Android Tutorial ✅ Match the flags. Simple XUI cross platform game tutorial for new B4X B4A developers - Newer developers

Hello B4X'ers,
This morning as my new clients are currently beta testing software that I developed for them using B4J ?, I thought to myself lets create a quick and simple game using B4A for the influx of new B4X developers that will be happening in the near future

I decided to modify and use the flip cards code that I previously posted to help me create this game, this is to show developers new to the B4X suite of development tools just how quick and simple it can be to create a simple game using B4A. Whilst using my previously posted code to create this game, I realised that there were a couple of issues with that code. I've now resolved those issues and re-uploaded the flip cards code file for all to use.

So taking into consideration that this morning I had to resolve issues with the flip cards code, resolving those issues and using that code to create this extremely simple game took me about 2 hours in total to complete. I've tried to make the code as simple as possible for all new B4X developers to follow as I've added comments throughout the whole code.

Note: The downloaded source code includes both B4A and B4i projects. Ignore the initial missing files warnings, just run the project and the files WILL be copied over.

I haven't see the code but this example is a good for teaching B4X. Thanks.

I suppose I'm part of the "influx of new B4X developers"! I'm not sure I'll stick with it, but it's interesting to get an idea of how it works. Loading a library (that SD_XUIView one) had some challenges, but I suppose learning how to do that is part of using the overall product. As always, "Read the manual" is the important thing. So it works, and thank you.

Hey, "This is an old thread"? OK, 3 months, but I really think it's better to reply here than start a new one.

Did you find it?

[B4X] [XUI] SD XUIView

I'm happy to announce the publication of my new B4XView library. This library adds to the XUi Views the native views of the three platforms (Android / IOS / Desktop) so that they can be managed by Design, using them as XUI views without having to change its type in the Globals Sub. With this...

Hi Peter

Thanks for sharing the code.

I am a newbie and I wanted to check how to modify the code to display only 3 images instead of 6.

Hello @TheRnker
You just need to change the Rows and Columns values.

From

     Dim OffSetX, OffSetY, Rows = 4, Columns = 3 As Int

To

     Dim OffSetX, OffSetY, Rows = 1, Columns = 3 As Int

Enjoy...
