B4A Library SD: MenuClose

I had the need to create a menu when it is required to exit App from the Back button of the device but also from the home button.

So I have to create something similar to closing the device.
Here is my new office.

SD_MenuClose

Author: Star-Dust
Version: 0.05

• MenuClose
  • Functions:
    • Class_Globals As String
    • ExitApplication2 As String
      Close the application and connected services
    • Initialize (BackgroundColor As Int, TextColor As Int) As String
      Initializes the object. You can add parameters to this method if needed.
      <code> MenuClose.Initialize(Colors.ARGB(200,150,150,150),Colors.White) </code>
    • IsInitialized As Boolean
      Verifica se l'oggetto sia stato inizializzato.

use:

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
    'Do not forget to load the layout file created with the visual designer. For example:
    Activity.LoadLayout("Layout1")

End Sub

Sub Activity_Resume

End Sub

Sub Activity_Pause (UserClosed As Boolean)

End Sub

Sub Activity_KeyPress (KeyCode As Int) As Boolean 'Return True to consume the event
    If KeyCode=KeyCodes.KEYCODE_BACK Then
        Dim MC As MenuClose
        MC.Initialize
        Return True
    End If
 
    Return False
End Sub

• 1.04
  • Added BackgroundColor parameter
• 1.05
  • Added TextColor parameter

The SD_MenuClose.zip link appears to be broken.

EDIT: Works now ... thanls!

I think that "today" it is even more difficult to completely close an app (see news about the Starter service).

[Moreover, this has always been discouraged by Erel]

It depends on how the app is closed. If it is closed with ExitApplication then it is indeed not recommended.

If you are targeting Android 4.1+ then you can use this code to finish all activities: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/exitapplication-vs-activity-finish.79548/#post-503759

Thanks Erel of the clarification, and hanging on it, I thought it was a good idea to make the closing operation as a public method in release 0.02

Instead of ExitApplication (with the issues we know) we could use MenuClose.ExitApplication2

I used this code:

' Main
Public Sub CloseApp
    Activity.Finish
    Starter.CloseApp = True
    StopService(Starter)
End Sub

' Starter
Public CloseApp As Boolean


Sub Service_Destroy   If CloseApp Then
      StopService(srvComm)
      ExitApplication
   End If
End Sub

but this code would no longer work with b4a 8.30; QUIZ: guess why


I had not read that "trick", Erel (... jo.RunMethod("finishAffinity", Null) ), thank you.
[I still need a solution for Android < 4.1 but "I have" time: before closing my app I have to start it ]

Sorry for the OOT, but what issues with ExitApplication ?

Hello, Thanks for the Lib.
Is it possible to change the background color and the icon colors?

Thank's in advance
Best Regards!

 

[Star-Dust]

I updated to version 1.04 which allows you to change the background

 

[ddefrain]

I updated to version 1.04 which allows you to change the background. The color of the buttons is currently not possible because I use images

Thanks @Star-Dust .
Best Regards

Updated to version 1.05
Can change the text color
