B4A Library [B4X] [XUI] AS TextFieldAdvanced - Title, Information, Counter, Password, Button, Prefix, Suffix, Icons, Multiline

Alexander Stolte · Jun 21, 2022

With this view you can quickly and easily add good looking text fields, with title and or bottom text. Additionally you can make the TextField a button, so that you can open menus, but still keep the design of the text fields.
The view speeds up development because you don't have to worry about almost anything, it looks nice by default and is functional.

I spend a lot of time in creating views, like this and to create a high quality view cost a lot of time. If you want to support me and further views, then you can do it here by Paypal or with a coffee.

~~In B4J the view does not work properly yet, I am working on fixing the bugs.~~ B4J works now

Now it is aligned, thanks!

The other issue, when the textbox contains text, althow it calls the refresh method, the hint continues to display behind. If the text changes after the initial setup, then the hint dissapears.
I did solved with (Line 630 aprox).

B4X:

    If g_Hint.IgnoreProperties = False Then
        If m_HasFocus Then
            xlbl_Hint.TextColor = g_Hint.FocusedTextColor
        Else
            xlbl_Hint.TextColor = g_Hint.NonFocusedTextColor
        End If
        xlbl_Hint.Font = g_Hint.xFont
        xlbl_Hint.Text = IIf(g_Hint.Visible,g_Hint.Text,"")
        If m_Mode = "Multiline" Then
            xlbl_Hint.SetTextAlignment("TOP",m_TextAlignment)
        End If
        If xtf_Multiline.IsInitialized Then text=xtf_Multiline.Text '<---New
        If xtf_TextField.IsInitialized Then text=xtf_TextField.Text '<---New
        If xtf_TextFieldPassword.IsInitialized Then text=xtf_TextFieldPassword.Text '<---New
        g_Hint.Visible=(text.length=0) '<---New
    End If

Same thing with the clear button if there is text present, it wont show, which I resolved by calling in Sub Style to call the TextChanged function at the end:

B4X:

    xpnl_TextFieldBackground.SetColorAndBorder(m_BackgroundColor,g_TextFieldProperties.BorderWidth,IIf(m_HasFocus,g_TextFieldProperties.FocusedShapeColor,g_TextFieldProperties.NonFocusedShapeColor),g_TextFieldProperties.CornerRadius)

    sleep(0)
    If xtf_TextField.IsInitialized Then TextChanged(xtf_TextField.Text)
    If xtf_TextFieldPassword.IsInitialized Then TextChanged(xtf_TextFieldPassword.Text)
    If xtf_Multiline.IsInitialized Then TextChanged(xtf_Multiline.Text)   
End Sub

I cannot reproduce the error. But I'm not satisfied with your solution either, so I don't want to add this blindly.
The variable "text" does not exist at all at this point.

fbritop · Aug 4, 2023

I understand, it is just an aproach to fulfill mi requierments...
text comes from a little up (I forgot to include it, line 630 aprox)

B4X:

    'Hint Options
    Dim text as String=""
    If g_Hint.IgnoreProperties = False Then
        If m_HasFocus Then
            xlbl_Hint.TextColor = g_Hint.FocusedTextColor
        Else
            xlbl_Hint.TextColor = g_Hint.NonFocusedTextColor
        End If
        xlbl_Hint.Font = g_Hint.xFont
        xlbl_Hint.Text = IIf(g_Hint.Visible,g_Hint.Text,"")
        
        If m_Mode = "Multiline" Then
            xlbl_Hint.SetTextAlignment("TOP",m_TextAlignment)
        End If
        
        If xtf_Multiline.IsInitialized Then text=xtf_Multiline.Text
        If xtf_TextField.IsInitialized Then text=xtf_TextField.Text
        If xtf_TextFieldPassword.IsInitialized Then text=xtf_TextFieldPassword.Text
        g_Hint.Visible=(text.length=0)
    End If

- BugFixes

I found a bug, in the ClearButton_Click event I called the TextChanged function too early before I made the text empty. And in another place something was wrong with the hint. If it still occurs now, I ask you for an example project. I would already know why.

i did:

TextChanged Event of TextField and TextView is always triggered twice

When I enter a letter, the TextChanged event is always triggered 2 times, once with the correct NewText and the 2nd time the OldText is in the NewText. Why is this so? I did not notice this before. Example is attached

www.b4x.com

Test it on a real device.

I think two elements are hard-coded to always be white: Information and Counter. It would be nice if they too could be set in the Designer.

They are not hard coded.

B4X:

AS_TextFieldAdvanced1.Counter.TextColor = xui.Color_Black
AS_TextFieldAdvanced1.Information.TextColor = xui.Color_Black
AS_TextFieldAdvanced1.Refresh

I think I've found a bug affecting B4i. The TextChanged event is called twice, first with the current text, then with the previous text. (Or perhaps with the current one, minus the last char.)

This can be verified using the example project, by adding this code:

B4X:

Private Sub AS_TextFieldAdvanced_1_TextChanged(Text As String)
    Log(Text)
End Sub

Typing 123 gives this log:

B4X:

1
(empty string)
12
1
123
12

I had a look at the library code, but it wasn't obvious to me what the problem could be - sorry.

Unfortunately, this is a simulator bug that I have no influence on, as I simply pass on the native event.

TextChanged Event of TextField and TextView is always triggered twice

When I enter a letter, the TextChanged event is always triggered 2 times, once with the correct NewText and the 2nd time the OldText is in the NewText. Why is this so? I did not notice this before. Example is attached

Ah, thanks. And just to be super clear: This is only seen in the simulator, so I should not be worried it will show up in real devices?

Correct. Since I use the native TextField from B4I, which has been in use in all B4I applications for years.

- BugFix - If ShowRevealButton = True and PasswordField = False - Then the gap was still present at the end of the textfield

I think I've found a minor bug. If you enable the counter and enter an emoji into the field, it's counted as two characters. It should probably still be counted as one, even though it consumes two bytes.

(I imagine some unicode characters can take more than two bytes.)
