B4A Library [B4X] CoolLogo

(It is much smoother than in the above animated gif)

A cross platform custom view based on XUI and BitmapCreator. It draws a moving line over the non-transparent parts of the image.

It is done using a feature of BitmapCreator that builds a data structure with the information about non-transparent parts of the image.

The custom view should be added with the designer. You then need to call SetBitmap to set the image.

A B4J project is attached. The class is cross platform.
Depends on: XUI and BitmapCreator libraries.

Notes:

In B4A you need to add this code in Activity_Resume or the animation will not be resumed when the activity is resumed:

CoolLogo1.Visible = CoolLogo1.Visible

Another example:

Facebook Shimmer effect for Android

Has anyone created a B4A library for the Facebook Shimmer effect? https://facebook.github.io/shimmer-android/ An easy way to apply this during any UI loading would be great for providing user feedback (unfortunately library creation is above my skill set!)

CoolLogo1.Visible = CoolLogo1.Visible

Thanks for view, but do I see it right or having some illusion here !
How does it matter ? It does not change anything, I presume.

The code of this property is:

Public Sub setVisible (b As Boolean)
   mBase.Visible = b
   Update
End Sub

The call to Update is important as it restarts the animation if the control is visible.

Private CoolLogoOnLabel As CoolLogo
CoolLogoOnLabel.Bitmap = Label1.Snapshot ' Label1 is a B4XView

Strangely it seems not to work with b4a.
