B4A Library SD: Floating Button StandOut

Star-Dust · Jun 20, 2017

(No WRAP, but B4A)
I've been in a new challenge. I reworked a little release published by @JordiCP. Find Here

He entered the Java code taken by GitHub (see https://github.com/henrychuangtw/Android-ChatHead) and wrapped it with "#IF JAVA" inside a B4A module.

With his permission I extended a bit of the B4A code and retouched the Java code (for that little I remember Java) and I realized one thing I longed for: A flying button that always stands out even on other Apps On the Desktop.

You can get the full version by making a donation..

How to change the icon size at runtime ? I have always the same size, cannot understand where it is inited, and how to update.

NeoTechni · Nov 17, 2019

How do you detect when the floating button is clicked, versus the app opening regularly?

Star-Dust · Nov 17, 2019

see the SetEvent method

NeoTechni · Nov 17, 2019

ty. Is it possible to access the floating button's canvas so I could draw onto it?

Star-Dust · Nov 18, 2019

if you want to pass a canvas as an image of the floating icon after ver drawn on the canvas use the Cavas.Bitmap method. will return a bitmap that you can use as the image

Hi,
Thanks for this library.

I tried it with Andro 10 & B4A 10.5, it worked great, but notification info with empty message always shows when call FloatingStandOut.Start.

On Android 7, there was no notification info.

Can it set to set notification info always off?

Star-Dust · Feb 7, 2021

unfortunately not. With the latest versions of Android when you boot into special service to keep it alive you have to tie it to a notification

ChatHead wrapper + GIF overlay

(2017/07/01) Based on this wrapper, I also built some strange things on it, with different purposes. I am not working on most of them anymore, so I decided to share. This one is funny. Similar to the video but with added elements It combines several overlay elements and brings them into life...

When running the app, 2 notifications are shown in the status bar.
I'm asking is there a way to use "setinfo" to edit these notifications?

Star-Dust · Apr 24, 2021

Sure

B4X:

standout.Snotif.SetInfo("Hallo","Float",Me) ' Me is Main Activity
