B4J Question B4X setpadding for B4XView?

[MrKim]

I have found code to setPadding for B4A and B4i but I can't find anything on B4J.
It would be nice to have one routine that could be called for all but if there is code for B4J that would begreat.

Thanks.

Which type of view?

Which type of view?

Right now, just some labels.

You can add this to the Extra CSS field:

-fx-padding: 5;

Another option, which is simpler if you are building a cross platform solution, is to put the label inside a panel.

And make the label slightly smaller than the panel?

Yes.

 

[MrKim]

Yes.

Sigh, I have to get over this idea that adding additional views/panes/panels adds a lot of overhead and complexity
Thank you

That's true

Only if you are adding more than 500 - 1000 views at once, then start thinking about the cost of such panels.

If we are talking about "layout performance" then check the Pleroma APK: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/b4x-b4xpages-pleroma-mastodon-client-step-1.119426/ (do note the warning about the content).
