting is turned on in your device settings. That's why it doesn't show colors. I want you to turn this setting off and try again.

High contrast text

High contrast makes text easier to read on your device. This feature fixes the text color as either black or white, depending on the original text color.
To turn off high contrast text, follow these steps:
  1. Open your device's Settings app.
  2. Tap Accessibility.
  3. Turn off High contrast text.
Note: High-contrast text is an experimental feature, so it might not work correctly everywhere on your device.

High contrast text

Thanks Ertan, that must be the problem. However another isue is that when I try to populate a new MetroUI_TextView, the B4A Designer shows an error "Unknown View MetroUI_TextView". This also happens with the example. It's works anyway, you can run it perfectly, but if you want to populate another control under B4A 10.2, you wont be able to. Anyway I found a workarround, I copy the control form the example App to my new app, later on, you can duplicate the control.

this is a small IDE bug.

[SOLVED] Insert Designer Component Error [SD_TextView]

Hello [B4X] [XUI] [B4XLib] SD_TextView I will talk about an error in the library. We found the cause of this error with the library builder. He told me to report this error to @Erel . In short, in order to add a component in the library, I always right click on the designer and add a new...

I think there's a bug when you need to initialize the control with some defaut text. I Mean, supouse you enter the User ID, later on you store that info and when the user login again later on, you need to fill the EditBox with the recover ID. I do this by setting up the MetroUI_TextView.Text property, but when I do it, the control fails to displays correctly, I mean, the hint label appears hiding this default text, and when I type a new character, the text remain hidden by the Hint, and only this hint can be seen, it look that only works starting with an empty string.
Also there's the posibility to use a transparent background for the Edit Text control, but when the Hint label goes up, its background it's allways white, this force that the entire form to be background white.
All this is done in the Sub B4XPage_Appear of a B4XPages project.
This is my best shoot to solve all those problems (all but the Hint Up background):
B4X: 
    Password.Text = Main.Config.Clave         ' Set the Text content
    Password.NativeObject.RequestFocus     ' Force Hint Label to go up
    Password.MyTextBoxB4X.SelectionStart = Main.Config.Clave.Length     ' Force Cursor to move to the end of the entry (default is the begining)

I do not fully understand what you mean because I use translation, sorry.
Does this issue apply to iOS? Is there on Android?
I tested both platforms.

Into Textview
B4X: 
MetroUI_TextView1.Text = "Ertan"
I filled it by typing. The variable hindi script scrolled up smoothly.

Would you take a video? We can understand and solve the problem faster.
thank you.

I generate an empty B4XPages project and was able to duplicate the problem, here's the ofending code and, attached, the project.

B4X: 
Sub B4XPage_Appear
    MetroUI_TextView1.Text = ""
    MetroUI_TextView2.Text = ""
    
    'B4XPages.SetTitle(Me,"Test")
    
    MetroUI_TextView1.Text = "First Test"
    MetroUI_TextView2.Text = "Second control"
    
End Sub

Can you test it for me? v2.05
If you can get "Unexpected event (missing RaiseSynchronousEvents): mytextbox_textchanged" error in the log report, it is only valid in debug mode. Release will not appear either. The reason for this is that we write the code in Appear. I will look into the solution.
If you get the result you want, I'll update the library.

It looks like it´s working, I´m still testing in B4A for now. Only ¨problem¨ that I found is that the background color of the Upper hint is still solid white, but, this can be fixed like in the TxEdit CustomControl. The ¨Unexpected event¨ is raised in Debug mode like you set, but the program seems to run anyway.
I really like you´r control, and hope to use it in a big form project under B4i for iPad that I need to develop in the next month, I´ll report any problem then, cos´ now I just using it for User/Password entry.
Excelent work!
Thank you

I'll add hint name background setting for you.

The Background feature has made the main background transparent.
We also use it in one of our applications and it runs smoothly .. Let's see

I dont know if allways, but when I call the ClearError, the EditText background is set to white. Let's say you have an User and Password field, when you hit the login button, you need to clear the errors on those fields, wheter or not the field status is with error, warning or normal. I don't know if you understand, but if I type the User field but left empty the password field, and then I press the Login Button, an Error (Password is required) is triggered, but then the edit is redirected the the password field for complexion, but this all time the error condition and message remain, now when the user ccompletes this field and press Login again, the first action is clear the errors in the entry fields, then try to login, and if there are errors, trigger another error condition and message, and return to edit the user. Each time I call the ClearError method, the entry fields background is set to white.

Hello @Ertan
Thank You for sharing great UI Lib, today I found some bug in it.
When this view attaches inside activity without a panel, it looks strange. Maybe this picture will explain it.

Another thing is that in Android, when you have 2 Metro controls populated in the screen, and you press the NEXT button in the keyboard while you are editing the first control, the focus moves to the second control without giving the posibility to verify the first field. I mean, when you hit DONE inside the field, the done sub is triggered and there you can check the conditions to accept or reject the input, in case of error, I send a focus to the field and fire the error condition, the cursor allways remains in the first field. But if the user hits NEXT in the keyboard, the focus moves to the next Metro field,then, the change focus event is triggered, there, I check the error condition of the first field, fire the error, re focus on the first control, but visually, the focus goes back to the first control, giving an ugly animation cos the cursor goes to the next field and then back to the first. I think the NEXT button in the keyboard shoud fire the DONE event in the control, and the programmer manually can focus the next control or trigger the error on the actual field. This way, the control will work on both patterns, check errors in each field or check errors upon completion of the whole form.

Error occurred on line: 302 (MetroUI_TextView)
