Ciao Rob

Grazie...

Moin Rob,
great collection of information you created there. Thank you!

I'm new to B4J and just installed the environment.

I've tried a few howto's and it's flawless to work with and good to understand!

One Question:

- HowTo #15 throws an error "Property "stylesheets" does not exist or is read-only" (see log below)

- File "project.css" is in the files-folder

Could it be that I forgot to set something up?

Best regards,
fredo

Hi Fredo,

to go for sure have downloaded this howto and executed without any issues. This app has been developed using JDK 8 and JavaFX 2. Found in several threads, that when using JDK 7 this error occurs when an app has been developed using JDK 8. It is fixed when upgrading to JDK 8.
Pls verify which JDK version you use?

Thanks for your feedback - as always encouraging to continue.

I've just installed JDK 8 and now it works perfectly.

Thanks for the hint, Rob

To run the access database example, ensure to copy the addtional libraries (packed in dbdrivermsaccess.zip part of the example zip) to your B4J additional library folder.

Thank You

Robert,

Sorry, but I don't see the dbdrivermsaccess.zip file in the XML-based version 1, or the Sqlite-based version 2.

When compiling version 1, it complains about this line:

gDlg.ShowMessage2(strMsg, strHdg, gDlg.MSGTYPE_INFORMATION)

, an unknown member error.

jRLStringPlus, jRLWinBatteryInfo, jrlmsgdialogs, and jrlini from your site, have all been installed in libraries.

When compiling the offline version 2 reader,

it complains about a missing jna-3.5.1.jar. A google search for 'b4j jna-3.5.1.jar', indicates that it's referenced on your BatteryInfo page http://www.rwblinn.de/142k1t43.htm, but when you link to that page, it isn't there.

The latest jna is available on github, but I don't think it has the wrapper and xml that's required by B4J.

rwblinn · Sep 12, 2014

Hi,

thanks for feedback. Pls find my reply:

The dbdrivermsaccess.zip file is included in B4J HOWTO Example project Nr. 12 (I have checked again)
12. Open and load MS Access Database records
http://www.rwblinn.de/b4j/b4jhowto/examples/b4jhowtomsaccess.zip
The B4J HOWTO Offline Readers do not require jna-3.5.1.jar. You can check this by reviewing the project attributes as defined in the b4j files.
For version 1, if you receive an error for the Message Dialog, you might have the wrong version of the jRLMsgDialogs Library. Ensure to use version 1.14, which is attached.

The Battery Info Library uses jna 4.1.0 as referenced in the readme.txt:
http://www.rwblinn.de/b4j/opensource/jrlwinbatteryinfo.zip
You do not need a wrapper for B4J - ensure to include the additional jna library in the project attributes.

Good Luck further in Exploring B4J...

Sorry, I didn't see your reply until now. Thanks, will check it out today.

(just a side remark)
Got this month (unexpected) involved in various B4A app developments - it is great to see how code can be reused between B4A <> B4J, but also how fast apps (esp prototypes) can be developed using B4A = real RAD comes true here.

Hi Robert,

I tried compiling version 1, and received the

Error description: Unknown type: jrlmsgdialogs

error.

Then, when Compiling to Library the jRLDialogs class at http://www.rwblinn.de/142k1t40.htm,

the error

Error description: Access to the path 'C:\Software\Freeware\B4J\jRLDialogs\Objects\src\b4j\example' is denied

occurs.

After creating the b4j/example folder in the jRLDialogs class and copying it to the B4J Libraries folder, and closing & restarting the project, the original error that

Error description: Unknown type: jrlmsgdialogs

still occurs. jrlmsgdialogs is checked off, in the libraries form.

rwblinn · May 7, 2016

Hi,

based on your request, took following steps to verify:
1) Downloaded B4J: Version 1 for Windows (XML DB)..
2) The zip file contains the library jRLMsgDialogs v1.10. Copied jRLMsgDialogs.jar and jRLMsgDialogs.xml to the B4J Additional Libraries Folder.
3) Opened B4JHowTo.b4j in the B4J IDE (B4J v4.20 (1).
4) Verified the jRLMsgDialogs library in the B4J IDE list. Result version 1.1 listed and checked.
5) Compiled and run B4JHowTo v1 without issues.

Could you please check if the steps 1 - 5 will work in your environment.

Appreciated.

B4JExplorer · May 7, 2016

The version may be the problem.

http://www.rwblinn.de/142k1t40.htm apparently contains version 1, rather than 1.1. The compilation works, only if gDlg as jRLDialogs, rather than jRLMsgDialogs.

I'll search around for the 1.1 version, and try again.

One interesting quirk, after compiling and testing this, is that my other non-ui apps won't compile now, unless an ../Objects/src/b4j folder is defined.

B4JExplorer · May 7, 2016

All set. You had forwarded me a link to jrlmsgdialogs in a previous post, from a couple of years ago.

https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/b4j-howtos.36350/page-2#post-421751

, but after trying in vain for 3-4 days to get it working back then, I had to move on. It works now, very nicely.

Thanks, RWB.

B4J HowTos Updated Jun 21, 2016: Read News first. Total 1052 HowTos, 136 Examples.

Notes
Slowed down a bit in developing new B4J HowTos as been focussing on the new B4R development tool - for which I developed in the mean time 31 sample experiments (go here, select B4X > B4R > Arduino or ESP8266). Some of the B4R experiments show the integration between B4R and B4J - one of the great B4X power features.
