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

Periklis Koutsogiannis · Jul 16, 2014

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

Periklis Koutsogiannis · Jul 16, 2014

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

Periklis Koutsogiannis · Jul 16, 2014

Started an emulator in AVD and the sample works fine.

Thraka · Jul 16, 2014

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 · Jul 16, 2014

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

Thraka · Jul 16, 2014

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 · Jul 16, 2014

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

Periklis Koutsogiannis · Jul 16, 2014

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.

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 · Jul 17, 2014

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:

B4X:

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

Great. I will test it tomorrow.

Thraka · Jul 17, 2014

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 · Jul 17, 2014

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

MaFu · Jul 17, 2014

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

Periklis Koutsogiannis · Jul 17, 2014

@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 · Jul 17, 2014

@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 · Jul 17, 2014

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

Complete customization of the default message box without layout files.

Check sample4 for the full source code

'Configure the dialog title
Dim TitleBackground As ColorDrawable : TitleBackground.Initialize(Colors.Gray, 0)
Dialog.Options.Title.Set(Typeface.CreateNew(Typeface.SANS_SERIF, Typeface.STYLE_BOLD_ITALIC), Colors.Blue, 25, Gravity.CENTER, TitleBackground, Colors.Red)

B4X:

'Configure the message content
Dim MessageBackground As ColorDrawable : MessageBackground.Initialize(Colors.Magenta, 0)
Dialog.Options.Message.Set(Typeface.CreateNew(Typeface.SANS_SERIF, Typeface.STYLE_BOLD_ITALIC), Colors.Blue, 25, Gravity.CENTER, MessageBackground)

B4X:

'Configure the dialog buttons
Dim ButtonBackground As StateListDrawable : ButtonBackground.Initialize

ButtonBackground.AddState(ButtonBackground.State_Pressed, ButtonBackgroundPressed)
ButtonBackground.AddCatchAllState(ButtonBackgroundNormal)

Dim ButtonStyle1, ButtonStyle2, ButtonStyle3  As DialogViewButtonStyle

ButtonStyle1.Set(Typeface.CreateNew(Typeface.SANS_SERIF, Typeface.STYLE_NORMAL), Colors.Blue, 14, Gravity.LEFT + Gravity.BOTTOM, ButtonBackground)
ButtonStyle2.Set(Typeface.CreateNew(Typeface.SANS_SERIF, Typeface.STYLE_BOLD), Colors.Red, 14, Gravity.LEFT + Gravity.Top, ButtonBackground)
ButtonStyle3.Set(Typeface.CreateNew(Typeface.SANS_SERIF, Typeface.STYLE_BOLD_ITALIC), Colors.Black, 24, Gravity.CENTER, ButtonBackground)

'Dialog.Options.Buttons.Default.Style = ButtonStyle1 <= apply the style to all buttons
Dialog.Options.Buttons.Positive.Style = ButtonStyle1
Dialog.Options.Buttons.Neutral.Style = ButtonStyle2
Dialog.Options.Buttons.Negative.Style = ButtonStyle3

'Or set the style in one line
'Dialog.Options.Buttons.Default.Style.Set(Typeface.CreateNew(Typeface.SANS_SERIF, Typeface.STYLE_NORMAL), Colors.Blue, 14, Gravity.LEFT + Gravity.BOTTOM, ButtonBackground)

B4X:

'Show the dialog
Dialog.Msgbox("title", "this is a standard message dialog", "yes", "no", "cancel", LoadBitmap(File.DirAssets, "icon1.png"))
