RotatingNeedle Example - Help Needed

[MCU01]

Hi all,

I'm new to Basic4Android and I have been playing with the examples in the beginner's guide. I have been modifying and playing with the RotatingNeedle example and I have a question. I want the user to be able to tap on the compass and make something happen. For example, I want this code to work

Sub imvCompass_Click

   .... do something

End If

But it just doesn't work :BangHead:. Since the ImageView is associated with a rectangle and a canvas the above code just doesn't work.

Thank you all for your help,

Robert

Can you upload your project (File - Export as zip) ?

Can you upload your project (File - Export as zip) ?

It's the same project as in the guide. Just add the lines

Sub imvCompass_Click   
   btnMode.text = "texting"   'Any code to test the sub
End If

Should it work or not? Thank you.

You should change line 24 :

imvCompass.Initialize("")

to

imvCompass.Initialize("imvCompass")

It's necessary to declare an EventName to get the event routine working.
As no event was required in the original code, so no EventName was given.

Best regards.

Thank you Klaus. That fixed it.

Graphics not fully displayed

I have just been playing with the rotating needle example and thought i would use different graphic file (attached). i changed to code to load the files below:

bmpCompass.Initialize(File.DirAssets,"compass1.png")
bmpNeedle.Initialize(File.DirAssets,"compassneedle.png")

The problem i am getting is that the compass1.png seems to be too big for the box and you only see the center part of the graphic, not the circle with the graticules.

the rest of the code has not changed, can anyone see why it doesn't work correctly

thanks

You should move this line

imvCompass.Bitmap = bmpCompass

after this line

RectCompass.Initialize(0, 0, bmpCompass.Width, bmpCompass.Height)
imvCompass.Bitmap = bmpCompass

This happend when the densitiy is grater than 1.

Best regards.
