With this view you can quickly and easily add good looking text fields, with title and or bottom text. Additionally you can make the TextField a button, so that you can open menus, but still keep the design of the text fields.
The view speeds up development because you don't have to worry about almost anything, it looks nice by default and is functional.
I spend a lot of time in creating views, like this and to create a high quality view cost a lot of time. If you want to support me and further views, then you can do it here by Paypal or with a coffee.
In B4J the view does not work properly yet, I am working on fixing the bugs. B4J works now
