Hi.
What do you mean?

 

[davepamn]

I want an input dialog

You can use a regular panel and show it above all views.

 

[davepamn]

Can you provide a code sample?

I was thinking about creating a regular page with a text box on it. I would take up the whole screen. I want am input dialogue instead.

Hi davepamn.

I modified fillipo's excellent custom dialog class to suit my own purposes for this found here https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/class-customdialog.47778/#content

I have added an example with the class and how to use it.

I can explain anything that you need to know, but basically I add a panel to the dialog and add the controls to that panel. Any controls that you want to get the return value for, then add a tag to it. The button_click of the dialog returns all the values in a map with the tags so that you can iterate over them to get the results. There are definitely much better ways to achieve this, but I decided on quick and dirty for now.

Cheers

I ran the sample

A dialog panel appears with a label and textbox for inputting a value.

When i press the Ok or Cancel button, nothing happens. The dialog does not go away.

 

[Brian Robinson]

Ok... It is supposed to close the dialog, and then shows a message box with the values returned from the dialog.

Did you just run the example exactly as it was, or did you add fields to match how you want it?

Cheers

I downloaded the sample code, built a release, and ran it on the iPad

Hi davepamn,

I just downloaded what I uploaded to make sure I didn't miss anything when I uploaded the zip file and ran it on an iPhone and iPad mini. It worked fine on both of those. If anyone else is reading this thread, can you give it a try and see if it works for you?

Cheers

Hi davepamn,

I got filippo to test it and it worked fine for him as well. https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/class-customdialog.47778/#post-324124

Not sure why it isn't working for you.

Cheers

[davepamn]

I don't know why it doesn't work

My iSideMenu is not working, either.

Sorry, without seeing some code, not sure how I can help.

Cheers
