set the "setCurrentTab" to 1.
But if you use this view without the middle button, i recommend this view:

[B4X] [XUI] AS Tab Menu (Bottom Menu/Navigation)

A better menu, can you find here Hey B4X-Forum! New Year, new views! :) The first one from me for this year is a better, simpler, faster and scalable Tab/Bottom-Menu. i spend a lot of time in creating views, some views i need by my self, but some views not and to create a high quality view...

do you mean setCurrentTab 2 ?

I did try to use ASBottomMenu1.setCurrentTab(1) or 2

nothing change


B4X: 
    ASBottomMenu1.SetIcon1(LoadBitmap(File.DirAssets,"home2.png"))
    ASBottomMenu1.SetIcon2(LoadBitmap(File.DirAssets,"chat.png"))
    ASBottomMenu1.MiddleButtonIcon = xui.LoadBitmap(File.DirAssets,"home2.png")
    ASBottomMenu1.UnderlineAnimation = "Normal"
    ASBottomMenu1.setMiddleButtonSize(65dip,2dip)
    ASBottomMenu1.MiddleButtonVisible = False
 
    ASBottomMenu1.setCurrentTab(1)


this is the button I want to be default when the app load, I manual select the button before take screenshot

First, i spend a lot of time in creating views, some views i need by my self, but some views not and to create a high quality view cost a lot of time. If you want to support me, then you can do it here by Paypal. :)

This is the V2 of the ASBottomMenu, with more Features, less code than the V1, B4X optimized and more...

Why a new thread for this? Because i have develope the class from the ground new, the event names etc. have been changed. The V2 is not compatible with the V1.

Thanks @Brandsum for his help with the Wave function on this menu.

Features
  • cross-platform compatible
  • reponsive design
  • 2 Underline Animations
  • easy to use
  • you can use 2,3,4 or 5 tabs
  • middle button can be visible or hide
  • badgets
  • only Text, only icons or text with icons
  • and mutch more...

Hello Alexander,

again here is a great library from you... Really impressive :)
One question though:
How can I set the background color of the middle button via code? I can see the color in the designer but I don't know how to set it from code?
And how can I set the default color of the text in the default tab in the menu via code?
Per default it is green, I can set it via
B4X: 
ASBottomMenu__main.SelectedPageIconColor= xui.Color_Cyan
but that only applies when I click it once...
Per default it looks like this:
1651072595609.png

When I clicked on it once, then it uses the color from "SelectedPageIconColor":
1651072635713.png

But I would like it to be in that color from the beginning...

Thanks :)

Best regards,

Chris

Click to expand...
with SelectedPageIconColor is text and icon color are the same, there is no way to have a other text color than the icon color.
B4X: 
SelectedPageIconColor

There are only 2 colors, the unselected color and the selected color, if you don't want the selected color, you can disable it in the designer with EnableSelectedPageColor = False

Since it is a very old library, with some questionable decisions by me back then, I can only give limited support. Small things I can change, but deep things I don't want to change anymore.

Hello Alexander,

thanks so much for your quick reaction!
I find this library (optically) really beautiful!
The other library with a bottom menu looks (from the examples) not so beautiful...

Would a re-write of this library be possible or can I do everything from this lib with the other as well?

But regarding my question and your answer:
When I set "EnableSelectedPageColor" to OFF, then the green is gone, but the of course the selectedColor as well ;-)
No chance to set the "UnselectedPageColor" via Code somewhere or did I just miss it?

And one other question:
Can I also "disable" a menu item or would I need to do this manually by changing the font color and simply ignoring any clicks on it?

Again thanks so much :)

Best regards,

Chris

No and no.
The other lib. is without middle button. But you can also just put a button in the middle or on the far right.

Update
  • V2.10
    • Add designer property UnselectedPageColor
    • Add DisableTab
    • Add EnableTab
    • Add Designer Property DisabledPageColor

One other question:
What would I need to do so that the menu starts with no pre-selection?
All tabs are deactivated in the beginning via "DisableTab", but the first tab still shows up in Green with the white line beneath it:
1651154104487.png

Tab 2 is correctly deactivated...

Thanks :)

does not work. (and also not easy to change, because this behavior is deep inside) makes absolutely no sense to me why you should do something like that, either you are on the 1st page or you are not on the 1st page, but then you also do not see the menu, because you are on another page.

Well in my case the main view controls the menu... So you do s.th. on the main view and based on the result of that, the tabs get activated (or not)... So the default startup state would be inactive for all tabs...

Hm... then I will have to think of some workaround ;-)

But again thanks for that lib, it is really great!
Besides the big button, I could do everything else with the newer lib as well if I understood you correctly (also designwise)?

yes, you can customize each tab invidually to your needs ;)
But there are also a few questionable things in it that I would do differently today.
