B4A Library [Class] Flexible Table

This thread will be used by Erel, Melamoud and myself to discuss / post new releases of the Table class.

The table class is a flexible UI component that enable scrollable table like UI, with sortable columns, multiselect rows etc

the table is very efficient, maintaining labels only for visible rows

old thread with details : http://www.b4x.com/forum/additional...view-supports-tables-any-size.html#post110901

The class depend on following libraries:
- StringUtils (standard)
- SQL (standard)
- JavaObject (standard)
- B4XCollections (standard)
- ScrollView2D (additional)

List of major features.
1. scrollable table UI
2. sortable columns
3. select a row, cell or multi select rows
4. callback for selection / click a cell / row
5. callback for long click action
6. read / write to CSV file

Current version --> 3.35 Custom View
Current version --> 1.44 Class

Other complementary routines:

Load data with the Remote Database Connector.

EDIT: LucaMs has written a routine to fill a table with a Remote Database Connector query result see post 182.
The routine hasn't been added into the Class for the reasons explained in post 183.
A sample program can be found HERE.

Code:

'load data from a RDC Request
'Result = DBResult object got from a RDC request
'AutomaticWidths  True > set the column widths automaticaly
'Written by LucasMs
Public Sub LoadRDCResult(Result As DBResult, AutomaticWidths As Boolean)
    cAutomaticWidths = AutomaticWidths
    NumberOfColumns = Result.Columns.Size
    innerClearAll(NumberOfColumns)

    Dim Headers(NumberOfColumns) As String
    Dim ColumnWidths(NumberOfColumns) As Int
    Dim HeaderWidths(NumberOfColumns) As Int
    Dim DataWidths(NumberOfColumns) As Int
    Dim col, row As Int
    Dim str As String
    For col = 0 To NumberOfColumns - 1
        Headers(col) = Result.Columns.GetKeyAt(col)
        If AutomaticWidths = False Then
            ColumnWidths(col) = 130dip
            HeaderWidths(col) = 130dip
            DataWidths(col) = 130dip
        Else
            HeaderWidths(col) = cvs.MeasureStringWidth(Headers(col), Typeface.DEFAULT, cTextSize) + 8dip + cLineWidth
            DataWidths(col) = 0

            Dim FieldValue As Object
            For row = 0 To Result.Rows.Size - 1
                Dim Record() As Object = Result.Rows.Get(row)
                FieldValue = Record(col)
                If GetType(FieldValue) = "java.lang.String" Then
                    DataWidths(col) = Max(DataWidths(col), cvs.MeasureStringWidth(str, Typeface.DEFAULT, cTextSize) + 8dip + cLineWidth)
                End If
            Next
            ColumnWidths(col) = Max(HeaderWidths(col), DataWidths(col))
        End If
    Next
    SetHeader(Headers)
    SetColumnsWidths(ColumnWidths)

    For Each Record() As Object In Result.Rows
        Dim R(NumberOfColumns) As String
        Dim FieldV As String
        For col = 0 To NumberOfColumns - 1
            FieldV = Record(col)
            R(col) = FieldV
        Next
        AddRow(R)
    Next
End Sub

This is another routine updated by cimperia in post #392 using a Map for the columns and a List for the rows.

'For a Table added in the Designer, this is new
'No need to initialize nor add it onto a parent view

For a Table added in the code:
The Initialize routine has been splittend into two routines.
New:
Initialize (CallBack As Object, EventName As String)
InitializeTable (vNumberOfColumns As Int, cellAlignement As Int, showStatusL As Boolean)
'Example:
Table1.Initialize(Me, "Table1")
Table1.InitializeTable(5, Gravity.CENTER_HORIZONTAL, True)

Old:
Initialize(CallBack As Object, EventName As String, vNumberOfColumns As Int, cellAlignement As Int, showStatusL As Boolean)
Example:
Table1.Initialize(Me, "Table1", 5, Gravity.CENTER_HORIZONTAL, True)

EDIT: 2015.04.29 Version 1.43

Changed he LoadSQLiteDB routine, version 1.41 didn't work as expected.
The final solution was suggested by cimperia HERE.

EDIT: 2015.04.16 Version 1.41
Changed the LoadSQLiteDB routine according to the error reported in the SQL issue thread
and the SQLite Cursor GetString versus GetDouble thread.
The problem appears with numbers bigger than 999999.

With the amount of pages there are on this thread, I have no idea if this has been asked yet but,

is there a way to select a row then select it again to be able to deselect it (pretty much just removing the color of the selected row)?

Also, is there a way to change the color of the selected row?

