B4a: XUi,BitmapCreator,Reflection,xCustomListView,XUI Views
B4i: iXUI,iBitmapCreator,xCustomListView,XUI Views

On B4I you need the GestureRecognizer or download a version without errors down below. No longer needed V1.06+
Examples:

Dim tmp_lst As List : tmp_lst.Initialize 'Create and Initialize the list
    'Fill the list with dummy items
    For i = 0 To 50 -1
    'text - the text to display in the wheel
    'value - any value you want to identify the text E.g. a id
    tmp_lst.Add(CreateMap("text":"Test " & i,"value":i))
Next
ASWheelPicker1.AddWheelAdvanced(tmp_lst)'adds the list to the view and adds a wheel

'gets the item of the first wheel
'use this function when you have added the wheel with AddWheelAdvanced
Dim tmp_m As Map = ASWheelPicker1.GetSelectedItemAdvanced(0)
Log("Text: " & tmp_m.Get("text"))

[Alexander Stolte]

sorry, it doesn't work

sorry, I can't recreate it in B4A.
The following things could be the solution:
-Check in the library tab in your project if the ASWheelPicker has the version 3.17
-ASWheelPicker1.BorderWidth=3dip add a "dip" to the 3

If that doesn't work, please send me an example project that shows the error. Thanks a lot

 

[marcick]

here it is.
(II don't know how the border will look, but also corneradius seems it is missing)

 

[Alexander Stolte]

Update

• 3.18
  • B4A Border BugFix

here it is.
(II don't know how the border will look, but also corneradius seems it is missing)

Thanks, the problem was the fade panels. Since I find the fade effect ugly, I always have it transparent, so I haven't seen the problem.

 

[marcick]

Now it's ok, thank you. To be honest I had the fading effect without understand well what it is .... I have disabled it now.
It looks now identical to IOS.

 

[Alexander Stolte]

Update

• 3.19
  • Add RefreshCustomDraw - Triggers the CustomDrawEvent

you can now do something like this:

It's just one column and 2 extra labels

Great job.
Thanks.
if I wanted to clean a As WheelPicker how do I do it?

Update

• 3.23
  • Add Clear - Clears a column
    • SetItems already clears the list if you set a new list

Great job.

Thanks

if I wanted to clean a As WheelPicker how do I do it?

You can simply use SetItems with a new list, the WheelPicker automatically empties the list beforehand. Or you can use the new "clear" function. Note, however, that the view crashes if the user scrolls an empty list. So if the list remains empty, remove the column instead of just clearing it.

HI
I would like to change the font of my AS WheelPicker and I wrote this code:

Private Sub B4XPage_Created (Root1 As B4XView)
    Root = Root1
    Root.LoadLayout("MainPage")
    Dim asTmp(3) As String
    asTmp(0)="Ruota intervalli"
    asTmp(1)="Traspositore"
    asTmp(2)="Intonazione voci coro"
    Dim tmp_lst As List : tmp_lst.Initialize
    tmp_lst.AddAll(asTmp)   
    pckMenu.SetItems(0,tmp_lst)
    pckMenu.ItemTextProperties.TextFont=xui.CreateDefaultBoldFont(20)
    pckMenu.Refresh
End Sub

but my font remains the default without changing the size and regular and not bold.
What am I doing wrong?

If you hover over "ItemTextProperties" property with the mouse, the IDE will show you the comments that I have stored and example code if you have to comply with or observe something special.

In your case, this must be done as follows:

Dim ItemTextProperties As ASWheelPicker_ItemTextProperties = ASWheelPicker1.ItemTextProperties
ItemTextProperties.TextFont=xui.CreateDefaultBoldFont(20)
ASWheelPicker1.ItemTextProperties = ItemTextProperties

Is it possible to create a WheelPicker that puts the first element after the last element in order to create an endless picker?

 

[Alexander Stolte]

Is it possible to create a WheelPicker that puts the first element after the last element in order to create an endless picker?

No, sorry.
A solution that I have already seen in a few ios apps is. e.g. Time Picker: simply add the interval 0-23 several times, this creates the illusion for the user that it is "endless". I don't think a user would search for the value "1" more than 20 times.

Ok, thanks

 

[Alexander Stolte]

The problem is that it would be possible if the user always scrolls the list slowly. But as soon as the user scrolls quickly, unexpected behavior on the part of the list cannot be avoided. I had to struggle with this for ages with the AS_Scheduler and even now it is still not 100% perfect.

 

[Aldo's]

I would like to use MaterialIcons for the separator. I wrote this code, but it doesn't insert any comments.

    Dim ItemTextProperties As ASWheelPicker_ItemTextProperties = pckNote.ItemTextProperties
    ItemTextProperties.TextFont=xui.CreateDefaultBoldFont(16)
    pckNote.ItemTextProperties = ItemTextProperties
    Dim tmp_lst As List : tmp_lst.Initialize
    tmp_lst.AddAll(asNote)
    pckNote.SetItems(0,tmp_lst)

    Dim SepTextProp As ASWheelPicker_SeperatorProperties = pckNote.SeperatorProperties
    SepTextProp.TextFont=xui.CreateMaterialIcons(16)
    pckNote.SeperatorProperties = SepTextProp
    pckNote.SetSeperator(0,40dip,Chr(0xe5c8))
    
    pckNote.SetItems(1,tmp_lst)
    pckNote.Refresh

What am I doing wrong?

 

[Alexander Stolte]

What am I doing wrong?

You're not doing anything wrong. You can test the whole thing by using a label. Set the font of the label to "MaterialIcon" and then add a text + an icon. You will see that only the initial letter and the icon are visible. Since I am using a label, there is nothing I can do if this is the behavior of the native B4A label.
