Bug? B4XImageView Tag field purpose?

[agraham]

B4XImageView has a Public Tag As Object field but if you try to use it it will be compiled as a gettag() method and cause a missing symbol compilation error.

Regex problem

I try App from @LucaMs. I put the code in B4XPage ( @Erel example ThreePagesExample). The code from @LucaMs is working fine, but in B4XPages i get error: B4A Version: 10.2 Java Version: 11 Parsing code. (0.18s) Building folders structure. (0.05s) Running custom action. (0.05s) Compiling...

www.b4x.com

Was there an intended use for this public field or is it a bug?

 

[LucaMs]

It works well:

 

[agraham]

Wrong! I am referring to B4XImageView NOT B4XView or ImageView.

Wrong! I am referring to B4XImageView NOT B4XView or ImageView.

Even with the B4XImageView the Tag property (or is it just a public variable?) does not give problems, works properly.

 

[agraham]

It compiles wrongly in the example I linked to which is why I want Erel's comment on it.

But we don't know what is the bug in that code; certanly not the Tag property of B4XImageView, which has no bugs.

 

[agraham]

In that example you can clearly see the original B4A code and the resulting Java code which has compiled the Tag field as a method access. I want Erels' comment on it.

 

[LucaMs]

@stari posted only a routine, not a project, so I assume you have compiled your own project, including his code; post it.

 

[agraham]

I'm not arguing any more. If you can't see my point then stop and wait for Erel to comment.

no, you have not compiled, you have read the error message.

Don't get nervous, it's not worth it.
Of course, I stop writing when I decide (or Erel, of course ?)

This is more or less the code posted by @stari. I wrote the string value of the Tag, obviously, he didn't; and this code doesn't produce that error.

Sub Class_Globals
    Private Root As B4XView
    Private xui As XUI
  
    Private TappedCard As B4XImageView
End Sub

Private Sub B4XPage_Created (Root1 As B4XView)
    Root = Root1
    Root.LoadLayout("MainPage")
  
    TappedCard.Tag = "abc_def.png"
  
    Dim card_name As String
    card_name = Regex.Split("_", TappedCard.Tag)(0).Replace("_", " ").Replace(".png", "")
    Log(card_name)
End Sub

Log:
abc

 

[LucaMs]

@stari has probably put some ImageViews in his layout; then, in the click event, he assigns the Sender object to a local variable of type B4XImageView and this is the problem.

Hello
I trayed your sample.
I create Page5 in project from @Erel, TrhePagesExample.
Exactly the code you wrote, i put in Page 5. And?
I get ste same error message:
Compiling generated Java code. Error
B4A line: 23
TappedCard.Tag = \
src\b4a\example\b4xpage5.java:102: error: cannot find symbol
__ref._tappedcard /*b4a.example.b4ximageview*/ ._settag((Object)("abc_def.png"));
^
symbol: method _settag(Object)
location: variable _tappedcard of type b4ximageview

 

[LucaMs]

I trayed your sample.

You can't write that you tried my example without indicating which one!

I had to look for it and I suppose you are referring to this:
https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/card-flip-flip-between-2-images.113408/post-708588

It has:

Sub Card_OneClick
    Dim Card As clsCard = Sender
    Card.FlipAnim(True)
End Sub

where, as you can see, the object clicked is of type clsCard, a class I created and included, not a B4XImageView or other stuff.
The project you attached here does not include that class (clsCard).

 

[LucaMs]

Found the problem.

My clsCard class uses @Star-Dust's SD_XUIVew library, which provides its own B4XImageView (same name, big problem!).

Thks.

Hmmm.. finally Star dust need to change it to sd_b4ximageview, right ?

@agraham
That project is based on sd_xuiview.

Can you upload a project based on XUI Views?

This code seems to work fine:

Private Sub B4XPage_Created (Root1 As B4XView)
    Root = Root1
    Root.LoadLayout("MainPage")
    Log(B4XImageView1.Tag)
End Sub

I believe it is sorted now.
