Great Library!

Is is possible to have two panels, like some android tablet versions have, a tab on the right other on the left ?

This way I can have 2 context of stuff in each panel.

Thanks !

This class works great on Android. Thank you Alexander!

Currently I’m struggling with it B4i. I added a reference to GestureRecognizer found here. Now it compiles without any error. But the menu does not show up at all. Probably I’m doing some wrong when initializing the card like this:

B4X: 
Private Sub Application_Start (Nav As NavigationController)
    NavControl = Nav
    MainPage.Initialize("MainPage")
    MainPage.RootPanel.LoadLayout("frm_main")
    NavControl.ShowPage(MainPage)
    
    asdbc_main.Initialize(Me,"asdbc_main")
    asdbc_main.Create(MainPage.RootPanel,MainPage.RootPanel.Height/2,MainPage.RootPanel.Height - 60dip,50dip,MainPage.RootPanel.Width - 20dip,asdbc_main.Orientation_MIDDLE)
    asdbc_main.HeaderPanel.LoadLayout("frm_header")
    asdbc_main.BodyPanel.LoadLayout("frm_body")
    
End Sub

I provided a simple B4i Example that can be used to test this issue. Any help is appreciated!

Thanks, Thomas

on this sub you need this:
B4X: 
#If B4I
Wait For B4XPage_Resize (Width As Int, Height As Int)
#End If
before you do something visual.

Hi. When i only include the class file and compile the app it say:

B4A Versión: 10.2
Java Versión: 8
Parseando código. (0.68s)
Building folders structure. (0.63s)
Compilando código. (1.20s)
Compilado códigos de diseños. (0.06s)
Organizando librerías. (0.04s)
(AndroidX SDK)
Generando el fichero R. (1.72s)
Compilando el código del motor de depuración. (5.71s)
Compilando el código Java generado. Error
El nombre del archivo o la extensión es demasiado largo

"The archive name or the extension is a lot of large"

However in your example it works ok.

If i remove the class file from the project and compile again then compilation is ok.

EDIT: I just passed from Java 8 to java 11 (as recommended in the B4A installation) and I no longer have that error when compiling the app.

EDIT2: Again, even with Java 11, the class name or its extension is too long. The issue is only when i compile it in Debug mode. It works in Release mode. If i compile it in Release mode and then i compile again in Debug mode then it doesn't give me the error...

  • New B4XPages Example
You can now make the header corner rounded, without doing it with tricks in the designer

yeah, i forgot that we need in B4I this before we add the menu: Wait For B4XPage_Resize (Width As Int, Height As Int)
I updated the example project.
And do not forget, to uncheck "HandleResizeEvent" and remove the AutoScale in the designer on B4I, B4J and B4A.

Feature suggestion:
  • A way to check if "IsOpen" is opened full or open half-way only. Yes, I can create global variable to manage and check this but it would be nice if the library offers it
  • An option to disable the dragging ( ASDraggableBottomCard .Dragable = False) something like that?
  • Maybe an event for ExpandHalf and ExpandFull? Might not be needed if there is a way to check if its current ExpandHalf or Exp[andFull

Works really nice right now :)
