B4A Library ConnectPatternView

It is a wrap for this Github project. Posting the following:

1. B4A project
2. B4A library files.
3. Link to other jar files - download them from HERE and copy them to your additional library folder.
4. resource.zip - copy it to the B4A project so that it is on the same folder level as the Files and Objects folders
5. AdditionalLibsResource.zip - copy to it to the root folder of your additional library folder

Take note of the following code in the B4A project - set your paths up accordingly

#AdditionalRes: C:\Users\----------2\Documents\Basic 4 Android\JOHAN APPS\JHS LIBS\resource\b4a_appcompat, de.amberhome.objects.appcompat
#AdditionalRes: C:\ANDRIOD_SDK_TOOLS\extras\android\support\v7\appcompat\res, android.support.v7.appcompat

The lib allows you to:
1. use a pattern WITHOUT using the same node twice. Thus, define a start and end node not to be the same
2. Do not use a pattern where lines are crossing the same node
3. You can use either the standard filled color circles or a drawable that should be in the /Objects/res/drawable folder of the B4A project (ensure they are ready only - I have added some). Comment / uncomment line 64 of the B4A code to either use a drawable or the standard color filled circles.
4. Specify the standard circle color
5. Specify the color of the connecting lines
6. Specify the line thickness of the connecting lines.
7. Specify the Radius that will be used for the standard circles of the drawables

The below pics is the connecting pattern that I have used in the B4A code. It starts at the right top node... sure you will figure it out.

It has a nice animation. Use one of the following options:

    'cpv1.AnimationType = cpv1.ANIMATION_TYPE_BOTTOM 
    'cpv1.AnimationType = cpv1.ANIMATION_TYPE_NONE
    cpv1.AnimationType = cpv1.ANIMATION_TYPE_MIDDLE

You need to add your own B4A code to record and save the connecting pattern:

USING "lock3.png" in the /Object/res/drawable folder of the B4A project and setting it with
cpv1.addImage("lock3")

Using the standard color filled circles and not a drawable by commenting line 64 of the attached B4A project

It is a wrap for this Github project

Congrats.
It have like five to six events right ?

Not sure what you mean by 5 to 6 events...? These are the events that I have allowed for in the library:

• correct_pattern_entered (correct_pattern As Boolean)
• pattern_abandoned ( As )

I mean the original project.Btw what's the type of AS.

It was a typo - see the sample B4A project. It only raises an event in B4A without returning a value
