Android Question B4XPages

[Helio]

How to create a designer for each page in a project that uses B4XPages?

 

[makis_best]

What you mean?
In a new page need to create the layout you want, save it with a name and load it in the new page like:

Private Sub B4XPage_Created (Root1 As B4XView)
Root = Root1
Root.LoadLayout("Login")

Take a look at the example here

Thanks. I have already managed to partially resolve this issue. Now the controls that I add to the form, like edittext, are not responding!

You may have a look at the B4XPages Cross-platform projects booklet.

 

[Helio]

Thank you Klauss. I'll take a look!

Can I download it?

Fyi - in the Android world we call them Activities, Layouts ("forms") & Views ("controls"), or I guess if you're using B4XPages it would be Activities, Layouts & Views? I know it seems I'm being pedantic, but if you're posting in the forum looking for assistance it's easier if you use the same terminology as everyone else.

Can I download it?

Sure!
You can download all the booklets from this thread: B4X Documentation Booklets.
The link is on top of the page, it contains all booklets and the source code of all examples.

I understand, but for those who came from visual basic and are starting in this world, unfamiliarity is natural.

 

[Helio]

I read the booklet and cleared up some doubts, but I still can't create a layout for the additional pages, apart from the main one. I downloaded even the B4J to test faster. I create a new layout, saved with the same name as the page, but I can't get the controls (Views) to be recognized in the specific page module.

No need to do anything special for that.

Please upload your project (Ctrl + click on the comment at the top of the main page).

This is the project!

Here you are.
You had not added the B4XPage1 file to the project and had not added a layout for page 1.

 

[Helio]

I don't understand then. In my view, both the code module (B4XPage1) and the layout (B4XPage1.bjl) of page 1 are present in the project. I created the project in B4J, but both in B4J and B4A the module and layout appear, although in B4A it is a little more confusing!

Watch the B4XPages tutorial on this page.

In the IDE of each product you need to add the xxx.bas file as an existing module with a relative link.
The layouts are different for each product, you cannot use a xxx.bjl file in the B4A program, but you can copy views from a B4J layout to a B4A layout.
As already suggested, you might read the B4XPages Cross-platform projects booklet, the above is explained on page 22.

 

[Helio]

Sorry, Krauss, but the booklet doesn't explain how to add the layout to the project. It simply says it is simple to do, but it does not say how. I just wanted to understand how to call a page (layout) and have it displayed. In this example, page 1 should be displayed with the layout with an ImageView loaded with an image. A log is displayed 'Layout file' B4XPage1.bjl 'is not used'.

 

[Helio]

By poking here and there in the project and looking at similar questions from other people, resolved or not, I managed to unravel the mystery. The page module, Root.LoadLayout, was missing to load it. In my case, Root.LoadLayout ("B4XPage1"), in Private Sub B4XPage_Created.
