B4J Question ShowToastWithReturns

[David Elkington]

Hi All,

I am using ABMATERIAL to design a web app, but I struggle to find good code examples for some reason, I never seemed to have this issue with B4A. I was wondering if someone had a code example for Toast, I want to quickly use it to confirm an action with Yes, No....

This is what I have, but I don't know how to trap the result...

code

page.ShowToastWithReturns("tConfirmEmail","ToastRed","Send email",10000, Array As String("Yes","No"),Array As String("Yes","No"),True)

/code

Please add the Tag [ABMaterial] to your post title.
As for your question, try...
Result=page.showtoastwithreturns....

Or better yet, use a modalform...

Also Try Msgbox2:

    page.Msgbox2("DOWNL","Download the Android Mobile App","Get Device Application","Download","Cancel",False,ABM.MSGBOX_TYPE_QUESTION,False,ABM.MSGBOX_POS_CENTER_CENTER,"")



' then the result code....


Sub page_MsgboxResult(returnName As String, result As String)

 Dim dirf As ABMLabel = page.Component("dirf")


 If result = ABM.MSGBOX_RESULT_OK Then
    Log(" OK was pressed   Return name "&returnName&"  result: "&result)   
 End If

  Select Case returnName
     Case "DOWNL"
        Log(" what is result: "&result)
          Select Case result
           
             Case "abmok" 
               
               Dim add As String = "../../apks/tinspect.apk"
               ws.Eval("window.location = arguments[0]", Array As Object(add))   
               ws.Flush
               Log("tried to download")

        End Select

    Case "ECMH"

        Select Case result

            Case "abmok"
                If dirname.Length > 2 Then
                    Main.histecmFolder = dirname
                    dirf.Text = "HISTORIC ECM Folder: "&CRLF& Main.histecmFolder
                    dirf.Refresh
                Else
                    page.Msgbox("ms1","ERROR!!!","No History Record Selected!","Return",False,ABM.MSGBOX_POS_CENTER_CENTER,"")
                End If
           
                   
        End Select


    Case "ECMC"

        Select Case result

            Case "abmok"
            Main.histecmFolder = Main.ecmFolder   
            dirf.Text = "Current ECM Folder: "&CRLF&Main.histecmFolder   
            dirf.Refresh
                   
        End Select

       
 End Select
     
End Sub

Many thanks for your replies. I wanted to use toast so that it does not disrupt the workflow, so it would disappear in 5 seconds if they did not mean to do the action. Mr AB replied to me and it works quite nicely now and kinda stays out of your face.

 

[David Elkington]

He also gave me a good trick as below...

I good thing to do is putting log(EventName) in the ParseEvent() method. It will quickly show you what method it is expecting (e.g. for your ShowToastWithReturn issue).

Harris has put up a good getting started tutorial (for dummies) for which I'm very grateful.

If you have an example of this, I will add it to the tutorial, for future reference when others encounter the same difficulty.

Thanks

Basically it was just like this...

Call the toast...

If bolToastShowing = False Then ' I use this to stop the reoccurrence

page.ShowToastWithReturns("tConfirmEmail","ToastPurpleC","Send email:",5000, Array As String("Click to Confirm"),Array As String("Yes"),False)
bolToastShowing = True

End If


Sub Page_ToastClicked(toastID As String, Action As String)

If toastID="tConfirmEmail" Then
If Action="Yes" Then

Do your email action

page.showToast("tDone","ToastGreen","Email has been queued",2000,False)
bolToastShowing=False
End If
End If
