B4A Library Alerter Library

Original Alerter library: https://github.com/Tapadoo/Alerter
Original description: This library aims to overcome the limitations of Toasts and Snackbars, while reducing the complexity of your layouts.

• v0.80 - Initial release
• v0.90 - Show and Hide events
• v1.00 - Completely rewritten, from zero. Now include: right icon, typeface, sound, vibration, progress, infinite duration, new events, events signatures is also changed, icon pulse, hide icon, gravity to show alert on top, center or bottom of the screen, swipe to dismiss, disable outside touch, etc.
• v1.01 - Support for RTL
• v1.02 - Text appearance with 50 presets or full custom title and text style from manifest, including color and size.
• v1.10 - Alerter library v7.2.4, no more EnableSound, theme must be set to Theme.AppCompat, example app updated.

This is my first wrapper, v0.80 and v0.90 are example HOW NOT TO wrap library. I will be better next time

Download library zip file from this link and extract archive to Additional Libraries folder. I'm not able to upload on forum, as size of file is over maximum allowed limit.

Use SDK manager and install missing artifact

 

[Erel]

First step is to upgrade to B4A v9.80: https://www.b4x.com/b4a.html
Follow the installation instructions and everything will work.

this is excellent but...

What does dismissable do? If I set it to TRUE it doesn't seem to make any difference.

 

[Pendrush]

If you set it to False, user will not be able to dismiss dialog by touching on it.

 

[Patrick Clark]

Thanks.

I have added Alerter1.Dismissable(True) and Alerter1.Dismissable(False) to the btnShowAlertWithIcon_Click and to btnShowAlertWithOneButton_Click and it makes no difference. In all cases tapping on the alert closes it

 

[Pendrush]

Here is example, try it.

 

[Patrick Clark]

but if i change dismissable to true in that example it makes no difference. the alert still doesn't dismiss when tapped

 

[Pendrush]

You can use:

Sub Alerter1_Click
    Alerter1.Close
End Sub

Indeed dismissable(False) or True does not change behavior.

 

[Patrick Clark]

Ok, thanks. I am glad I am not going mad

one final question. is it possible to get the index of the button rather than the text?

 

[Pendrush]

Nope

Remove this from manifest:

SetApplicationAttribute(android:theme, "@style/Theme.AppCompat")

Add this:

SetApplicationAttribute(android:theme, "@style/myTheme")
CreateResource(values-v21, theme.xml,
<resources>
  <style name="myTheme" parent="@style/Theme.AppCompat">
        <item name="android:windowNoTitle">false</item>
        <item name="android:windowActionBar">true</item>
    </style>
</resources>)

Another example with title bar attached to post #1
