B4A Library Dialogs library

This library contains several modal, that is blocking, dialogs by which the user can enter data. Presently they are an InputDialog for numbers and text, a TimeDialog for times and and a DateDialog for dates.

Note that modal dialogs can close unexpectedly and not return to your code if the Activity needs to close, most likely because the user rotated the device. There is a brief discussion of this in the overall library help in the xml. This can also occur with the Basic4android modal dialogs InputList, InputMultiList, Msgbox and Msgbox2 whose modal mechanism is used by the dialogs in this library.

[Erel]

Which version of B4A are you using?

 

[senat56]

5.02

 

[Erel]

You need to use the older Dialogs library (v2.92): https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/dialogs-library.6776/

 

[senat56]

The result is the same
And give a link to an older version

Hi

how can we change the Title typeface ( also buttons typeface ) in this lib ? I used CSBuilder but nothing changed. thanks

 

[Erel]

You can't. You can see that the button text is String and not CharSequence so it is not possible to style it.

Hello,
would you be able to do something with ColorDialog when you use it in Landscape mode? In this case, it does not appear as a whole, it is not possible to set the color. See picture. Can elements shrink somewhat? Or do the slider dial items?
Thank you,
Marek

 

[Erel]

Check this example: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/color-picker.80310/#post-508577
You can modify it as needed.

 

[JTmartins]

I have several problems with this lib.

No way to have more than 4 digits displayed in number dialog.

Wrong display in Date dialog and time dialog in landscape, as shown.

Does anyone have the same problems ?

I'm using the demo files, for the attached shots

 

[Erel]

These issues are related to the native dialogs themselves.

Note that you can create a completely custom dialog: Dialogs library 2017 - Custom dialogs and async methods

[DonManfred]

Where do you set the path to the file Dialog?

 

[jimmyF]

Very good question.
I just figured it out as you were typing. Great minds think alike!
I had never set it.
This works:

fd.FilePath= File.DirRootExternal

Funny, though, that it was never an issue on previous phones.

 

[cengolo]

is it possible to change the colors of the time picker dialog (or the dialogs in general?)

 

[Erel]

Please start a new thread in the questions forum.

 

[sentechnologies]

anyone give sample code for date and time picker dialog
