B4A Library KatexMathView

It is a wrap for this Github project. No other libs required other than the attached B4A libraries. Extract them and copy them to your additional library folder.

You need to download and extract this folder (https://www.dropbox.com/s/1sthbkm5vc7fa0h/katex.zip?dl=0) and copy the folder with its contents to be under the /Files folder of the B4A project i.e.

Files
katex
....a number of files and folders....
Posting:
1. B4A library files
2. B4A sample project.

Sample code:
B4X:

Sub Process_Globals
    'These global variables will be declared once when the application starts.
    'These variables can be accessed from all modules.

Sub Globals
    'These global variables will be redeclared each time the activity is created.
    'These variables can only be accessed from this module.

End Sub

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
    'Do not forget to load the layout file created with the visual designer. For example:

Sub Activity_Resume



End Sub

Sub Activity_Pause (UserClosed As Boolean)

End Sub

See what I have done to change the formulas to display correctly.

You can download it and test if but if you want to use it you need to

I get the result text correct only in release mode. In debug it shows the text as in the code...

Can't make these show "≠" :
B4X:
$  \{=}\mathllap{/}  $
$  \mathrlap{/}{=}   $
The character itself also does not show.

With this view I have made an application that enables the user to write two pages of formulas and publish them with whatsapp to someone else (probably a student ?).
Though you can always write it on a piece of paper and make a photo of it, but what if you are in the desert and you don't have paper and pen ?
Thank you again Johan.

In that case I wouldn't dare to ask where the cell tower could be.. eheh
 
hi
here is important option of KaTeX like displayMode and leqno that could be used somewhere in java code like this :
katex.render("c = \\pm\\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}\\in\\RR", element, { displayMode: true, leqno: false , macros: { "\\RR": "\\mathbb{R}" } });
please put their booleans value a option or method of your library and save my life!
