B4A Library [BETA] [B4A Lib] AhaActionBar (Actionbar, Navigation Drawer + Menu)

Hi!

I wrote a small B4A Library that offers a simple ActionBar in conjunction with a NavigationDrawer. A Simple Menu is also included.

Usage
o) Copy jar and xml to your Additinal Libraries folder
o) Unzip the ahaActionbarexample.zip and have a look
o) This lib needs animation and reflector library

Attention: If you want to include the lib in your app, don't forget to copy the drawables (drawables.zip) into your Objects/res/drawables directory.
Drawables for Light and Dark Theme are included.

On this Screenshots are 2 ActionBars. The AB on the Top has as Parent the Activity, the AB below has a panel as parent:

The example should be pretty self-explanatory

Hope you like it!
Btw: as its still beta, Bugs and wishes are welcome

The Sliding mechanism of the Navigationdrawer is inspired by the Sliding Sidebar from Informatix

Added new version, much smoother and many animations
Sourcecode also added

I get error while extracting ahaActionBar.xml from ahaActionBar.zip. ahaActionBar.jar is extracted without errors.

Thank's.

ActionBarExample.b4a: AB.CreateNavigationDrawer requires paramaters which are not supported in the example.

In the example I have if it works well
AB.CreateNavigationDrawer ("Main", Null)

First object refers to the Activity Module
Second be referred to if you have associated an event, if there is no event put Null

Thank you

The ahaActionBar.zip file is corrupted...

I used Zip repair (http://www.diskinternals.com/zip-repair/) to repair the file and it worked

Hello !
Very nice job !!!!!

...but I've a small issue when I try to set the size of the navigation drawer (NDWidth), it's not working.

I've edited the setNDWidth sub in ahaActionBar class like this, and now, it work :

Public Sub setNDWidth (NDWidth As Int)
     mSideBarWidth = NDWidth
     pnlNavigationDrawer.Width = mSideBarWidth
     If pnlNavigationDrawer.Left <> 0 Then
          pnlNavigationDrawer.Left = - mSideBarWidth
          lsvNavigationDrawer.width = mSideBarWidth-1
     End If
End Sub

could you confirm ?

Hi,

I need to access the ActionButton properties, in order to Hide, Disable or remove ActionButtons.

How I can do that ?

Interesting, how do we get to the clicks of the Navigation drawer?

Hi,
Noticed that it says this is a Beta. Just wondering is there now a release version that isn't a beta ?

I was hoping to create a menu like the following but don't want to use a beta..

You can use a hidden spinner and activate it when the menu button is clicked if you want to do it yourself.

What is the bug? This is RiverRaid's lib btw, not mine, and if you want an actionbar in your app there are much better libraries now like Corwin42's StdActionBarHelper
