B4A Library [B4X] [XUI] AS FloatingActionButton [Payware]

Alexander Stolte · Dec 18, 2020

HeyHo,
this is a cross platform Floating Action Button.

This library is not free, because, it cost a lot of time and gray hair to create such views.

AS FloatingActionButton

A cross platform Floating Action Button.

Thanks for your understanding.

Example of the icon rotation animation:

Sub ASFloatingActionButton1_ButtonClicked(open As Boolean)
    If open = True Then
        ASFloatingActionButton1.Base.GetView(1).SetRotationAnimated(250,135)
    Else
        ASFloatingActionButton1.Base.GetView(1).SetRotationAnimated(250,0)
    End If
End Sub

The orientation property is always based on the position of the view on your screen. That is, if you position the view at the bottom right, then use "BottomRight".

B4X:

ASFloatingActionButton1.Orientation = ASFloatingActionButton1.Orientation_BottomRight

The menu opens from bottom to top and the text is flush on the left.

B4X:

ASFloatingActionButton1.Orientation = ASFloatingActionButton1.Orientation_TopLeft

The menu opens from top to bottom and the text is flush on the right

Since 1.03 you can set FontAwesome and Material Icons to the view. Examples:

Set Main Button a Material Icon:

ASFloatingActionButton1.ButtonIconText.Font = xui.CreateMaterialIcons(24)'because the icon we want to display is an Material Icon
ASFloatingActionButton1.ButtonIconText.Text = Chr(0xE145)

Add Item Buttons with Font Icons:

ASFloatingActionButton1.ItemButtonProperties.IconText_Font = xui.CreateMaterialIcons(20)'because the next 2 item we want to add is a Material Icon
ASFloatingActionButton1.AddItem(Null,Chr(0xE859),"Test Text","")
ASFloatingActionButton1.AddItem(Null,Chr(0xE87D),"Test Text","")

ASFloatingActionButton1.ItemButtonProperties.BackgroundColor = xui.Color_ARGB(255,73, 98, 164)'the next item should be a blue button
ASFloatingActionButton1.ItemButtonProperties.IconText_Font = xui.CreateFontAwesome(20)'because the next item we want to add is a FontAwesome Icon
ASFloatingActionButton1.AddItem(Null,Chr(0xF179),"Test Text","")

So maybe i need to search in b4i or imac.

Thank you

[Edit]
After imac update, reinstall B4iBuildServer finaly it works.
Also corrected some other visual bugs like a label that didn't want to become circle !
Thank you

Hello @Alexander Stolte, I get the component. Thanks!

2 things about the lib:
1 - The "Item But^ton Background" property has an accent ( ^ ) in the name (not a problem).

2 - When the user press the Back button, I check if is panels visible in my screen and hide it.
Is possible to check if is the ASFloatingActionButton is open to close it when press the Back button?

Thanks in advance.
