AHQuickAction

Written by Markus Stipp

This library provides two objects for some nice looking popup menus.

The AHQuickAction object is a popup window with horizontally aligned items.
You can see this popup window in many apps like Tapatalk or Folder Organizer.

The AHQuickAction3D object is a popup that can be used horizontally and
vertically. You can find a similar popup in many Google apps like 3D-Gallery
and Text&Tables.

This library is somewhat different to other libraries because it makes use
of standard Android resource files. Resource files cannot be published inside
a .jar file and so you have to copy them to your Basic4Android project directory.

Copy the whole "res" directory structure to the "Objects" directory of your B4A
project and VERY IMPORTANT: make them READ ONLY! Otherwise B4A will delete them
when compiling. After you make any change to the Objecs/res directory use
"Clean project" menu item in B4A to force the compiler to recreate the R.java file.

If you forget to make the resource files read only then you will most likely get
a ResourceNotFound exception when you try to use the popup objects.

The objects are ported from open source projects and you can find them here:
NewQuickAction
NewQuickAction3D
