Android Tutorial [B4X] [B4XPages] Splash Screen

B4A, B4i and B4J splash screen implementation. The implementation is different in each platform.

1. Don't miss the manifest editor code in B4A.
2. Don't use %y in the code. Use Root.Height instead (you can use %y in the designer script).

There was a bug in the B4A implementation. Updated project is attached to the first post.

The fix is in B4XMainPage line 37:

Do While Activity2.HeightChangedFired = False And DateTime.Now < start + 500 'it was OR instead of And

What would the Gradient background look like

Thank you so much for this great example!, is it possible if an example can be added for the default way (non-b4xpages), I understand if not possible.

Thanks again!

Splash Screen

Simple sub to create a splash screen. Sub ShowSplashScreen Dim sp As Form sp.Initialize("sp", 600, 600) sp.SetFormStyle("TRANSPARENT") sp.BackColor = fx.Colors.Transparent 'change image here CSSUtils.SetBackgroundImage(sp.RootPane, File.DirAssets...

I mean using Gradient colors

Simplest way is to set it in the layout file. The splash layout will be loaded very quickly.

Thank you it works great. But is there any way to make the splash screen transparent? I mean i want only to show a transparent png file only without any other background.

 

[Erel]

I guess that you are asking about B4A, it should be possible with a translucent activity. I haven't tried it.

Why does it have to be so complex and is a second Activity needed?


(I'm about to search on site how to have a full screen B4XPage, with "Immersive mode" too).
P.S. Setting #FullScreen = True - #IncludeTitle = False seems to show a "full screen B4XPage" (although I have to "remove" the rounded corners of Root some way, since: Root.SetColorAndBorder(Root.Color, 0, xui.Color_Transparent, 0)
it's not enough).
"Immersive mode"... I still have to try (I had problems with it even with non-B4XPages).

 

[Erel]

Because the first activity is a full screen activity and the second one isn't.

Because the first activity is a full screen activity and the second one isn't.

[I have to read the code better]

I will open a new thread about "Full screen B4XPage" "Immersive mode with BXPages" (um... two threads ?)

I tried to explain the example on the first post clearly and step by step:
