Android Question Convert Java code to b4x code

[Chris Guanzon]

Hello, can someone help me how to convert this to b4x code?

I've already read this https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...h-additionaljar-and-javaobject-picasso.40904/ .

I have no idea how to use it in b4a.

You need to use JavaObject or write a wrapper with java for this Api.
For both you need some java knowledge.

If you are not able to do it by yourself then you can create a thread in the JobForum and pay someone to do the Job.

Hello sir DonManfred, i'm getting confused. Can i just use the #additionaljar like the post here https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...h-additionaljar-and-javaobject-picasso.40904/ ? because i have the .jar file and the documentation of the sdk. Will this work?

 

[DonManfred]

like the post here https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...h-additionaljar-and-javaobject-picasso.40904/ ?

As seen in the post you need to use JavaObject to access the Methods.

Again: you need some java-knowledge.

Just adding it with AdditionalJar alone will not work.

By the way, is this actual working code? ITYSmartPosApi is an abstract java class. No java expert here, but I did not think you can instantiate an abstract class. Looks like the class you should be using is TYSmartPosApi and its located at com.whty.smartpos.tysmartposapi.impl

Source to library:

Java Abstraction

Data abstraction is the process of hiding certain details and showing only essential information to the user.

Hi @OliverA, is the method used in here https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...h-additionaljar-and-javaobject-picasso.40904/ works for me? Or i need to do a different approach?

By the way, is this actual working code?

yes it is.

You can use nearly every Api with JavaObject. Even this one.
I personally prefer writing a wrapper with Java.
