Android Question Assistance with Navigation Bar Customization in B4XPages for Android (B4A)

[ykucuk]

Hi everyone,
I'm new to using B4XPages in Android (B4A) and need some help with two issues related to navigation bar customization:

1. Hiding the Navigation Bar on the Login Page
In B4i, I use the following code to hide the navigation bar:

   Main.NavControl.NavigationBarVisible = False

How can I achieve the same in B4A for B4XPages?

2. Adding Buttons to the Left and Right Sides of the Navigation Bar
In B4i, I add buttons to the navigation bar using this code:

   Dim bb As BarButton
   bb.InitializeText(Chr(0xF3FB), "hamburger")
   bb.SetFont(xui.CreateFont2(Font.CreateNew2(Helper.FontIcon, 24), 24))
   Dim aa As BarButton
   aa.InitializeText(Chr(0xF189), "notification")
   aa.SetFont(xui.CreateFont2(Font.CreateNew2(Helper.FontIcon, 24), 24))

   B4XPages.GetNativeParent(B4XPages.MainPage).TopLeftButtons = Array(bb)
   B4XPages.GetNativeParent(B4XPages.MainPage).TopRightButtons = Array(aa)

How can I replicate this functionality in B4A for B4XPages?

Any guidance or code examples for handling these navigation bar customizations in B4A would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Android is a completely different animal than iOS, but take a look at this thread, this can help you understand better what you are trying to do, you can always customize things, like create your custom views, but I think this thread here explains better what you are trying to accomplish
