B4A Library Updates to internal libraries

Updates to internal B4A libraries will be posted here. Make sure to check the library version before updating.

These libraries should be copied to the internal libraries folder (Program Files\Anywhere Software\Basic4android\Libraries).

 

Phone v2.45 - You can now pass Uris to Email.Attachments. This allows to send emails with FileProvider Uris as now required by newer versions of Android.

Example:

Code:

Sub Button1_Click
   Dim e As Email
   e.To.Add("ttt@ttt.com")
   e.Subject = "test"
   e.Body = "aaa"
   File.Copy(File.DirAssets, "1.bal", Starter.shared, "1.bal")
   e.Attachments.Add(CreateFileProviderUri(Starter.shared, "1.bal"))
   StartActivity(e.GetIntent)
End Sub

FirebaseAnalytics v1.01 - The firebase manifest editor macro was updated as required with the latest version of Firebase SDK.

If you are using B4A v8+ and added the required snippets with CreateResourceFromFile then you only need to copy the library files to the internal libraries folder.

Otherwise, you need to update the "Firebase base" manifest code: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/integrating-firebase-services.67692/#content
Note that Firebase Analytics snippet is no longer required.

 

FirebaseNotifications v1.21 - Fixes a compatibility issue with latest version of Firebase SDK:

 

xCustomListView 1.63

 

FirebaseAdMob v1.51 - Fixes an issue with rewarded video ads and the latest version of Firebase.

 

BitmapCreator v3.50.

Requires B4A v8.3+


Edit: Missing xml was added.

 

XUI v1.71
Fixes two issues discovered by Klaus. Thank you!

1. B4XView.Rotation didn't rotate the view around the center (like B4XView.SetRotationAnimated).
2. B4XView.SetColorAnimated behaved differently than in B4J and B4i. It animated the colors based on the HSV color space instead of ARGB color space.

 

FirebaseAnalytics v1.02 and FirebaseAuth v1.05 are attached.

This update fixes the issue with the latest version of firebase-auth resource (currently v16.0.2)

 

XUI v1.72 - Changes several of the animations to progress linearly as in B4J and B4i.

 

FirebaseAdMob v1.52. Fixes a potential issue with the consent form dialog.

 

B4A v8.50 only - updated debug.jar file. Fixes an issue with missing permission on older Android devices when running in debug mode.
Copy to the internal libraries folder.

 

ViewsEx v1.30. New TouchPanelCreator. It creates panels that expose two internal events: OnInterceptTouchEvent and OnTouchEvent.

Usage example: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/class-b4adrawer-sliding-drawer.97828/

 

Serial v1.30 - Allows getting more information about discovered Bluetooth devices using JavaObject: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...-device-type-before-attempting-pairing.98393/
