Android Question [B4XPages] Is there a timeline component that someone did?

I'm in need of a timeline component that could be used across platforms.e g.

Extended example?

Is there something like this that has been done by someone?

Thanks

i once had plans to make one, but in the end i had no idea how to make it easy to use and develop.

Still interested?
Yesterday, waiting for dinner, I jotted down a few code lines and in no time (thanks to our beloved B4X language and enviroment) I came up with something very similar to your first example.
Let me know if you'd like a copy of the project "as-is" just to have a look at one of many ways to achieve your goal or if the attached image is enough to motivate you to develop your TimeLine object.
Unfortunately these days I can't devote time to programming, so I doubt I will experiment further with it.

I imagine many members of the forum would like you to upload it.

Please @udg please upload the code thanks a lot.

Here it is. Sorry for the delay, but I had a long videomeeting.

Note: you'll easily recognize it as a fully experimental code; just (eventually) keep the concepts but carefully revise the code if you plan to use it somehow.

Thank you

It's raining (and still a bit cold) so my morning walk is deferred..
That gave me enough time to add the second timeline scheme proposed in post #1.
Note: for both schemes I worked only on B4J for immediacy (to be honest, only now I saw that the thread is in the B4A section..coffe, pleaseeeee!)



Note2: I really need to repeat it: the attached code is more a proof-of-concept than real code, so revise it carefully if you intend to use it "as is" or as a base for a Custom View or any other component

Thank you, @udg; don't worry, you'll also have a meter of snow next weekend ?

Hmmm, enough time to build my sleigh..
