Android Question FloatLabeledEditText - How to change background color and make borders visible

rgarnett1955 · Jul 8, 2020

Hi,

I am using the FloatLabeledEditText view and have set the Base Background to ColorDrawable = White (#FFFFFFFF) and the Border Color = Black (#FF000000), but when i run it the view is transparent with no border. Pl's see attached screen shot. I set the values in the designer and am using the views in a save dialog.

What I wish to do is:

Make the background of the edit box white alpha = 1.0
Make the border visible, width 2dpi and color dark gray
Make the cursor black
Make the cancel and save button text larger, bold and black

I need this as the phone is being used in the vegetable garden in sunlight and thus needs good contrast.

Best regards

Rob

Have you taken a look at B4XFloatTextField customview in XUI Views library. It is a much newer version of FloatLabel. You can set many of its properties via designer and programmatically. You can also expose the native edittext like this: For instance:

B4X:

Dim et As EditText = B4XFloatTextField1.TextField 'expose native view to give it a nice full border and rounded corner 
    Dim cd As ColorDrawable
    cd.initialize2(XUI.Color_ARGB(1,255,255,255),10dip, 5dip,XUI.Color_DarkGray)
    et.Background=cd

Hi,

Thank's for that.

Will give it a go.

Do you know if anyone posted a working example using this lib?

Best regards

The Visible and Enabled Properties can be set in designed for these views, but these properties don't seem to be available in the code? Am I missing somethin?

Cross platform code:

B4X:

B4XFloatTextField1.TextField.SetColorAndBorder(xui.Color_White, 2dip, xui.Color_Red, 2dip)
B4XFloatTextField1.TextField.Enabled = False 'disable
B4XFloatTextField1.mBase.Visible = False 'hide
