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:
B4X: 
'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 row = 0 To Rows.Size - 1
        Dim Record() As Object = 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 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)

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:

Handled this now in a better way as commenting out these 2 lines:

B4X: 
    If IsVisible Then
        'SV2_ScrollChanged(0, 0)
        Log("innerClearAll")
        'SVF_ScrollChanged(0)
    End If

at bottom of Sub innerClearAll, caused rare problems with the table display in that some rows remained
grey.

Instead only commenting out this line in innerClearAll:

B4X: 
SVF.ScrollPosition = 0

Solves the mentioned problem, without any detrimental effect I have seen so far.
Why this problem only occurred in one particular table remains a mystery to me as there is nil I can see that is different compared
to many other flexible table I have in my app.

RBS
Click to expand...
I said I could see no difference with other flexible tables in my app, but there is one difference:
This is a B4XPages project with about 30 flexible tables.
There are 3 pages with a flexible table where the page is created on startup of the app.
The layout (so also the flexible table) is loaded in the Sub B4XPage_Created:

B4X: 
'This event will be called once, before the page becomes visible.
Private Sub B4XPage_Created (Root1 As B4XView)
    Root = Root1
    Root.Tag = iPageCode 'so we can see in clsMenu we are getting the right root
    Load_Layout
End Sub

Of these 3 flexible tables on these 3 pages there are 2 that show the mentioned problem.

I have done some logging of the flexible table class, to do with the Sub innerClearAll and that shows the following logs on startup of the app:

DesignerCreateView, Table name: tblSavedSQL
InitTable, called by: DesignerCreateView
innerClearAll, called by: InitTable
DesignerCreateView, Table name: tblSQLResult
InitTable, called by: DesignerCreateView
innerClearAll, called by: InitTable
DesignerCreateView, Table name: tblDBBrowser
InitTable, called by: DesignerCreateView
innerClearAll, called by: InitTable

Now the tables that show the mentioned problem are tblSQLResult and tblDBBrowser. No other tables show the mentioned problem.

Apart from the way the way B4XPage, (holding the flexible) is started there is no difference with all the other flexible tables.
So, I am guessing the mentioned problem has to do with the way the page is started, except tblSavedSQL doesn't show the mentioned
problem.

Still seen no problem yet with commenting out:

B4X: 
SVF.ScrollPosition = 0

In innerClearAll in the flexible table class.

I managed to make a test project that shows this problem.
Note that this is using the Table custom view, without any alterations.
Attached the zipped project.

To show the problem compile the app and press the fifth item (the +-) on the menubar and do a scroll down (finger going up).
Note that if you scroll again it won't go back to row 1 as mentioned before.

Two things to do with this:
1. The mentioned problem doesn't seem to be happening in Debug mode.
2. I noticed sorting the table is still very slow with the selection sort, so uploaded a new project with faster table sorting.

Some other additions:
1. Allowing non UTF-8 .csv files to be imported
2. Having the option to skip columns in the .csv file to be imported
3. Speeding up the column width measurement

The third icon on the menubar does the original Sub LoadTableFromCSV2 (but with the increased sorting speed)
The fourth icon on the menubar does a new Sub LoadTableFromCSV3 having options 1, 2 and 3 but imports a UTF-8 file
The fifth icon on the menubar imports a windows-1252 file and skips 4 columns

Also added a timer to making this easier to log.
The described scrolling bug will still show.

To amend the scrolling back to the first row is solved by this in the SV2_ScrollChanged routine.
Move the SVF.ScrollToNow(PosY) line just after If SVFScrolls = False Then

B4X: 
Private Sub SV2_ScrollChanged(PosX As Int, PosY As Int)
    SV2Scrolls = True
    If SVFScrolls = False Then
        SVF.ScrollToNow(PosY)
        Scroll(PosX, PosY)
        SV2PosX = PosX
'        SVF.ScrollToNow(PosY)
    End If

I had also seen the problem with grey cells, but I have never found why this does happen.

I made some further investigations with the scrolling problem.
The problem appears when FastScroll is activated and the table is relatively long.
It seems that the program cannot update the cells fast enough when the user scrolls fast.

Thanks, will change that and let you know if there still is a problem.
Any chance you could incorporate the altered table sorting code?
It doesn't seem a major change and it will definitely be useful to have a much faster sort.

I had a look at the new sorting code.
Sorry, but I will not add those because:
It needs three more libraries: B4XPages, RandomAccessFile and Reflection
It needs two more classes.
It will increase the code size by 30%.
Currently it must be a B4XPages project.
This could probably be avoided by moving the GetCharacterEncodingFromFile routine to the Table module.
And removing the two variables bMultiColumnSort and bSortTableCaseInsensitive in the B4XMainPage and add those as properties to the Table module.
Currently there is one Type declaration in the Enum module and to avoid adding also this module, the declaration should be moved somewhere else.
Then, you might have trouble with a double Type declaration.

I do not know if many users use the sorting and how many out of them need a quick sorting.
And all the others do not need these additional libraries and classes and code.

It needs three more libraries: B4XPages, RandomAccessFile and Reflection
It needs two more classes.
It will increase the code size by 30%.
Currently it must be a B4XPages project.
This could probably be avoided by moving the GetCharacterEncodingFromFile routine to the Table module.
And removing the two variables bMultiColumnSort and bSortTableCaseInsensitive in the B4XMainPage and add those as properties to the Table module.
Currently there is one Type declaration in the Enum module and to avoid adding also this module, the declaration should be moved somewhere else.
Then, you might have trouble with a double Type declaration.

I do not know if many users use the sorting and how many out of them need a quick sorting.
And all the others do not need these additional libraries and classes and code.

It doesn't need to increase the code size by 30%.
It also doesn't need those 3 added libraries. They were just added to my demo project to demonstrate the mentioned scrolling bug to make it
all look like my big main project.
The whole Enums module is not needed either.
bMultiColumnSort and bSortTableCaseInsensitive can be left out as well.

How about I upload minimally altered custom view class with nil else?
My guess is that many users do use the sorting and it being so slow is a bit of a nuisance.

Downloaded TableV3_33 from the original Flexible Table posting and made the alterations to the Table class and also to Main.
I then zipped the modules Main and Table and attached that as a .zip.
All the added code is marked as: RBS, Added.
The only library to be added extra is B4XCollections as that is used in the sorting code.
Have tested it and it seems to work all fine.
Note that the first table in Main (people) will sort properly as the datatypes are added, but the second table (Cities) don't sort properly
as all the columns have the data type T.
Multi-column sort and case-insensitive sort are both False by default.

This is because of the transparent color.
When you scroll the other columns to the left, the header of these columns moves to the left behind the header of the fixed columns and you see the header of these columns in the lines of the fixed columns header.
Why do you want to set the TableColor to transparent ?

I knew this, I explained you why this happens.
Try the added project.
I had to add a Panel for the Header to limit its visibility, which was 'normally' hidden by the Header of the fixed columns.
