B4J Question [SOLVED] Set TextField alignment in B4J

[Armando Barrera]

Hi everyone,

I am trying to set the alignment for some TextFields (mainly, to right for numbers), I've been searching in the forum before i create this question, but could not fix my issue.
Unfortunaly i din't catch the solutions. If someone knows how can i fix it, I would be very grateful.
If more information is needed, please let me know.

Best regards

Try this

        Dim lbl As Label
        lbl.Initialize("")
        
        Dim jo As JavaObject = lbl
        jo.RunMethod("setTextAlignment", Array("RIGHT"))

 

[Tomar]

MyTextField.As(JavaObject).RunMethod("setAlignment", Array("CENTER_RIGHT"))

Should work.

1. Make sure to use latest version of B4J.
2. You can set the alignment of TextField with the designer or programmatically with the same API as Label or B4XView.

MyTextField.As(JavaObject).RunMethod("setAlignment", Array("CENTER_RIGHT"))

Hi Tomar,

Thanks for your quick response, but I'am afraid that I don't know how to adapt it for my matter, i received the next error message:

Main - 914: Variable 'javaobject' no declarada se utiliza antes de que se le haya asignado cualquier valor.

And in the line:
TextField1.As(JavaObject).RunMethod("setAlignment", Array("CENTER_RIGHT"))

the word JavaObject became red.
And don´t know what to do next.

I appreciate your support, thank you very much

Sub Button1_Click
    
    Dim lbl As Label
    lbl.Initialize("")
        
    Dim jo As JavaObject = lbl
    jo.RunMethod("setTextAlignment", Array("RIGHT"))
    
    
    TextField1.As(JavaObject).RunMethod("setAlignment", Array("CENTER_RIGHT"))
    
End Sub

Hi Erel,

I do not have the B4J latest version. I haven't updated due to my concern that my program is affected, but i will do it.
Appreciate your quick support as well, and let you both know the result.

Thank you very much

the word JavaObject became red.

Tick JavaObject on the libraries tab

 

[Tomar]

MyTextField.Alignment = "CENTER_RIGHT"

As Erel wrote, in the newest Version you can set the alignment direct. I did not know this yet.

Hi mcqueccu,

I have it ticked but with version 2.06, may be that´s the problem.
As said to Erel, i'll update the B4J with latest version (9.5) in fact have the version 8.50.

Thank you very much for your support.

Another question:
Is it recommended to uninstall the older version of B4J or can I just start installing the newer one?

Hi everyone,
