Hi guys GridView has been updated to version 3.70, what's new:



//*********************************************************************************

added:

InitializeFromLayout("GridView",Activity,"main","gridView") (for this please have a look in the Maifest)

Friction (slow down the scroll)

AddThisView


ShowFromBucket (Depends On from new library B4AMediaBucket I'll upload till to night)

//*********************************************************************************

changed:

ShowText to TextVisible

//*********************************************************************************

important:
Work with Layout and as CustoView check it out.

minor bug fixed

tested on android 5.0.1, 6.0 and 7.1.1 samsung s4 tab1 tab2 tab10.1 and Huawei P8 Lite.

I uploaded 3 files a demo, library and a pdf

Hi guys I forgot to say if U wish to Initialiize the GridView from layout You should write in the manifest example below:

B4X:
CreateResource(values, color.xml,

<resources>

    <color name="primary">#FF5722</color>
    <color name="primary_dark">#FF5722</color>
    <color name="sliddercolor">#50FF5722</color>
    <color name="back">#333333</color>

</resources>

)


to build your own gridview in the manifest as first you need this line below or U'll get an error

<it.giuseppe.salvi.gridview.library.core.gridview.GridViewCore



B4X:
CreateResource(layout, main.xml,

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:background="@color/sliddercolor"
    android:layout_gravity="center"
    android:gravity="center"
    android:orientation="vertical" >

<it.giuseppe.salvi.gridview.library.core.gridview.GridViewCore
    android:id="@+id/gridView"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:cacheColorHint="#00000000"
    android:choiceMode="multipleChoice"
    android:columnWidth="100dp"
    android:drawSelectorOnTop="false"
    android:gravity="center"
    android:horizontalSpacing="2dp"
    android:listSelector="@android:color/black"
    android:numColumns="2"
    android:paddingLeft="1dp"
    android:paddingRight="1dp"
    android:paddingTop="2dp"
    android:stretchMode="columnWidth"
    android:verticalSpacing="2dp" />
 
</LinearLayout>

)


P.S

You can use any layout: ( LinearLayout, RelativeLayout, FrameLayout )

I wish you all a Merry Christmas

Great Library, will definitely donate.
Two issues I cannot sort out.
I set ItemHeight / ItemWidth, but images are always square?
B4X:
    GridView.NumColumns = 3
    GridView.Itemwidth = 160dip
    GridView.ItemHeight = 210dip
    GridView.HorizontalSpacing = 50dip
    GridView.VerticalSpacing = 50dip
    GridView.Color = Colors.White
    GridView.SetBorderColor = Colors.White
    GridView.SetBorderWidth = 50dip
I need to read the filename of the image ("ugvuvu.jpg")
B4X:
Sub GridView_ItemClick(Position As Int, Value As Object)
    Log("Value: " & Value)
End Sub
gives me:
B4X:
Value: android.graphics.Bitmap@344ec3ea

Great Library, will definitely donate.
Two issues I cannot sort out.
I set ItemHeight / ItemWidth, but images are always square?
B4X:
    GridView.NumColumns = 3
    GridView.Itemwidth = 160dip
    GridView.ItemHeight = 210dip
    GridView.HorizontalSpacing = 50dip
    GridView.VerticalSpacing = 50dip
    GridView.Color = Colors.White
    GridView.SetBorderColor = Colors.White
    GridView.SetBorderWidth = 50dip
I need to read the filename of the image ("ugvuvu.jpg")
B4X:
Sub GridView_ItemClick(Position As Int, Value As Object)
    Log("Value: " & Value)
End Sub
gives me:
B4X:
Value: android.graphics.Bitmap@344ec3ea

Hi I think U shold use GetRealImagePath or GetItem

Can I set custom folder for CacheOnDisk feature? For example, set it to Dir.rootExternal?

Thanks, sorted.
how did you solve this ? I get the same error for the setText Method ..

Does anybody have an idea what's wrong?
urls is a list of image urls, and the images are loaded totally fine
however, I can't get the text to display

@lonleystar can you help?

B4X:
(NullPointerException) java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'void java.util.ArrayList.add(int, java.lang.Object)' on a null object reference

B4X:
GridView.ShowFromWeb(urls,False)
j=0
For Each linkmap As Map In links
  Try
     Dim lname As String = linkmap.get("name")
     GridView.SetText2(j, lname)
  Catch
     Log("error" & LastException)
  End Try
  j=j+1
Next

Hi guys I forgot to say if U wish to Initialiize the GridView from layout You should write in the manifest example below:
..
Unfortunately the demo app also doesn't work. I was hoping to download the demo app, and use it to place a comment below an image, but unfortunately after adding setText, it will crash with the error message ...

B4X:
GridView.SimulateGridWithList = True
GridView.ProgressBarIndeterminate = False
GridView.ProgressBarVisible = True
GridView.TextVisible=True
Try
    GridView.AddImageFromWeb("http://cdn4.spiegel.de/images/image-1098813-900_breitwand_180x67-lmhi-1098813.jpg")
    GridView.SetText("hello") 
Catch
    ToastMessageShow("issue " & LastException,True) 
EndTry

I would be more than happy to use this library, but there seems to be a major bug in setText, which prevents to use it.

Can you please provide a fix ?
I have a different implementation of a grid view which I did myself in my app, but I'd like to replace it with this library if possible.

Thanks

Well, those methods are not the problem.

I can successfully display the image.

setText does not work.

As I described above, I modified the example that you provided to include "setText"

But: it creates the above error message.

I installed B4AGridView 3.70 and B4A 6.50

Any idea?
