B4A Library [Class] TableView - Supports tables of any size

Mahares · Mar 10, 2013

@Enrico: Melamooud is probably correct. It should be a different thread. But anyway, since ' is a special character. It needs to be escaped. Try something like this to apply to your case so you do not have to worry about it:

B4X:

Query="SELECT * from MyTable WHERE MyNAME like ? " 
Cursor1=SQL1.ExecQuery2(Query,Array As String("%" & txtTest.Text & "%"))

@Melamoud: Have you or anyone thought about adding a seekbar to the class, so one can slide it and change the table text font size on the fly as if it were a zoom in and zoom out.

Thanks. This works.
But what if I have to escape _ (underscore) that's another special character ?

I have two subs
Normalize2sql and normalizeFromSql
Using them on any string to encode/decode special characters.

Yes its on my todo list but right my next improvement (when I will have tome for it) is add search/filter to table

Table in a panel

Sorry for my English.

I tried your class and is fabulous.
Now I want to create a new table in a panel of an app.
I tried:
Table1.Initialize (SD.panels (1), "Table1", 4)
but does not work. The table is displayed outside panels of the app.
Is there a solution to this problem?

Thanks for the help

klaus · Mar 12, 2013

How did you define SD.panels (1) ?
You need to show more code so we can see what you have done and how.

Best regards.

see attached

klaus · Mar 12, 2013

Sorry, but in the code snippet you posted you don't show how you defined the SD.Panels array ?
It would be easier to help you if you posted your project as a zip file (IDE menu Files / Expost As Zip)

Best regards.

Table Class

Sorry but i use :

'Class Name: SlidingPanels
'Author: Dominex
'Version: 1.20
'B4A Version Used: 2.50
'Last Modified: 10/02/2013
'-------------------------

This class allows you to have the mobile panels.
Each panel may refer to a given page of the program:
customer data
data items
image Data

I must open the table in one of these panels.

I understand that it can be difficult to interpret my needs but now I have this problem.

Thank you
Giuseppe

klaus · Mar 12, 2013

The problem is that you define in Initialize the Panel instead of the module !
You'll need:

B4X:

Tblmmccodo.Initialize(Me, "Tblmmccodo", 12)
Tblmmccodo.AddToActivity(SD.Panels(1), 8, 132, 1260, 450)

But then you'll encounter another probelm if you set the table full screen you will be able to scroll the table but no more the panels because the touch event is used by the Scrollview and not transmitted to the panel below.

Attached you find Dominexs' modified demo program that shows it.
When you try to scroll the panel inside the scrollview no reaction but outsides it works.
I have no solution for this problem.

Best regards.

Dominex · Mar 13, 2013

Perhaps you can solve the problem by using only the touch of Activity and pass commands to SlidingPanels and Table based on the vertical and horizontal movement of the touch. I think it feasible, but putting it into practice will require a little 'work.

Thanks for the table class...it is coming in handy...

Trying to figure this out:
in this example both tables are exactly in the positions i would expect them (tbl1 starting at the far left and tbl2 starting in the middle of the screen)...but there isn't a header on the 2nd table? am i doing something wrong or is it not possible to have a header start at a position besides 0?

B4X:

        tbl1.Initialize(Me,"tbl1",4)
   tbl1.AddToActivity(pnl,0,7%y,45%x,pnl.Height-10%y)
   tbl1.SetHeader(Array As String("Hdr1","Hdr2,"Hdr3","Hdr4"))
   tbl2.Initialize(Me,"tbl2",4)
   tbl2.AddToActivity(pnl,50%x,7%y,45%x,pnl.Height-10%y)
   tbl2.SetHeader(Array As String("Hdr1","Hdr2,"Hdr3","Hdr4"))

melamoud · Mar 14, 2013

if you change the header of the second tables, you will see it override the first one

the problem is in this line Header.Left = -PosX in SV_ScrollChanged

it should be Header.Left = Header.Left -PosX
but thats not going to work either since the header is not on a scroll panel but on the activity
but the code "scroll it to the left side" when the table start at x=0 then you get the scroll like effect since the header move to the left (out side of the screen"

a fix need to be written, probbaly put the header on a seperate scroll panel (seperated from the rows so it wont scroll vertically) and sync the two scroll panels,

Klaus what do you say is that make sense ? do you have a better idea ?

klaus · Mar 15, 2013

Instead of adding the Table onto the Activity you should define a Panel with the position and dimensions you need and then add the Table onto this Panel the header will work as you expect.

Instead of:

B4X:

Table1.Initialize(Me, "Table1", 4)
Table1.AddToActivity(Activity, 0, 0dip, 100%x, 50%y)

use something like this:

B4X:

Panel1.Initialize("")
Activity.AddView(Panel1, 20dip, 10dip, 100%x - 50dip, 50%y)
Table1.Initialize(Me, "Table1", 4)
Table1.AddToActivity(Panel1, 0, 0, Panel1.Width, Panel1.Height)

Best regards.

right now i have 1 panel and am trying to put 4 tables? the tables show up fine...it's just the headers that aren't working on the tables on the right (at 50%x)

So i'm guessing you are saying add 1 panel for each table? so essentially 4 panels with 1 table per panel?

Is there not a way to tweak the table class to fix this?

thanks for your help...

Yes.

Yes, feel free to do it.
In the class :
- add a panel
- add this onto the activity
- add all internal views to the panel instead of the activity.

What version of the Table class are you using ?

Best regards.

OK...i'll try 1 panel for each table...only thing with that is i have a button centered at the bottom of all 4 tables (ie in the bottom center of the 1 panel)...if i have 4 panels essentially dividing the screen into 4 equal sections then i can't easily place the button between panels?

i'm fairly new to programming so i'm not sure i'd be able to add it to there myself...

i have version 1.13 of the table class

klaus · Mar 15, 2013

Attached you find a modified version of the Table Class Version 1.14.
The table is on a panel defined in the table class.
The values entered in AddToActivity define the dimensions of the panel.

Best regards.

jeffnooch · Mar 15, 2013

Thanks Klaus...i'll try it out when i get home...i'll let you know how i make out...thanks

one quick question...can i leave my code as it is where it is creating one panel the size of the activity and add my tables as normal and i assume the tweaked code you did will create a panel for each table on my full size panel...(hope this makes sense)...
thanks again

klaus · Mar 15, 2013

Yes, the new code adds the table (it's container panel) onto the object you define in AddToActivity.
Look at the attached example program, in AddToActivity replace Activity by your full screen Panel.

Best regards
