Android Code Snippet SD: Spinner with CustomView

I've created a new class with CistomView to have the same features on the spinner object as ListView. A second line of text and the ability to add an image beside each item.

Also there is the ability to put the screen in gray when you click on the spinner. And finally, the ability to represent each item with rounded edges. In the cases there is an image that will also be rounded.

Hope it may be useful to you

Proprietes

Enabled As Boolean
SelectedItem As String
SelectedID As String
SelectedIndex As String
GrayDisplay As Boolean ' If Make Screeen gray when click (Set/Get)
BColor As Int ' BackgroundColor of Spinner's Label (Get/Set)
TColor As Int ' TextColor of Spinner's Label (Get/Set)
HintColor As Int ' TextColor of Spinner's Hint (Get/Set)
RoundCorner As Boolean
If the spinner opens in an anomalous position:
Set these prorpietes (left e Top) to set the screen position of the spinner's aperture on the screen.
For this reason we do not recommend inserting the spinner inside a scrollView because it has problems calculating its opening, or setting the position from code using left and top

Left As Int
Top As Int ​

Method

Initialize (vCallback As Object, vEventName As String)
Add(Text As String, TextHelp As String,ID As String, BackgroundColor As Int, TextColor As Int, Gravities As Int,Image As Bitmap)
' Add Single element
AddAll(L As List, TextHelp As String, BackgroundColor As Int, TextColor As Int, Gravities As Int)
' Add a List
Size as int ' return number of elements
Clear ' Clear all elements
RemoveIndex(Position As Int) ' Remove element at Index
RemoveID(ID As String) ' Remove element from ID
GetItem(Position As Int) As String ' Get Value from position/index
GetItemFromID(ID As String) As String ' Get Value from ID
GetID(Position As Int) As String ' Get ID at position/index
SetIndex(Position As Int) ' Set selected from position/index
SetID(Id As String) ' Set selected from ID
SetBackgroundDrawable(Draw As ColorDrawable) ' Set Background with colordrawable
SetBackgroundImage(Bitmap As Bitmap) ' Set Background with image
SetLabelTextSize(TextSizeLabel As Int) ' Set Text Size of label
Close ' close a ListItem windows
Open ' Apen a ListItem Windows​

Event

ItemClick (Position As Int, Value as String)​

I'm not sure I understand what you're asking

This is the problem, the Spinner is in a panel with ScrollView

Ok, so the problem is that.
Positions can not be correctly identified within the scrollView.
To calculate them you must also know the position of the panel inside the scrollview. He only calculates the position of the ScrollView within the activity.

 

[Johan Hormaza]

He only calculates the position of the ScrollView within the activity.

How can I do that?. You forgive

Public Sub DesignerCreateView (Base As Panel, Lbl As Label, Props As Map)
        mBase = Base
        mBase.Tag="SD_SPINNER"
  
        Left = 0  <------------------------- this
        Top = 0  <------------------------- this
        Dim Obj As View = mBase
        Do While Not(GetType(Obj) = "android.widget.FrameLayout")
            Try
                Left = Left + Obj.Left
                Top =Top + Obj.Top
            Catch
                Log(".")
            End Try
            Obj = Obj.Parent
        Loop
     ....

Make the Left and Top variables available at the beginning of DesignerCreateView and edit them from code.

 

[Johan Hormaza]

I already have the programmed position

 

[LucaMs]

Non ho letto tutto, non ne ho avuto pazienza!
I have not read everything...
but if this is the problem:

Sometimes if there are too many nested panels it can not find the absolute position.

why don't you try my simple and useful module, to get an absolute position?

 

[Johan Hormaza]

why don't you try my simple and useful module, to get an absolute position?

Which?

 

[LucaMs]

module is blue

it is a link.

P.S. blue? I'm not so sure, damned colorblindness

 

[LucaMs]

Often I have to use some tool:

Surely there are apps for color blinds and they are very useful.


OT

 

[LucaMs]

Which?

https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/b4x-xui-viewpos-source-code.92820/

You need just one of its functions: copy & paste.

Jejejejeje If I already realized

View attachment 67821

It's wrong.
To set Top and Left of the view, use Spinner.GetBase.Top and Spinner.GetBase.Left.

While Spinner.Top and Spinner.Left establish the position to open the Spinner

 

[Johan Hormaza]

It's wrong.
To set Top and Left of the view, use Spinner.GetBase.Top and Spinner.GetBase.Left.

While Spinner.Top and Spinner.Left establish the position to open the Spinner

My brother, thank you, God bless you ...
Everything works now in an extraordinary way!

The error indicates that it has not been initialized.
Show the code where you state, initialize and use the Spinner class.

 

[Star-Dust]

To enter a code you must put it in here

It seems you did not initialize them Spinner.
Did you include the Spinner in Design?
Have you seen my example?

 

[Daniel Konstantinidis]

Thank you about telling me the way to put a code, I didn't know how.
1)Yes I did include the Spinner in Design.
2)I am trying to reproduce your example.

May be the fact that I am implementing the spinner inside a TabHost matters?

 

[Star-Dust]

2)I am trying to reproduce your example.

I think not, but I see your code is very messy.

Try a standar spinner and see if it generates an error.

I make your code call a function of the Spinner Class when isn't initialized.
I see that you receive data from the internet and at some point close and reopen an activity (what is wrong).
They seem not very clear things

 

[Daniel Konstantinidis]

If this helps, this is the errors I get after debuging my app :

** Activity (main) Resume **
** Activity (main) Pause, UserClosed = false **
** Activity (pelatesdetails) Create, isFirst = true **
