B4A Library ProgressLoadToast

Hello All, i wanted to share this small library with you guys, it's something i wrapped while i needed it for a project i'm working on, I hope it can be of use to someone here.
Is really not a big deal, but basically it shows a ToastMessage with a progressbar inside of it. It gives a very nice animation when you call the Progress.Success method.

Give it a try and let me know what you guys think.

The project is based on the original project here:
https://github.com/code-mc/loadtoast

Instructions:
copy and paste the three files inside the zipped folder, ProgressLoadToast.xml, ProgressLoadToast.jar and the NineOldAndroids.jar files into your additional libraries folder.

Also copy the two images named ic_error.png and the ic_navigation_check.png into your object/res/drawable folder and don't forget to mark them as read only.

Enjoy:

Hey There Kwame, did you copy the two images as described in the first post into your res/drawable folder, the name of the images are ic_error.png and the ic_navigation_check.png.

Let me know!

Oops! please I just noticed one of the images was incorrectly named after I changed the image manually. Thanks a lot!

Hello @walterf25, now I'm getting java.lang.NullPointerException on Activity_Create, and app closes.
Here's my code:
B4X:
Sub Globals
    Dim prg As ProgressLoadToast
    Private good As Button
End Sub

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
    Activity.LoadLayout("starter")
    prg.Initialize("Please wait while Loading...", Colors.Blue)
    'prg.YTranslation(200dip)
    prg.BackgroundColor(Colors.Green)
    prg.show
End Sub

Sub good_Click
    prg.Success
End Sub
Am I doing something wrong please?

Hi can you upload a sample project? It would be easier so I can test and find out what's going on! I apologize but I'm a little short on time at the moment.

Thanks,
Walter

Take this
I just tried your project sample and everything works fine on my end, are you sure you copied all three files into your additional libraries folder?
Make sure you have the ProgressLoadToast.jar, ProgressLoadToast.xml and nineoldandroid.jar files.

Let me know how it goes!

Thanks,
Walter

Seems like a nice UI touch but I see an issue with mine not showing all the text, maybe 20 chars max. please look into and try to resize to fit chars. Thanks.

Also, it would be nice if it's possible to create a "global" object like the traditional progressdialog

No. Copy in C:\Program Files (x86)\Anywhere Software\Basic4android\Libraries

Also, it would be nice if it's possible to create a "global" object like the traditional progressdialog

That would be good

Hello my friend, i have two questions for your library. Firstly, i didn't figure it out how show the "ic_navigation_check.png", it is just keep spinning and spinning. Here is a part of my code:
B4X:
Dim progress As ProgressLoadToast
progress.Initialize("Εγκατάσταση...",Colors.Gray)
progress.YTranslation(100%y-100dip)
progress.show
If FirstTime Then
   If File.Exists(File.DirDefaultExternal,"True6.txt")=False Then
      Try
         'couple of copies
         progress.Success
      Catch
         progress.Error
      End Try
   End if
End if
Secondly, random i figure it out to show the check.png, but it didn't dissapeared as show at .gif on github library, instead it keep shows the check.png all the time.
Thanks for your time.