 

[klaus]

is there a way to select a row then select it again to be able to deselect it

Directly no, but you can use a workaround:
Define a Global variable SelectedRow = -1 As Int
And use the CellClick event like this:

Sub Table2_CellClick(col As Int, row As Int)
    If SelectedRow >= 0 And SelectedRow = row Then
        Table2.clearSelection 'this removes the selection and removes the selected row color
        SelectedRow = -1
    Else
        SelectedRow = row
    End If
End Sub

Also, is there a way to change the color of the selected row?

Yes, you have the SelectedRowColor and SelectedCellColor properties which can be defined in the Designer or in the code.

I have seen that there are no SelectedRowTextColor and SelectedCellTextColor properties.
I will add these today and I will also add a property, ZeroSelections, allowing to have no selection.

 

[klaus]

The Table class has been updated to version 3.04.
- Added SelectedRowTextColor and SlectedCellTextColor properties
- Added ZeroSelections property, True > when a selected row is pressed it will be unselected False > it remains selected.

 

[AnandGupta]

The Table clas has been updated to version 3.04.

I think the #1 post is not updated with latest version.
Or I am looking at wrong place.

Regards,

Anand

 

[klaus]

Sorry, I was sure that I did it, but after your post I saw that I removed the previous version without uploading the new version!?

Thanks got it, but updates text is still due, I think.

Just had a look at the latest version and noticed it still uses the old selection sort.
I found this to be quite slow and changed it with the SortType method on a list.
This is indeed a lot faster and I posted about this and I think you were going to look into it
and maybe incorporate it. This is a long time ago. How is the situation regarding this?

[klaus]

It seems that I missed or forgot it.
Can you please send me the link to your post, I haven't found it.

The Flexible Table has been updated to version 3.05.
Added the FirstColumnFixed property which allows to fix the first column, asked HERE.

 

[klaus]

The Flexible Table has been updated to version 3.06.
Amended some bugs, especially one related to FirstColumnFixed.

 

[Eric McDonald]

Not sure if this has been asked yet but I haven't been able to find it anywhere on this forums or google.

But is there a way to take a table and save it as a CSV file then be able to take a different table and save it into the same CSV file under the existing rows?

I appreciate any help.

 

[klaus]

Yes!
There are two methods:
SaveTableToCSV(Dir As String, Filename As String)
SaveTableToCSV2(Dir As String, Filename As String, SeparatorChar As String)

You could have found it on your own.
In the IDE, type the name of the Table object and a dot, like in the example Table1.

The inline help shows all the methods and properties for the Table object.

 

[Eric McDonald]

I have tried that method but what I am trying to do is explained with the comments in the code below

    If File.Exists(File.DirRootExternal,"CSV_Test.csv") = True Then
        'Take the data from the existing CSV file and store it somewhere
        'Add that data to a new CSV file
        'The below row will take that saved data from the old CSV file and take the data
        'from the new table and add it to a new CSV file
        register.SaveTableToCSV(File.DirRootExternal,"CSV_Test.csv")
    Else
        register.SaveTableToCSV(File.DirRootExternal,"CSV_Test.csv")
    End If

Just trying to find something that will do what I'm trying to do in my code, not necessarily go the route of checking if the file already exists.

 

[klaus]

Sorry, I hadn't read your post deeply enough.
It is not possible, in the current version, to append the table content to an existing *.csv file.
The SaveTableToCSV routines are based on the StringUtils library which doesn't allow to append data.
To append data you need to write your own routine.

 

[Erel]

The SaveTableToCSV routines are based on the StringUtils library which doesn't allow to append data.

Note that there is a relatively new B4X implementation of CSV parser and generator: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/b4x-csvparser-csv-parser-and-generator.110901/#content
It is a more flexible than StringUtils.

 

[Eric McDonald]

Is there a relatively possible way to be able to take the values (As Strings) from the table and have that text be auto-filled into an existing Edit Text?
I.e. An edit selected feature when a button is pressed, an existing edit text control will be filled with the specified value from the table.

Going along with this feature to actually make it work, is there a way to check if a certain row is selected using Register_CellClick as a way to take the values from that specific row?

 

[klaus]

You can use the Table_CellClick(col As Int, row As Int) event which returns the selected row and column.
You have the Value = Table.GetValue(col, row) method which returns the value of the cell with the given row and column index.
You can define two variables to save the row and col values and or save the content with the method above.

You have Table.SelectedRows, the list of the selected row indexes without the selected column indexes.
Table.SelectedRows.Size returns the number of selected rows. If you set Table.MultiSelect = True you can select several rows.
Table.SelectedRows.Get(0) returns the index of the first selected row and Table.SelectedRows.Get(1) the next one and so on.
