Does the attached sample project (based in your code) in my previous post work ?

 

[Periklis Koutsogiannis]

Please use a real device and test the sample attached in my previous post.

 

[Periklis Koutsogiannis]

The AVD settings in your emulator screenshot are invalid. The device is missing.

 

[Periklis Koutsogiannis]

Started an emulator in AVD and the sample works fine.

 

[Thraka]

Whoops.. Duh. here you go. I'll test out that sample project. Nope didn't work in my emulator. I tried on an NVidia Shield device, same result.

 

[Periklis Koutsogiannis]

What did not work in the emulator? The sample project in my previous post or your own app?

 

[Thraka]

Both, that sample app you made for me where you took a screenshot of it working, and my app. Both give me the same white dialog that I showed in a screenshot.

 

[Periklis Koutsogiannis]

Have you tested the sample in your phone? (not tablet)

 

[Periklis Koutsogiannis]

Then something is seriously wrong in your setup. I tested the sample app in 3 different emulators and 4 devices.

This is a 100% identical AVD setup with yours running the sample app. And it works.

 

[Thraka]

It seems the controls are actually being hidden behind the title! If I give it space inside the panel, it shows. As you can see, the top is being cut off.

 

[Periklis Koutsogiannis]

It is because the height of your layout panel is too big. Just resize it to make it smaller. Btw, the current DialogView (version 1.3) has support for different layouts per orientation:

Dialog.LoadLayoutMultiple("Dialog1_Portrait", "Dialog1_Landscape", "Dialog1").ShowOk("title","done")

Great. I will test it tomorrow.

 

[Thraka]

Thanks. I'm new to this stuff.

How would I choose something to maximize height or width? When I try to anchor the panel to the top and bottom, the dialog is basically at 0 height and nothing is seen.

 

[MaFu]

I have tested the new 1.3 version. On last version the dialog remains open on rotation, now it closes without response.

And a little glitch: an "missing SocialAPI library" error occurs on opening sample3.

 

[Periklis Koutsogiannis]

@MaFu: There is an android design issue. After orientation change, your activity will be recreated so there will be an inconsistency with a dialog that was opened from a previous activity. So, I decided to silently dismiss the dialog on orientation change. Since you will save the app state, you can invoke your dialog open function after state restore.

Also, DialogView follows the functionality of the standard msgbox that will be dismissed as well on orientation change.

 

[Periklis Koutsogiannis]

@Thraka: The DialogView is not aware of the layout parent of your dialog contents. It only knows about the panel container. Do not set anchors on the container panel. I may add maxheight, maxwidth options in the DialogView in the next version.

OK.
I was a little bit irritated because the last version respawns automatically on rotation. But it's no problem.

Coming up in the next version: full customization of the default system elements such as the title and the buttons (positive, negative, neutral or all of them [default]) with elegance and the less possible code possible

 

[Periklis Koutsogiannis]

Version 1.32 is live. Get it from the initial post.

Complete customization of the default message box without layout files.
