B4A Library Dialogs library

Status
Not open for further replies.
This library contains several modal, that is blocking, dialogs by which the user can enter data. Presently they are an InputDialog for numbers and text, a TimeDialog for times and and a DateDialog for dates.

Note that modal dialogs can close unexpectedly and not return to your code if the Activity needs to close, most likely because the user rotated the device. There is a brief discussion of this in the overall library help in the xml. This can also occur with the Basic4android modal dialogs InputList, InputMultiList, Msgbox and Msgbox2 whose modal mechanism is used by the dialogs in this library.

it is possibile?

I have an dialog box with radio buttons.

I would like to "auto close" the dialog box when I choose an radio button. Is it possibile?

Sub rb_CheckedChange(Checked As Boolean)
Dim e As RadioButton

e= Sender
If e.Checked Then
' Close. Same as choose "ok" button
End If

End Sub

Yes,

you are right, but not in my case. With inputlist you can have only one radio button for each row. I have created more radio buttons on the same line

example

° A ° B ° C ° D ° E
° F ° G ° H ° I ° J

(excuse me for bad example)


so in this case dialog it's better. Is there a "close" property ?

thank you for your answer

It works! Great Job!

just a little strange behaviour. I have a button to call the dialog. If I click very very very quickly the BA4 opens 2 instance. So when you close the first, you still see your dialog (and you can't close it). But normally (normal click) it works without problem. I like to close all possible bugs.

How to check if dialog open is already running?

if db=null?

many thanks again

Define a global boolean: IsDialogOpened
Set it to true when you open the dialog and check whether it's true before displaying the dialog.

I made a change to Dialogs (now v2.93) that I would like to see made to the official version if you are willing. The change is:
  • Made the textview where the resulting color was displayed an edittext so that it could be used to enter text. So an associated SetText, GetText and SetHint were added along with the appropriate code. In my case I only needed to see the textcolor as black but I would assume others would want to change the textcolor as well. I only made changes to the colordialog but the other 2 color dialogs getting the same changes would be valuable to others as well.
Thanks for considering this...David

Is it possible to change the background colors to make the dialogs look more like InputMap and InputList ?

Hi,

I have a panel with a listview inside and I use the CustomDialog to show it on the screen.

Unfortunately the last line (line # 100) of the listview is not visible but it's covered by the button at the bottom of the dialog, see the attached image.

Is there a way to get the net inner height of the CustomDialog window (without the top title and the bottom buttons) so I can adjust the panel height?

Did you try the Better Dialogs library?

I am trying right now but the results are the same, take a look at the attached screenshot.

This is the code I am using to show the dialog:

B4X:
   Dim lvLog As ListView
    Dim BD As BetterDialogs

    lvLog.Initialize("lvLog")
   
    lvLog.Color=Colors.Yellow
    lvLog.SingleLineLayout.Label.TextColor=Colors.Black
    lvLog.SingleLineLayout.Label.Typeface=Typeface.DEFAULT_BOLD
    lvLog.SingleLineLayout.Label.TextSize=20
   
    Dim i As Int
    For i=0 To 100
        lvLog.AddSingleLine("This is line # " & i)
    Next
       
    If lvLog.Size>0 Then lvLog.SetSelection(lvLog.Size -1)
       
    Dim btnCancel As Button
   
    btnCancel.Initialize("")
    btnCancel.Text = "<Font Color='Yellow'>C</Font>ancel"
    btnCancel.TextColor = Colors.White
    'btnCancel.Background = CreateStateListDrawable
       
    BD.CustomDialog("Events Log",-1,-1,lvLog,100%x,PanelHeight,10dip,Colors.Yellow,Null,btnCancel,Null,False,"BD1")

Panelheight is a variable that contains the height of the upper side of the screen and is calculated like this:

PanelHeight=pnlButton.Top-2

where pnlButton is a panel at the bottom of the screen.

The output is like the one I got using Dialogs.

Apparently I found a way to show all the lines.

I ask for the height of the items of the listview and subtract that height from the DlgHeight parameter:


B4X:
Dim lvHeight As Float
 
lvHeight=lvLog.SingleLineLayout.ItemHeight
BD.CustomDialog("Events Log",-1,-1,lvLog,100%x,PanelHeight-lvHeight,10dip,Colors.Yellow,Null,btnCancel,Null,False,"BD1")
