Android Question How to add a .bas file to a project?

[Volodya1000]

I want to add this library to my project.
https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/b4x-xui-as-bottom-menu-v2.102911/
But after adding the file to the additional libraries folder, I still don’t see this library in the list of libraries in b4a.

How to add a .bas file to a project?

technically, there's nothing stopping you from putting it in the add'l libraries folder, but it won't be recognized as an additional library by the ide. it's a class module that you include in your app through the ide, as per the attached image. point the ide to wherever it is you downloaded and saved the .bas file and link to it or copy it to your project. you can save it wherever you want to, but you have to point the ide to it. you then link to it or copy it to the project. it's sort of like including libraries from the add'l libraries folder but with an extra step or 2. clear?

wrong. adding files is not the same as adding a module. adding files has nothing to do with including code modules or classes to a project.

Got project-Add Existing Module

then he has to point the ide to the existing module (wherever it was that he downloaded and saved it). if he put it in the add'l libraries folder, he tells the ide to find it there. if he saved it to the desktop, he tells the ide to find it there. it's just like any file chooser dialog. it doesn't happen automatically.
