B4A Library [Library] ICOSSlidingDrawer

Hi guys, today I am pleased to add to forum another gem, ICOSSlidingDrawer 1.0 the real SlidingDrawer.
You can load the layout previously created with visual designers, you can add any Visual, you can remove the single view or the entire layout etc.etc.etc. It's easy to use, all you need to do, take a look at the demo.

Installation instructions:​

- Copy the ICOSSlidingDrawer.xml and ICOSSlidingDrawer.jar files to your custom libraries folder
- Copy the res directory to your projects "Objects" folder
- Make all files copied to the Objects/res folder read only.

Any comments and any thanks will be appreciated.

Hi Informatix i´ve only galaxy tab 7 the first one and the new Galaxy Tab Note 2 10.1.

Download again the library and let me know also wich phone u have please.

Same error with the emulator. It's maybe a problem with the OS. I tested only with Gingerbread.

Hi Informatix, yes you're right, I am using Android APIs 16, to get some new future.

I'm already working to resolve this problem immediately.

Nb.

With Android 3.0 to 4.1 work fine.

Hi Informatix, i fixed the library now works with froyo and gingerbread. the only limitation is that you can only use two orientations, SlidingFromBottom and SlidingFromRight ( this 2 orienations only for fr
oyo and gingerbread ) from Honeycomb to jelly bean u can use all four orientations.

I tried the new version and I had no crash with it. LoadLayout 1 & 2 does not display anything on my phone. And the handle goes back and forth quickly before opening/closing the drawer; that does not look like a wanted effect.

Hi informatix, I can't understand, why to you does not work.

Anyway this is a image of ICOSSlidingDrawer while running on Froyo emulator.

@lonleystar

Buon compleanno!

:wav:

I tried your demo as well and as mentioned by Informatix, the imageviews are not loaded with their images. I tried both on Gingerbread and JB.

Shall we add Activity.LoadLayout("1") and Activity.LoadLayout("2") to the code? In activity_create?

I can confirm I can see the problem with the handle too.

Maybe you can re-upload a new demo when you have free time. Maybe something is missing?

 

[moster67]

Ahh...now I understand. You must load actitivity using Altro in Menu.

However, I confirm I can see the problem with the handle too.

Ciao

non sono italiano ma abito in Italia da tanti anni. Il mio italiano scritto non è il massimo ma provo a spiegarti lo stesso

Non appena che tocco "la maniglia" o la freccia (se lo uso), sia la maniglia che l'imagine (presumo che si trova su un panel) si alza e si abassa oppure va a sinistra e a destra (secondo dove faccio partire lo slide) per poi fare lo slide in modo normale. Questo accade anche quando "tiro" lentamente la maniglia. Questo crea un strano effetto - sembra che "salta". Non so se è voluto. Si vede abbastanza bene nel video che Informatix ha postato.

Spero che sia più chiaro il problema.

ciao adesso e chiaro la maniglia non si trova in un pannello ma fa parte dello SlidingDrawer Library di android , questo strano effeto che voi vedete non e altro che un´animazione.

Se tu vai nella demo su a_OnScrollStarted ed elimini a.StartAnimationFromRes="layout_up_animation" vedrai che non avrai piu questo strano effetto.

per quanto riguarda il layout se tu chiami Activity.LoadLayout("2") la layout verra caricata nell´Activity

per caricare la layout creata da te in precedenza con visual designer, devi usare a.LoadLayout("2")
non necessariamente devi usare il menu puoi usare anche dei button o qualcosaltro per richiamare la layout nello SlidingDrawer.

Cordiali Saluti
