Android Question get information from .BAL file

[ilan]

hi

is it possible to get from the *.bal file created in the designer any information about all views that were created?

what i need is: name, left, top, height, width

Look at this https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...s-files-to-json-and-vice-versa.41623/#content and parse the Json

PERFECT, thank you

ok this is a nice way but too much to dig the values i need

is there another way to get those values:

View.Name
View.Width
View.Height
View.Left
View.Top

??

Load the layout and then get the views properties.

Did you try to:
1) convert bal to Json
2) parse the result json on b4j json online parsing?? (Search for at B4J Forum)
3) copy the code and paste on an B4j aplication

This way it seems not so dificult to get this props

2) parse the result json on b4j json online parsing?? (Search for at B4J Forum)

sounds really easy but dont know how to do it.

what i try to do is get all views (without knowing their names) and list them like this

view1.name
view1.width
view1.height
view1.top
view1.left

view2.name
view2.width
view2.height
view2.top
view2.left

...

do you think it could be possible to get that out of the Json file?

(making later the b4j app is not or problem just how to get all views listed like above )

can you upload samples of you bal´s converted to json?

 

[ilan]

sure

 

[DonManfred]

Ahh, i see. The jsontool is not really a help here... it is a kind of chaotic code which is generated
And seems to do not the work as expected

(with a bal from a own B4A app)

A bit more work to get the properties values and parent..

Will test later with ilan's Bal

Good luck

As stated; first part was easy, looking for Phase II (Parent and get views properties)

 

[inakigarm]

Not quite satisfied with result (need to study JSON to understand it ); the results are obtained modifying and searching the txt string and not recursively follow the JSON tree (this is why there're views that haven't a calculated parent - blank)

PD: the option of CSV Create is not enabled; if you needed, say it to me, it will be simple to add

Looks great, will take a look at it when i get home

Thank you!
