B4J Library [B4X] [XUI] AnotherDatePicker

Status
Not open for further replies.
Edit: don't use this library. Use B4XDialog + B4XDateTemplate from XUI Views library instead.

This is a cross platform version of AnotherDatePicker custom view based on XUI library.

The user can enter the date directly into the field. The field border color will change to red when the value is invalid.

Notes:

- B4J buttons raise the Action event. This is handled in the code with:
B4X:
#if B4J
Private Sub btnCancel_Action
#Else
Private Sub btnCancel_Click
#End If
   Hide
End Sub

Click event will be added in the next version of B4J.

- It depends on XUI v1.3+.
- If you are using a B4i version before 4.4 (stable) then you need to remove the reference to iDateUtils library and add the DateUtils code module instead. This is related to a bug fixed in B4i v4.4.
- You might see a warning while debugging about a missing RaiseSynchronousEvent attribute. You can ignore it. It is related to changing the text programmatically while handling the TextChanged event.
- This is quite a complicated custom view and it is a good example of using XUI library to write cross platform code.

Versions

1.03 - Fixes an issue with CloseAllDialogs always returning True (https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/b4x-xui-anotherdatepicker.85160/page-2#post-581920).
1.02 - Fixes an issue with dates before 1970.
1.01 - Sets the elevation of the dialog panel.

Latest version is attached separately.

Are there any specific OS requirements for this class/XUI library to run?

Tested with B4A 7.0 on GenyMotion emulator, compiled OK, no error, but when run on Android 4.2.2, forced closed.

That's the problem.

No Error log on B4A, compiled OK, but on the device (Genymotion), error message raised :
"Unfortunelly B4A Example has stopped."

Tested on Android 4.2.2 and 5.0.

I'm unable to reproduce it. Please try it with this code in the class:
B4X:
Private Sub DateField_TextChanged (Old As String, New As String)
   Dim ticks As Long = GetCurrentDateFromTextField (New)
   If ticks > 0 Then
       setDate(ticks)
       If dateField.IsInitialized = True Then dateField.SetColorAndBorder(dateField.Color, 2dip, 0xFFA1A1A1, 0)
       CallSub2(CallBack, EventName & "_DateChanged", ticks)
   Else
       If dateField.IsInitialized = True Then dateField.SetColorAndBorder(dateField.Color, 2dip, xui.Color_Red, 0)
   End If
End Sub

       If dateField.IsInitialized = True Then dateField.SetColorAndBorder(dateField.Color, 2dip, xui.Color_Red, 0)
   End If
End Sub

It works OK now.
The problem was in the "else" part of the If clause.
Thank you a lot @Erel
