Hi there

Updated the date-picker examples in the Kitchen Sink: This date picker has a min and max dates and events



B4X:
Sub mounted
    'set the date   
    VDatePicker1.SetValue(about, "2018-03-02")
    'set the max date
    VDatePicker1.UpdateMax(about, "2018-03-20")
    'set the min date
    VDatePicker1.UpdateMin(about, "2018-03-05")
    'clear the events
    VDatePicker1.Clear(about)
    VDatePicker1.AddItem("2018-03-05", BANanoShared.Random_Color)
    VDatePicker1.AddItem("2018-03-06", BANanoShared.Random_Color)
    VDatePicker1.AddItem("2018-03-08", BANanoShared.Random_Color)
    VDatePicker1.AddItem("2018-03-10", BANanoShared.Random_Color)
    VDatePicker1.AddItem("2018-03-11", BANanoShared.Random_Color)
    VDatePicker1.Refresh(about)
    '
    'we are setting a range of dates, so we need to pass 2 values
    Dim tDay As String = BANanoShared.DateNow
    Dim nDay As String = BANanoShared.DateAdd(tDay, 5)
    'set the range of dates selected
    VDatePicker7.SetValueRange(about, tDay, nDay)
    'hide the loader
    vuetify.Loading(False)
End Sub

A date having different events, can show these with different specified colors.

Hi Mashi,
i'm starting use AD3 again.

I've downloaded latest version of lib and KitechenSink but have this error compiling:

contAD = about.Page.AddContainer("contad", True)

B4X:
B4J Versione: 9.30
Analisi del Codice.    (3.32s)
    Java Versione: 8
Building folders structure.    (1.79s)
Compilazione del codice.    Error
Errore nella compilazione del programma.
Descrizione dell'errore: Membro sconosciuto: addcontainer
Errore nella linea: 38
contAD = about.Page.AddContainer("contad", True)
Word: addcontainer

I've saw source lib and sub is rem :

VueComponent:
'Sub AddContainer(contID As String, bFluid As Boolean) As VueElement
'    Dim elx As VueElement = Page.AddContainer(contID, bFluid)
'    Return elx
'End Sub

I cannot solve problem, i've removed two lines :
B4X:
Private Sub btnGetCaption_Click (e As BANanoEvent)
    Dim ncaption As String = VBtn1.GetLabel(about)
    vuetify.ShowSwal(ncaption)
End Sub

and

B4X:
VDatePicker7.SetValueRange(about, tDay, nDay)

and now it work.

I think library on github havn't this functions inside

BVAD3 Root Components

This discusses an issue that was previously working before but is actually against VueJS recommendations.

Please note:

When you load a layout with

banano.LoadLayout(about.Here, "mybottomnav")

Please ensure that there is at least 1 root component like a v-container. This layout from the kitchen sink as has 3 root components. This needs to be avoided going forward as your page will definately not show due to more than 1 root component.



To fix this, we have placed these components inside a single root container.




NB: Please ensure that your root layout for a page has a single root component where all others are put inside, otherwise your page will not be displayed.

PS: All the kitchen sink layouts have been updated to have 1 single root component. Please ensure you update the layouts of your project so that they work properly, if you update the library on 2022-02-06 onwards.

TA!

Tip: Vuetable Column Coloring

The status column should be green
The servicename column should use whatever color is saved on the 'color' key for that record.

As an example, when adding a record, it has to have the color key on the list of maps.


Example

B4X:
serviceM.Put("status", "Off")
        serviceM.Put("color", "red")

Tip: Useful new pgIndex.ListView shortcuts - can be called from any page.


For example, you have a listview in pgIndex called 'drwlist'. These methods can be called from any page to manipulate that listview.

B4X:
'clear the contents
vuetify.ListViewClear("drwlist")

'add an item using BVAD3ListItem
vuetify.ListViewAddItem1("drwlist", bvad3listitem)

'update an item using BVAD3ListItem
vuetify.ListViewUpdateItem("drwlist", "1", dbad3listitem)

'make the item visible
vuetify.ListViewShowItem("drwlist", "admin")

'make the item invisible
vuetify.ListViewHideItem("drwlist", "admin")

'delete an item
vuetify.ListViewDeleteItem("drwlist", "admin")

'add a header to the listview
vuetify.ListViewAddHeader("drwlist", "This is a header")

'add a divider to the listview
vuetify.ListViewAddDivider("drwlist", True)

'add an item to the listview
vuetify.ListViewAddItem("drwlist", "", "admin", "mdi-cog", "", "Administration", "")
vuetify.ListViewAddItem("drwlist", "admin", "users", "mdi-cog", "", "Users", "/users")

'refresh the listview items, useful especially when you add treelike structures
vuetify.ListViewRefresh("drwlist")

The listview itself has its own methods that are similar

DateTimePicker Improvements & No Longer Necessary Code

This example of code is NO LONGER necessary.

1. Adding a date watcher
B4X:
'watch changes to the date and format the display date
 two.SetWatch("employee.dateofbirth", True, True, Me, "makeitnicedate", Null)
 two.SetWatch("employee.datetimeit", True, True, Me, "getdatetimeit", Null)

2. Formating the date..

B4X:
Private Sub txtDateStarted_Watch
    txtDateStarted.FormatDate(page)
End Sub

or

B4X:
sub makeitnicedate
end sub

What to do?

Comment them out of your code

Why & What happened?

A new bug was discovered by chance in a very special use case and meant the code had to be re-written.

To elaborate, the input textfield for date is made up of 3 components.

1. VMenu
2. VTextField and
3. VDatePicker

When a person selects a date on the datepicker, it filters down to the text field and menu. This is a complex process. It was working and didn't need any changes until a special use case came forward, rendering this component useless for that use case.

Applicable to any library updates from 2022-02-10 onwards

Tip: Data-Table Toolbar Buttons Loading Indicators

Assuming that you have some toolbar buttons...



Obviously, these will produce..



On your data-table toolbar.

Now, you want to run some process but then show a "loading" status of that button until a process is finished, like this..



How do you do it?

Yesterday I needed this functionality and added it to BVAD3.

With this code, you are able to toggle the loading status of your data-table toolbar buttons.

B4X:
IoT.UpdateTitleButtonLoading("stopall", True)
