B4A Library [Class] TableView - Supports tables of any size

An improved version of this class is available here: http://www.b4x.com/forum/additional...icial-updates/30649-class-flexible-table.html


The Table class allows you to show tables of any sizes. The views (labels) are reused to avoid creating many views.

With the help of StringUtils the table can be loaded and saved to a CSV file. It shouldn't be difficult to show SQL tables using DBUtils.ExecuteMemoryTable.

Follow the attached example to see how the class is used. To add it to your own project you need to add the class module to your project and add a reference to StringUtils library.

RemoveRow code is available here: http://www.b4x.com/forum/showpost.php?p=146795&postcount=147

V1.10 uploaded. New method: SetColumnsWidths. Allows you to manually set the width of each column
V1.11 uploaded. Fixes a bug with grey stripes appearing.

I'm trying to use the delete row kindly provided by merlot2309

B4X:
Public Sub DeleteRow

    Dim Row As Int

    Row = SelectedRow
    Data.RemoveAt(Row)

    Dim lastRow As Int
    lastRow = Data.Size - 1
    For i = lastRow To 0 Step -1
        If lastRow < (SV.VerticalScrollPosition + SV.Height) / RowHeight + 1 Then
            ShowRow(lastRow)        
        End If
        SelectRow(lastRow)
        SV.Panel.Height = Data.Size * RowHeight
        lastRow = lastRow -1
    Next

    SV.Panel.Height = Data.Size * RowHeight
    
End Sub

I have two problems:

1. the ScrollView SV doesn't have the object variable verticalscrollposition in the TableView class.

2. SelectRow always returns -1 so is out of bounds.

I may be missing something or the TableView class has been updated not sure?

Any help would be great

Hi,
when i remove (Table1.Initialize) and make it once i get this error (even when i put (Table1.ClearAll) first

Act.AddView(SV, Left, Top + RowHeight, Width, Height - RowHeight)
java.lang.IllegalStateException: The specified child already has a parent. You must call removeView() on the child's parent first.


Thank you for your time

Table - run first time

I have setup a very basic structure for the Table but I get an error on running the application (no errors in compile). The error I get is:

An error has occurred in sub: table_setcolumnswidths(B4A line: 49) v.Width=Widths(i) - 1dip java.lang.RuntimeException: Object should first be initialized (View).

Here is my code related to the Table:

B4X:
'Activity module
Sub Process_Globals
   'These global variables will be declared once when the application starts.
   'These variables can be accessed from all modules.
   
   
End Sub

Sub Globals
   'These global variables will be redeclared each time the activity is created.
   'These variables can only be accessed from this module.
   Dim sms1 As PhoneSms
   Dim Table1 As Table
   Dim Button1 As Button
   Dim Button2 As Button
   Dim Button3 As Button
   
End Sub

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
   Dim i As Int
   
   'Do not forget to load the layout file created with the visual designer. For example:
   Activity.LoadLayout("main")
   
   'Create Table using table class
   Table1.Initialize(Me, "Table1", 5)
   Table1.AddToActivity(Activity, 0, 75%y, 100%x, 70%y)
   Table1.SetColumnsWidths(Array As Int(95dip, 70dip, 40dip, 70dip, 70dip))
   Table1.SetHeader(Array As String("Bill Name", "Amount $$", "Due", "Status1", "Status2"))
   Table1.AddRow(Array As String("Mortage", "$1200", "12", "Not Paid", "Not Paid"))

I have not written anymore code conserning the table until I can get pas this problem. My goal is a table 75% of screen in height from the bottom upwards with the top 25% open for other things like buttons.

Possibly the problem is in the size delcaration?

Error in Class Table

Just a quick note, on something I've just found

If we use the table class together with an SQL DB, if a field is empty (null), the class will thrown an error, and will not work.

So make sure all your fields are populated, or check programmatically and change to something as NA, before calling Table.AddRow.

Attached you find a modified version of the Table class with horizontal scrolling with the ScrollView2D object and columns with different widths.

Best regards.

EDIT: 2012.07.15
Updated the project with Erels version V1.11 fixing the grey line problem.

EDIT: 2012.12.07
Added project V1_13 with highlighting of the selected cell.
The colors can be changed in the Table module at lines 79, 80, 81 , 87.

Thanks for this fine Class, I'm planning to use it for my new app. I managed to incorporate the class and adapted the main routine to my needs.

At some point in my app I need a value that is in the last row of the table, in column 2. But I don't know which is the last row!

I know I can get a value from the table with code like
B4X:
LaatsteKM = Tabel.GetValue(2, 26)
But the 26 should be a variable pointing to the last row in the table Tabel.

Erel,

Thanks very much.
I modified it a bit because I want the index of the last item in the table.
Therefore I use

B4X:
Public Sub LastEntry As Int
   Return Data.Size-1
End Sub

Unselect ROW ?

Hi Erel, and Happy New Year for all the members !

I want to Unselect a ROW selected by inadvertently, because in my program there are conditions if a row is selected in the rest of my conditions, and we can't unselect, just pass one by one...

I would like just a public sub in the class for unselect this SelectedRow... Thank's !

(excuse my poor english, i'am a poor french !)

It works like a charm ! :sign0098:
But..:)

I have a small problem,because I am using it with sliding panels,and sometimes is a little tricky instead of scrolling horizontaly the table, I slide the panel ...

so I considering using 2 buttons (left-right) to scroll the table,just to be sure the user will be happy...

some small code ,please,if it's not big trouble ? ?
