Share My Creation Draw electrical diagrams

Greetings!

This is my first application that I did with B4A.

This is an application for drawing electrical schemes

If you have time to test it and tell me your opinion ...


I would like to thank the entire community because I learned a lot from here .

From the video it looks really good. Although the music sounds like an 80's porn film :sign0142:

Before I download do you mind just telling me why the app needs network and phone calls persmissions? I like to be safe. Cheers

 

[Jaames]

Hehe . The music is chosen randomly..

Phone calls permission is i think becouse
I'm using prevent screen from sleep functions.

And network permission is becouse there is activation
process in-app (to buy full version)

Cheers

Hey Jaames,

The software looks really great!

Just thought I'd mention:

1) On the settings screen there is a typo in the screen header which says "Settingst". An extra "t" at the end.

2) In the help screen there is a typo in the screen header which says "nPlan Help" instead of "mPlan Help".

3) Also, in the help screen under section "4" it says "Mooving parts:". There is an extra "o".

Just thought I'd point it out so you can tidy it up for publishing. The software is very impressive.

Thank you very much Omar
I'll correct grammatical mistakes in next update.

Thans for testing.

Hello Jaames,

Congratulations on a superb looking design and application idea.
Although I have no immediate need for drawing circuits now, I wish I had this
when I tinkered my first 555 based Timer several decades ago. :sign0098:

555 timers , do they still exist? just joking ..

I do even simplest projects with PIC mcs , but I remember those 555 days , becouse I was into analog electronics few decades ago

Awesome app

Hi james, i just tested your app and let me tell you i love it, i'm an electronics engineer myself, so this will sure come in handy, i wanted to ask you, how did you accomplish the drop down menu when you press many there's a menu that gradually slides down from the top, how did you do this? is this a library? if so can you point me to it, i would like to use it in my next app.

Cheers,

first of all :
thanks for the good words

Drop down menu is not a library , it is very simple actualy.
Menu itself is a panel with buttons , its top position is 0(zero) - panel.height when it is hidden. So:

pnl_HorizontalMenu.Top = 0 - pnl_HorizontalMenu.Height ' a hidden position

Edit:
I forgot the timer initialisation:

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
TimerShowMeni.Initialize("TimerShowMeni",10)
TimerShowMeni.Enabled = False
...
End Sub

Displaying and hiding menu :

Just trigger the timer

Sub Activity_KeyPress (KeyCode As Int) As Boolean
      If KeyCode = KeyCodes.KEYCODE_MENU Then
         pnl_HorizontalMenu.BringToFront
         TimerShowMeni.Enabled = True
      End If
End If

and the timer code :

Sub TimerShowMeni_Tick
If ShowMeni = True Then
   pnl_HorizontalMenu.Top = pnl_HorizontalMenu.Top + 10
   If pnl_HorizontalMenu.top >= 0 Then
      pnl_HorizontalMenu.Top  = 0
      TimerShowMeni.Enabled = False
      ShowMeni = False
      Return
   End If
End If

If ShowMeni = False Then
    pnl_HorizontalMenu.Top = pnl_HorizontalMenu.Top - 12
    If pnl_HorizontalMenu.top + pnl_HorizontalMenu.height <= 0 Then
       pnl_HorizontalMenu.Top = 0 - pnl_HorizontalMenu.Height
       TimerShowMeni.Enabled = False
       ShowMeni = True
    End If
End If
End Sub

and that's it . I hope I helped you
Cheers!

Thanks

Thank you very much James, i will use this in my next app.

Thanks,

You welcome , I'm glad I helped you

It looks very good. And it works very well in my SGII.

One thing: One does need to read the help to figure out how to use it. And the location of the help button is not so obvious.

Thanks, and another thanks for testing

this app is quite complicated to accomplish, so far this is the easiest way to use it. Of Course I'll keep improving it.

And the location of the help button is not so obvious.

I'll take that in mind with next update. Thanks again.

Nice!!!, let me see if I can design a Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator

It looks good on a Galaxy Tab I tell you that.

No Google Play Here

I want to test your app on My Cruz T410 I do not have google play on it.
It uses Amazon market.
Do you have the apk link.
Thanks

 

[kanaida]

very cool! I tried to write an actual eletrical circuit simulator once in vb.net, man that was a mind twister and a half computing connected values and trying to figure out what to do to voltage from terminal to terminal when you had series + parallel stuff. Never did get it to work right Just when I thought I made progress I'd have to re-design the fundamentals again lol

 

[jorgerhv]

mPlan price ?

I can't see the price.
