Android Question [Solved] B4XFloatTextField, Password

[mw71]

Hi

here show Erel a nice Password Box:
https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/b4x-xui-views-cross-platform-views-and-dialogs.100836/

I have add a B4XFloatTextField and set the "Password Field".
Unfortunately the Eye not show (for view/hide the password)
What i have forgot?

The Example works as expected.

It should show once the field is not empty.

Make sure that the text color (in the designer) is set properly. Otherwise it might be the same as the background.

OK thanks.

I tested it on my "main" Panel, works as expected.

This layout (BAL file)
- I load it into a ScrollView (.... SV_FTP.Panel.LoadLayout ("ftp_zugang") .....)
- the ScrollView is show with a CustomDialog (-->> i think the Problem?)
- the HintColor is not correct (not the selection in Designer)


the used Code

    Dim CV As CustomDialog
    Dim SV_FTP As ScrollView
    Dim ret As Int
    
    SV_FTP.Initialize(800dip)
    SV_FTP.Panel.LoadLayout("ftp_zugang")
    SV_FTP.Panel.Tag = "ftp Zugang"
    SV_FTP.panel.Height = ftp_chk_SavePW.Top + (ftp_chk_SavePW.Height * 3 ) + 10dip
    CV.AddView(SV_FTP,0dip,0dip,100%x,100%y)
    
'fill with Data.....

    ret=CV.Show("FTP Zugang", _
        Starter.loc.Localize("txt_Save"), _
        Starter.loc.Localize("txt_Cancel"),"",Null)
    If ret = DialogResponse.POSITIVE Then

You need to upload a small project that demonstrates the problem.

There are many mistakes / bad practices in this code. Too many for me to list them.

The error happens because you are using a modal dialog. Never use modal dialogs. This doesn't let B4XFloatTextField update itself properly.

Why aren't you using B4XPreferencesDialog: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...esdialog-cross-platform-forms.103842/#content ?

o.k., CustomDialog = Modal Dialog, dont work with B4XFloatTextField (and is old/"bad")
CustomLayoutDialog = non Modal Dialog, Test -> Works (and new/better way)

This Part is old. At the Time i have Create it, there was no non Modal Dialog in B4A.

Why aren't you using B4XPreferencesDialog: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...esdialog-cross-platform-forms.103842/#content ?

This looks fine and is the Reason where i "found" B4XFloatTextField. Unfortunly there is no (easy) way to show Text (Lable, for description e.g.), or have i not found it?
I plan to use it to Replace the User/Password request.

B4XPreferencesDialog is quite new. If you thing that something is missing then post it and hopefully it will be added.

You can add "separator" items with text and each other a title field that shows in the forum.
