(this is an animated gif, it is is much smoother in real usage)
BBScrollingLabel is similar to XUI Views ScrollingLabel, however it is based on BCTextEngine and can therefore display formatted text.
It is cross platform.
Usage instructions:
- Download the b4xlib and put it in the B4X additional library folder: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/103165/#content
- Add reference to BBScrollingLabel and BCTextEngine : https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...-bbcode-parser-rich-text-view.106207/#content
- Add BBScrollingLabel with the designer.
Code:
B4X:
Sub Globals
Private BBScrollingLabel1 As BBScrollingLabel
Private TextEngine As BCTextEngine
End Sub
Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
Activity.LoadLayout("1")
TextEngine.Initialize(Activity) 'change to Form.RootPane in B4J or Page.RootPanel in B4i
BBScrollingLabel1.TextEngine = TextEngine
BBScrollingLabel1.Text = $"[b][u]BBScrollingLabel[/u][/b]: [color=red]Red[/color] [color=0xFF08B31F]Green[/color] [color=blue]Blue[/color]. More information: [url]https://www.b4x.com[/url]..............."$
End Sub
Sub Activity_Resume
'this is required in B4A only (when not using B4XPages). It resumes the animation after the activity was paused.
BBScrollingLabel1.Text = BBScrollingLabel1.Text
End SubUpdates
