B4A Library [B4X] B4XDrawer - sliding drawer

Edit: Cross platform example based on B4XPages

[B4X] B4XPages + B4XDrawer

B4XDrawer v1.53 adds support for B4J. This is a good opportunity to create a B4XPages example using B4XDrawer. It does require some configuration so pay attention. The example is based on the three pages example...

www.b4x.com

A class that implements a sliding menu. Unlike the nice jfeinstein SlidingMenu library the drawer covers the activity instead of pushing it. It is similar to the various design support navigation drawer libraries.

Instructions:
1. Initialize the drawer object:

Drawer.Initialize(Me, "Drawer", Activity, 300dip) 'Page1.RootPanel in B4i

300dip = left menu width

2. Load the "Activity layout" to the drawer:

Drawer.CenterPanel.LoadLayout("1")

3. Load the menu layout:

Drawer.LeftPanel.LoadLayout("Left")

4. Handle back key (B4A):

Sub Activity_KeyPress (KeyCode As Int) As Boolean
   If KeyCode = KeyCodes.KEYCODE_BACK And Drawer.LeftOpen Then
       Drawer.LeftOpen = False
       Return True
   End If
   Return False
End Sub

5. Handle resize (B4i):

Private Sub Page1_Resize(Width As Int, Height As Int)
   Drawer.Resize(Width, Height)
End Sub

The attached example is based on AppCompat. However you can use it in any project you like. You can also customize its behavior. The code is not too complicated.

Updates:

- 1.55 - New StateChanged (Open As Boolean) event.
- 1.53 - Adds support for B4J (without gestures). No need to update if using with B4A or B4i.
- 1.52 - Clicks on the drawer panel are not passed to the underlying panel.
- 1.51 - GestureEnabled property.

B4XDrawer is distributed as a b4xlib. It is an internal library.

Thanks Erel, I had already downloaded and "installed" this library, but I installed it into my additional libraries not noticing it was in the Anywhere libraries (previous version). Your post made me search this out.

Hi Don,
When I install B4a, it creates a folder: D:\Program Files (x86)\Anywhere Software\Basic4android\Libraries
My additional libraries is in a folder: D:\Survey Projects\ANDROID LIBRARIES
Both folders had a copy of the ViewEX library, I failed to delete one and update the other with the new version.
The app was finding the OLD one...that's all.

Hi Don,
When I install B4a

I did read your post....

BUT i was just wondering why you are answering with "thanx, EREL" when answering my post.

 

[Rusty]

V1.51 released with a new GestureEnabled property.

["Class" in title?]

 

[Erel]

["Class" in title?]

The difference between the two is quite small. Most or all of the [B4X] "libraries" are written in B4X. The only difference is whether the source code is provided or not...

 

[LucaMs]

The only difference is whether the source code is provided or not..

This is why I suggested adding "Class" to the title, because the source is available.

V1.52 released. See first post.
