iOS Question Obj C Class and #IF OBJC / An attempt at ViewBadger functionality for iOS

[henrywood]

In the Android version of my app, I use ViewBadger to put a badge on buttons.
Now I try to do the same in iOS.
I found this Objective C Class: http://latest.docs.nimbuskit.info/NIBadgeView.html

My question is: Can I use that class by importing the NimbusBadge.h from within an #IF OBJC block in B4i, define a wrapper in Objective C to set a badge on a view and then write a B4i Sub that wraps the Objective C wrapper method ?

Something like this:

#IF OBJC
#import "NimbusBadge.h"

- (void) setBadgeViewInternal:(NSString*)txt :(UIColor*)bgColor :(UIView*)viewButton
{
NIBadgeView* badgeView = [[NIBadgeView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero];
badgeView.text = txt;
badgeView.tintColor = bgColor;
[badgeView sizeToFit];
[viewButton addSubview:badgeView];
}

#END IF

Sub setBadgeView(txt As String, bgColor As Color, v As View)

Dim no As NativeObject = Me
no.RunMethod("setBadgeViewInternal:::", Array As Object(txt, no.ColorToUIColor(bgColor), v))

End Sub

And calling the B4i sub:

Dim btn As Button
btn.Text = "Click Me"
setBadgeView("7", Colors.Blue, btn)

If this is possible, where do I place any .h and .m files of NimbusBadge so that they are included in my project ?

You will need to put the .h and .a (compiled object) files in the server libs folder.

You will then need to modify one of the libraries xml file and add a DependsOn node with the new library.
