B4A Library [B4X] [XUI] AS ViewPager based on xCustomListView

Hey,
thanks to @KZero for his good zPager class, i was able to extract a few things from it to make this cross platform view.

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 or with a coffee. :)

This library is compatible and tested with B4A,B4I and B4J!
If you have bugs or a wish then tell me it in the comments.

Don't use autoscale in the layouts that are added to the viewpager.

On B4J use the LEFT and RIGHT keys on your keyboard to change the page.
On B4I you need the GestureRecognizer class. Download it down below.
B4j: jXUI,JavaObject,jPager,jReflection
B4a: XUi,Reflection,xCustomListView
B4i: iXUI,xCustomListView

Very nice. Thanks.
I have a doubt:
Can I use this lib as a carousel?
Like this: if I have 100 pages, when I get to the last page and move foward, I return to the first page?

maybe with a few tricks, the following approaches come to mind:
  • Dummy Item on the last
    • if i swipe to this dummy then jump2 first item
but I don't think that works reliably.

your'e lucky, i found a way on B4A and B4J. in B4I I still have to look for a workaround.

can you add a layout done on the designer?
Click to expand...
what do you mean?
you can easily load a layout with AddPage, just load the layout to the panel you want to add with AddPage.
B4X: 
Dim xpnl as B4XView
xpnl.LoadLayout("mylayout")
asv.AddPage(xpnl,"")

It could be great is there was an option to enable/disable circular slides. For example if it was enabled, when it reach the last right panel, if we try another time to the right, then it reaches the first panel. Same thing to the left, it could reach the last panel.

Update
1.12
  • [BETA] Add DesignerProperty Carousel - infinite swipe
    • On B4I Bounce Effect is disabled
  • B4I ScrollView Paging is now activated, this can improve the handling
In B4J, you simply jump to the 1st or last page, since there is no touch option there.

In all layouts where the view is used, this must be done. Unfortunately I can not change this, so the designer works with properties.
it must be because in the example project the error does not occur and according to your error message the error comes from it.

Ok, it is working now. I was using the control also in another page, but the error wasn't pointing there.

Thank you for your fantastic work.

Maybe you can do this:

[B4X] [XUI] xChart Class and b4xlib

Current version 9.8 A lite version is available: xChartLite. A mini version is also available: xChartMini. Learning B4XViews and XUI, I wrote this CustomView xChart Class. It is an evolution of Erels' Android Charts Framework. The xChart custom view is a B4X libary. It works on all three...

Hi, I'm planning in making a visual novel style app using this library
user must take a choice and use button to jump to another page, no swiping.
set Enable = false didn't do anything
