iOS Question B4xRotary problem with Designer Script

[james_sgp]

Hi, my B4i app keeps crashing at the Designer Script when using the B4XRotary class; trying to set Left/Top/Width. If I put the Left & Top positions into my code its ok, but I cant put width there either without the app crashing; but wondering why I`m getting this problem.

What is B4XRotary? Where is the error message?

 

[james_sgp]

b4Xrotary is rotary knob class.

I have tried a simple app with only the rotary know in it; and the designer script doesn`t crash. So i would guess the DS is conflicting with something else in my app?

 

[Erel]

I don't see how we can help you with the information you provided. Sorry.

 

[james_sgp]

Erel,
But thats all I`m getting... the compiler is just throwing that message...

James

 

[james_sgp]

Here is a small app (1 panel, with some object, no code) showing the problem I`m getting. If I uncomment the designer script for 'rotary1' the app crashes during compilation.

Hi Erel,
I see it too.
In the attached project, with the xRotaryKnob.b4xlib, it works the first time. And stopping the program and running it again, in the IDE, the program crashes with the error below:

Doesn't happen here. Tested with the project in post #7.

Where does this come from:
TestRotaryKnobProperties1 0x00000001002038a4 -[B4IViewWrapper setLeft:] + 52
TestRotaryKnobProperties1 0x00000001001fd730 -[LS_main LS_general:::] + 244

?

The only designer script that I see is the call to AutoScaleAll.

 

[james_sgp]

Erel, I was told not to use the B4xlib but rather the class as it wasnt for B4i (see my file on post 6).

 

[klaus]

Sorry, I posted an incomplete project, I made quite some tests and posted the wrong one.
Further tests show that the problem happens when using the class file in the project instead of the b4xlib.
Attached the 'new' project.
Then, removing the xRotaryKnob module, and using the xRotaryKnob.b4xlib the problem persists.
And then, commenting these two lines in Designer Script it works again.
'xRotaryKnob1.Left = 10
'xRotaryKnob1.Top = 50

 

[klaus]

Erel, I was told not to use the B4xlib but rather the class as it wasnt for B4i (see my file on post 6).

Who told you this?
The xRotaryKnob.b4xlib is cross-platform.
In your post HERE, you posted in the RotaryKnobView which is B4A only and I suggested you to look at the xRotaryKnob Class.

 

[Erel]

Further tests show that the problem happens when using the class file in the project instead of the b4xlib.

The b4xlib is the recommended way to use this library. If it works fine then we can close this issue.

You did Klaus...haha

Erel,

I cant try the B4XLib at the moment, as I`ve broken my app now with separating the panels out and making everything B4XView; I can`t get it to run.

 

[james_sgp]

Guys,

I still get exactly the same problem in my Post 6 app, using the Class or the B4X library....? I`m pulling my freaking hair out now....

 

[klaus]

You did Klaus...haha

I think that you misunderstood in my post: xRotaryKnob Class ! This is the title of the thread I was suggesting you.

The b4xlib is the recommended way to use this library. If it works fine then we can close this issue.

I don't think so.
The problem is that once you have used the class module, remove it and use the library, the problem persists?
That's what james_sgp is getting.
It works only when you remove the lines in the Designer Script as described in post#10.

 

[Erel]

I guess that a compiled resource was kept when you removed the module and switched to the library and caused this problem. Cleaning the project would have probably solved it.

 

[klaus]

I found the problem:
The original code:

    Page1.RootPanel.LoadLayout("Main")
    NavControl.ShowPage(Page1)

It MUST be:

    NavControl.ShowPage(Page1)
    Page1.RootPanel.LoadLayout("Main")

The LayoutLoad must be after ShowPage!

Cleaning the project would have probably solved it.

No, it didn't, I had tested it.

 

[james_sgp]

Even I make a new clean project, and put B4X library in and cleaning before compiling....I`m getting same error!
