B4A Library MaskProgressView

The attached project wraps this Github project. You can use it as a normal progress indicator (the one on the left) or as a progress indicator for a music player:
1. If used as a normal progress indicator it should be driven by a timer or something similar that can set the mask position
2. If used as a progress indicator for a music player then the duration (for eg that of a mp3 song) should be set - see the example B4A project.

You need to download the library files from here
https://www.dropbox.com/s/g5m1ok1n7siofhn/AllRequiredFiles.zip?dl=0

Unzip it and copy:
1. the jar and xml files to your additional library folder
2. Mexican-whistler.mp3 to the /Files folder of the attached B4A project


The attached lib files are the B4A lib files only - they are also included in the zipped files that has been posted in Dropbox (link above).
You can change the playing position of the song by dragging the mask of the progress view (for the mask progress view on the right hand side of the display.

Note the files in the /resources folder of the B4A project in case you want to start a new project from scratch.

Note: I have not added all the code for Pause / Play / Next / Previous to the example - you can do so as it is simple to do.

There seem to have been a problem with the B4A project posted in Post #1. Please use the new B4A project in post #1. Files have been moved to the /Object/res/xml and /Objects/res/values folders of the B4A project. Make sure they are set to READ ONLY after you have unzipped the project and before you run it for the first time. The library files as per post #1 remain unchanged.
