B4A Library [B4X] [XUI] AS ViewPager based on xCustomListView

Alexander Stolte · Apr 22, 2020

Hey,
thanks to @KZero for his good zPager class, i was able to extract a few things from it to make this cross platform view.

I spend a lot of time in creating views, some views i need by my self, but some views not and to create a high quality view cost a lot of time. If you want to support me, then you can do it here by Paypal or with a coffee.

This library is compatible and tested with B4A,B4I and B4J!
If you have bugs or a wish then tell me it in the comments.

On B4J use the LEFT and RIGHT keys on your keyboard to change the page.
~~On B4I you need the GestureRecognizer class. Download it down below.~~

B4j: jXUI,JavaObject,jPager,jReflection
B4a: XUi,Reflection,xCustomListView
B4i: iXUI,xCustomListView

Features

cross-platform compatible
based on a cross-platform ListView

a good swipe feeling

When I do a quick swipe up (release mode, B4i) it jumps to the next tab, can it be disabled?

Attached is a beta version. Tell me if it works for you.
It should work in B4A too.

angel_ · Aug 11, 2021

Thank you very much, it really works better than before but it still happens if the screen has a long list of elements (in this case a text list), it also happens frequently if we scroll from top to bottom but it is somewhat less problematic

strange, if the y value is greater than the x value, then it should stay on the side and not change sides. Does it stay on the side?

Alexander Stolte · Aug 11, 2021

I have a similar problem with a paused project where I use 2 ViewPagers, one Horizontal and the other Vertical and whenever I swipe horizontally the vertical one feels addressed too.

angel_ · Aug 11, 2021

I have also observed (now on Android), that if you do the fast (unnatural) swipe up or down it jumps to another tab [v1.21]

Alexander Stolte · Aug 12, 2021

Try it now on B4A.

This is fixed, thank you

But another problem happens, if I change the focus (by code with the event) when pressing the tab, the tab line moves to the selected tab, returns to the previous one and finally returns to the selected tab

Alexander Stolte · Aug 12, 2021

I had the same problem, because you set the tab in the "PageChange" event, but at the same time the TabClick event is triggered.

The solution is to change the TabMenu tab in the "PageChange" event without triggering the event.

B4X:

Private Sub ASTabMenu1_TabClick(index As Int)
    ASViewPager1.CurrentIndex = index
End Sub

Private Sub ASViewPager1_PageChange(Index As Int)
    ASTabMenu_horizontal.SetTab(Index,False,False) 'with event = false
End Sub

I have tried this solution but the same thing happens

You need to add first the width/height and then load the layout:

B4X:

Dim tmp_xpnl As B4XView = xui.CreatePanel("")
tmp_xpnl.SetLayoutAnimated(0,0,0,ASViewPager1.Base.Width,ASViewPager1.Base.Height)
tmp_xpnl.LoadLayout("xclv")

I'm using ASViewPager in a B4J project
I'm probably not handling resize correctly, because when I resize the window containing the ASViewPager, all other views resize correctly, but the content of the ViewPager itself is unaffected
What am I missing?

Make a new thread and make a example project what the issue shows, thanks.
