B4A Library Clock-View

A "partial" wrap for this Github Project. When I have some more time available I will try to add some more features.

Posting:
1. The B4A sample project (b4aClock.zip)
2. LibRes.zip - extract it and copy the LibRes folder with its contents to be on the same folder level as that of the /Objects and /Files folders of the B4A project.
3. The Java code (library and wrapper) - change it to your liking....
4. B4A lib files (ClockLibFiles.zip). Extract the jar and xml and copy them to your additional libs folder.

Sample code:
B4X:
#Region  Project Attributes
    #ApplicationLabel: b4aClock
    #VersionCode: 1
    #VersionName:
    'SupportedOrientations possible values: unspecified, landscape or portrait.
    #SupportedOrientations: portrait
    #CanInstallToExternalStorage: False
#End Region

#AdditionalRes: ..\LibRes
#AdditionalJar: com.android.support:support-v4

#Region  Activity Attributes
    #FullScreen: False
    #IncludeTitle: True
#End Region

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.

Sorry for the mess, like you said before @Erel should be able to help, I hope
The folder's name must be "font" - not "fonts"

B4X:
invalid resource directory name: ..\libres fonts

I do put the lib res here:
1609091428795.png

So I tried again. It DOES compile. First things first - the APK posted DOES work!


So lib res is being found. And original post DOES compile.

However, your last build post now spits out above (during the compile). (but I noticed you commented out these two lines:
B4X:
'#AdditionalRes: ..\libres
'#AdditionalJar: com.android.support:support-v4

(perhaps due to testing you by accident left above commented out)

If I include the Jar - it does compile.
If I un-commment addtonalRes, it now does NOT compile. I get this:

B4X:
Organizing libraries.    (0.00s)
    (AndroidX SDK)
Generating R file.    Error
res\values\attrs.xml:7: error: Attribute "clock_type" already defined with incompatible format.
..\libres\values\attrs.xml:7: Original attribute defined here.
res\values\attrs.xml:38: error: Attribute "clock_value_type" already defined with incompatible format.
..\libres\values\attrs.xml:39: Original attribute defined here.
res\values\attrs.xml:44: error: Attribute "clock_value_disposition" already defined with incompatible format.
..\libres\values\attrs.xml:44: Original attribute defined here.
res\values\attrs.xml:49: error: Attribute "clock_value_step" already defined with incompatible format.
..\libres\values\attrs.xml:48: Original attribute defined here.

I should also point out that anytime I include or comment out the additional jar (or res), then I do a clean project - if you don't, then the last time you compile - the files stick around and you not notice your changes.


But the APK does run fine. If I comment out (thus include) the additional jar, then again it does compile. But now commenting out (include the res), then it does not compile - and we see attributes of clock_value seeming to be already defined.
