B4A Library CarouselView - a Carousel for displaying images

A wrapper for this Github project. posting the following:
1. B4A library files - copy them to your additional library folder
2. B4A project to demonstrate the library

You will need to have android-support-v4.jar in your additional library folder. You can download it from here:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/qmggn0wm5a6bqa9/android-support-v4.jar?dl=0

It can used in Auto or Manual mode to display the images that were added to the carousel. It has a nice page indicator that can be customised (outline color, circle size, fill color, etc)

There seem to be a problem with the B4A project posted in Post #1 - brought to my attention by @Mahares (thanks Ali - much appreciated). Please use the attached B4A project. Files have been moved to the /Object/res/layout and /Objects/res/values folders of the B4A project. Make sure they are set to READ ONLY after you have unzipped the project and before you run it for the first time. The library files as per post #1 remain unchanged.

Will remove the B4A project in post #1 and post an update there too.

Really appreciate your excellent work.

Do this CarouselView has a click METHOD ?, so that we can do some action when the user clicks on any of the picture in CarouselView. For eg we could provide a pinch and zoom view of the clicked picture etc.

Anser

@Mahares suggested that I add a label to the carousel in order to display a title for the current/active image. The easiest way to do this was to return the index of the image being displayed to the B4A project via an event and then use the index to select the correct image title from an array of strings that was defined in the B4A project. Posting the updated B4A library files and a sample project. Copy/replace the library files to/in your additional library folder.

You would still need android-support-v4.jar in your additional library folder - see the link to it in post #1 of this thread.

Hello dear Johan.
Really a very good library, it would be possible to add a method to intercept a click ?
Thank you very much and great work as usual ;)

Hello dear Johan.

Thank you very much and great work as usual ;)

New library files attached (V1.01). It will raise an event in the B4A project when.....
cv1.DisableAutoPlayOnUserInteraction = True
.....and the user starts scrolling manually when autoscroll was active.

Add this sub to the B4A project:
B4X:
Sub cv1_scroll_stopped
  
    Log("auto scroll stopped due to user drag")
  
End Sub

Hi Johan great work with this rel ;)
I was see this 2 events.
when i raise event stop corousel ( scroll_stopped ) it gives me a value ... the problem and that if i continue to do the manual scrolling the event is no longer updated.

I had it like that originally but took it out as event picture_changed will still be fired when you scroll/drag the pictures manually. But if you want it I will put it back i.e event scroll_stopped will also be fired when you scroll / drag manually. Let me know if it is necessary and I will modify the lib....

Yes great Johan.
Example:
i have 5 picture, i scroll with hand the 1 pictures... and i have scroll_stopped for this time that give me is picture X. If i continue i have picture_changed that give me value.. and so when i get to the third piture, it would like if i click on the corousel that triggered the event. Because so i have name ... but i click about carousel nothing happens, so i think with these two event we have control, but it remains to add the click event (to get the maximum from the library).

Hi great Johan :) .
You are always available as usual. Sorry for later my response..... Already Better.
The problem is that this event ( picture_touched ) always fire.
it would take a long type touch event when the user touches the image for more time (just a longtouch) triggered the event.

it would take a long type touch event when the user touches the image for more time (just a longtouch) triggered the event.
Try attached lib files and project (I have also left the original touch event in the code). Added:
B4X:
Sub cv1_picture_long_touched(position As Int)
 
    Log("Picture Long Touched = " & fruit(position))
 
End Sub

When you touch the image for more than 1 second and lift your finger the event will be fired.

B4X:
#Region  Project Attributes
    #ApplicationLabel: CarouselView
    #VersionCode: 1
    #VersionName:
    'SupportedOrientations possible values: unspecified, landscape or portrait.

What do you mean?
Sorry I mean if user slide at last of image, it should repeat to number 1 again (unlimited scrolling) currently if user slide the image, it stucked at last position cannot move to first position again, but autoplay can automatically scroll to first image after last image
(first to last) or (last to first) slide

One question, it must be created with the designer only, or with code too?

I try with code a does not work for me.

Thanks

Perhaps you are doing something wrong in your code. The attached project works perfectly when adding it via code.
