B4J Tutorial [Web] Mashy Teaches Mobile App Development using SithasoIONIC7 powered by b4x & BANano

Hi there

Open Demo on your CellPhone.

During the course of these lessons we will look at how we can create mobile apps using Ionic 7, powered by b4x and BANano.

NB: PLEASE DO NOT COMMENT OR ASK QUESTIONS ON THIS THREAD. If you need to ask a question, please start a new thread with a prefix [SithasoIONIC7] or go to this thread

This b4xlib is built using pure VanillaJS, no Angular, no Vue and no React or anything of that sort. What I love about Ionic is the almost 100% native look and feel to iOS and Android devices. Its just smooth. To develop our mobile apps, we will use coding and or the abstract designer. Both are supported anyway.

Let's loop at some of the screens we will create for our apps below.

1. You will need BANano
2. You need some knowledge of using the abstract designer, this however is not necessary if you follow the coding approach to creating UIs. It is however recommended that you always use the abstract designer.
3. You will need to explore the Demo source code to learn more and also do some reading from the Ionic framework website.
4. You will need SithasoIONIC7 b4x. Get it from Paypal at $25 certificate of appreciation

As some of us are making ends meet, this is a commercial product.

Thank you again for your support and certificates of appreciation.

Here are some demo applications deployed on the interweb.

Creating Multiple Swiper Cards

Demo (Open on Mobile Device)

We use the new template structure to create a template for each slider and then use an array to build our slides.

SI7SwiperCards.gif



B4X:
app.AddMyLayout("slides", $"<div id="swiperslide1" class="swiper-slide"><ion-card id="card1" mode="ios"><img id="img1" src="{image}" style="height:8rem"><ion-card-content id="cardcontent1" mode="ios"><ion-card-title id="cardtitle1" mode="ios" style="font-size:1rem">{title}</ion-card-title><ion-note id="note1" mode="ios">{subtitle}</ion-note></ion-card-content></ion-card></div>"$)

    Dim slides As List
    slides.Initialize
    '
    slides.Add(CreateMap("title": "Road", "subtitle": "Long road", "image": "./assets/road.jpeg"))
    slides.Add(CreateMap("title": "Mountains", "subtitle": "Big mountains", "image": "./assets/mountains.jpeg"))
    slides.Add(CreateMap("title": "Unknown", "subtitle": "This is unknown", "image": "./assets/unknown.jpeg"))
    '
    For Each item As Map In slides
        Dim itemPos As Int = app.LoadMyLayout("swiper1slides", "slides", item)
        Dim components As Map = app.GetMyViews("slides", itemPos, item)
        Dim swiperslide1 As BANanoElement = components.Get("swiperslide1")
        swiperslide1.On("click", Me, $"swiperslide1_click"$)
    Next
    swiper1.Refresh

Source code for app on the SI7 Download.

Enjoy!

Lesson 03 - Designing Drawers

You will learn how to create a drawer with a list and list items that shows an icon & label. Each list item is clickable and can fire events. You will also add a button to the menu with click functionality. The final output will look like this. This also includes adding a toast on the page and showing it at each click event.

You will also explore how to customize the elements with css files and styling. This tutorial continues from the previous one.
