This is a - partially - wrap for the Components of https://www.chilkatsoft.com/
Note that the B4A and B4J wrappers are free but you need a Chilkat License to Unlock the Chilkat Library.
The prices starting at $US 289
The interesting part is "A license is valid across all supported operating systems, programming languages, architectures, frameworks, etc." which means that you only need ONE License to use the Chilkat Library in every programming language you want.
I do use them in the 1st line in Delphi for example. But i also wanted to use them in B4J and B4A so i started doing wrappers for it
The Objects wrapped so far are:
I spent a lot of time doing the wraps though
Some notes:
- As the Library behind (-so Files) is written to support multiple languages the Methods are somehow "Crypted" looking at them from a B4X perspective.
I did try to change the Methods and Properties available to be "B4X conform"
For example:
The 1st is a getter, the second a setter for the Values inside the native code.
Inside the wrapper such code is translated into
meaning that in B4A and B4J you would use
- Usually the Methods wants to return something "into a special Object". But all methods also has a similar Method/Property which returns a String instead of using CkString-Object.
getThreadPoolLogPath2(CkString str) will return the result into the CkString Object named str.
and getThreadPoolLogPath() will return the String directly.

Some notes:

I did try to change the Methods and Properties available to be "B4X conform"
For example:
Java:
public int get_AnsiCodePage() {
return chilkatJNI.CkGlobal_get_AnsiCodePage(swigCPtr, this);
}
public void put_AnsiCodePage(int newVal) {
chilkatJNI.CkGlobal_put_AnsiCodePage(swigCPtr, this, newVal);
}Inside the wrapper such code is translated into
Java:
public int getAnsiCodePage() {
return this.getObject().get_AnsiCodePage();
}
public void setAnsiCodePage(int newVal) {
this.getObject().put_AnsiCodePage(newVal);
}
B4X:
' Set
global1.AnsiCodepage = 1
' Get
dim cp as Int = global1.AnsiCodepage
Java:
public void getThreadPoolLogPath2(CkString str) {
this.getObject().get_ThreadPoolLogPath(str);
}
public String getThreadPoolLogPath() {
return this.getObject().threadPoolLogPath();
}and getThreadPoolLogPath() will return the String directly.
