Enhancing the jRLViews CV Library with a ButtonToolbar CV. A toolbar can contain buttons text or icon and separators.
Despite using icons from the bitmaps located in the dirassets folder, want to use FontAwesome Icons.
Seeking help for: Whilst the fontawesome icons are displayed, encountered following issues:
1. the fontawesome icon aligment is always center_right instead of center.
Tried several options, like a resize sub called using subdelayed after the CV is loaded = no change, or setting the alignment property = no change.
Example fontawesome Android Icon, plus 2 icons from files:
2. when resizing the toolbar till the >> appear, the fontawesome icon is empty when clicking on the >>, wheras the icons created from file are displayed:
Code Snippet creating icon button
The button properties are read from JSON string like for a Menu.
The fontawesome font is stored in an additional jar and added to the Project Attributes.
...
Dim ic As String = colroot.Get("icon")
' Fontawesome icon is hex string, i.e. 0x.
If ic.StartsWith("0x") Then
b.Tag = ic
b.Font = fx.CreateFontAwesome(b.PrefHeight)
b.Text = Chr(Bit.ParseInt(ic.Replace("0x",""), 16))
b.Alignment = "CENTER"
Else
' Icon from file located in the dirassets folder
AddButtonIcon(b, colroot.Get("icon"), mProps.Get("Transparent"))
End If
End If
' Add the button to the list
l.Add(b)
End If
Next
' Add the list of buttons to the toolbar
mJOToolbar.RunMethodJO("getItems", Null).RunMethod("addAll", Array(l))
' Add the toolbar node to the base
mBase.AddNode(mJOToolbar, 0, 0, 0, 0)
