How to add a search box when pressing a button in the B4XPage bar

 

[Erel]

Check B4XSearchTemplate + B4XDialog.

Check B4XSearchTemplate + B4XDialog.

I mean I want to add the text box in the top bar

 

[Erel]

Private Sub B4XPage_Created (Root1 As B4XView)
    Root = Root1
    Root.LoadLayout("MainPage")
    Dim p As B4XView = xui.CreatePanel("")
    p.SetLayoutAnimated(0, 0, 0, 200dip, 45dip)
    Dim tf As EditText
    tf.Initialize("")
    p.AddView(tf, 5dip, 0, p.Width - 10dip, p.Height)
    B4XPages.GetManager.ActionBar.RunMethod("setCustomView", Array(p))
    B4XPages.GetManager.ActionBar.RunMethod("setDisplayOptions", Array(16, 16))
End Sub

Note that it will appear in all pages.

Thank you
no problem
Is there a code to hide the text box

 

[Erel]

You have access to the EditText and to its parent panel. You can change their visibility.

 

[Erel]

Or better, use this code:

Private Sub SetActionBarCustomViewState(Visible As Boolean)
    B4XPages.GetManager.ActionBar.RunMethod("setDisplayOptions", Array(IIf(Visible, 16, 0), 16))
End Sub

Thank you
last question
Why is the code not working?

Private Sub tf_TextChanged (Old As String, New As String)
    Log(New)
End Sub

 

[Erel]

 tf.Initialize("tf")
