Android Example [B4X] B4XTable - Setting cell (default label) properties

EDIT: created a more comfortable library (b4xlib) based on this code, B4XTblClmUtils:
https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/b4x-b4xtblclmutils-v-1-0.116672/post-729034



B4X:
    Public Const XCLMN_PROP_TEXTSIZE As String = "TextSize"
    Public Const XCLMN_PROP_TEXTCOLOR As String = "TextColor"    'XUI colors
    Public Const XCLMN_PROP_FONT As String = "Font"                    'B4XFont
    Public Const XCLMN_PROP_PADDING As String = "Padding"            'B4A only.
    Public Const XCLMN_PROP_COLORANDBORDER As String = "ColorAndBorder"
       Public Const CAB_BGCOLOR As String = "BGC"
       Public Const CAB_BWIDTH As String = "BW"
       Public Const CAB_BCOLOR As String = "BC"
       Public Const CAB_BCRADIUS As String = "BCR"

B4X:
B4XTable1.MaximumRowsPerPage = 10
B4XTable1.BuildLayoutsCache(10)

B4X:
Dim mapProps As Map
mapProps.Initialize

Dim xFnt As B4XFont
xFnt = xui.CreateFont(fx.LoadFont(File.DirAssets, "FontFileNameHere", 16), 16)
mapProps.Put(XCLMN_PROP_FONT, xFnt)
mapProps.Put(XCLMN_PROP_TEXTSIZE, 20) ' This is an example; fnt text size previously "set" to 16!
mapProps.Put(XCLMN_PROP_TEXTCOLOR, xui.Color_Blue)
mapProps.Put(XCLMN_PROP_COLORANDBORDER, CreateMap(CAB_BGCOLOR:xui.Color_LightGray))

SetColumnCellProps(B4XTable1, 0, mapProps)

B4X:
' Note:
' 1 - you should first set BuildLayoutsCache, like:
'    B4XTable1.MaximumRowsPerPage = 10
'    B4XTable1.BuildLayoutsCache(B4XTable1.MaximumRowsPerPage)
'
' 2 - for XCLMN_PROP_COLORANDBORDER, pass a map with BAC_ constants as keys:
'    SetColumnCellProps(B4XTable1, 0, CreateMap(CAB_BGCOLOR:xui.Color_LightGray))

Tip: never use Map.GetKeyAt / GetValueAt.
You are right (as always), I knew and... was too tired to think on "how" šŸ˜³šŸ™ƒ (done, changed).

1 - maybe this not the right place for that code, "Code Snippets" should be better;
2 - a simple class with methods like "SetFont", "SetTextSize" (or properties?) would better, like "B4XColumnUtils"
