Wish ImageSlider and SimplemediaManager

[MarcoRome]

Hi All.
A few years ago, this excellent class was developed that performed a slider on photos.

[B4X][XUI] ImageSlider

ImageSlider custom view is compatible with B4A, B4i and B4J. Features: Three transition types: horizontal, vertical and fade. Configured in the visual designer. Images are centered and not distorted. Next and previous images are cached. Sliding gestures. Flexible data source. Cross...

It would be very interesting to be able to use the simple media manager within the same device so as to be able to view not only images but possibly also videos, etc.

Just an idea: use AS_ViewPager + SMM. Then you can even swipe on mobile devices.

It could be a good idea

And togehter with lazy loading, you don't have to worry about the performance

Did anyone end up achieving this?

1. Switch to B4XPages.
2. Use this code:

Sub ImageSlider1_GetImage (Index As Int) As ResumableSub
    Dim pnl As B4XView = xui.CreatePanel("")
    pnl.SetLayoutAnimated(0, 0, 0, ImageSlider1.WindowBase.Width, ImageSlider1.WindowBase.Height)
    'change to smm.SetMedia for online images.
    smm.SetMediaFromFile(pnl, File.DirAssets, $"test_${Index + 1}.jpg"$, "image/jpeg", CreateMap(smm.REQUEST_CALLBACK: Me))
    Wait For (pnl) SMM_MediaReady (Success As Boolean, Media As SMMedia)
    If Success Then
        Return Media.Media.As(B4XBitmap)
    Else
        'return error image
    End If
End Sub

You will see a warning in the logs "Target is not in the views tree!". Ignore it.
