B4A Library Dialogs library

agraham · Dec 7, 2010

This library contains several modal, that is blocking, dialogs by which the user can enter data. Presently they are an InputDialog for numbers and text, a TimeDialog for times and and a DateDialog for dates.

Note that modal dialogs can close unexpectedly and not return to your code if the Activity needs to close, most likely because the user rotated the device. There is a brief discussion of this in the overall library help in the xml. This can also occur with the Basic4android modal dialogs InputList, InputMultiList, Msgbox and Msgbox2 whose modal mechanism is used by the dialogs in this library.

I was unable to find reference red (-65536) and gray (-3355444) return value from colorpicker to android colors chart. What is the rgb/hex value for the red and gray value from colorpicker? Thanks in advance.

Hello agraham,

is it possible to change the Number dialog so that the decimal point in a larger display (see my photo below).
If it is not possible then I have to create it myself with a custom dialog.

Hi Agraham,

Really useful library!
I'm using it in my project, but I have one "big" problem. My application UI is white or light grey and when I open TimeDialog or DateDialog they are dark. Is it possible that I change background of TimeDialog and DateDialog?

Regards,
Gorazd

agraham · Nov 19, 2013

Those colours are set by Android, not within the Dialogs library. I don't know if you can change them.

Problem with FileDialog.

In my own program as well as in the DialogsDemo setting the Filepath to File.DirRootExternal doesn't work as I expect.

Setting it to DirRootExternal gives the directories and files of the phone, not of the SD card.

When DirInternal is set I think that the correct directories and files are shown.

The command File.ExternalReadable returns true.

Is this a problem of my phone or a bug or am I doing something wrong?

That's how Android works. For historical reasons, from when the phones only storage was on an SD card, DirRootExternal is the phones internal storage. Search the forum for "SD card", there's quite a few posts about it.

Oops, yesterday, I had not seen the files in the directory to unzip dialogs2.92. Grieve for the inconvenience. Thank you!

Hi, great library but I'm not sure why the keyboard doesn't pop up on all devices. i.e. my tablets pop up but my note 2 doesn't.

CustomDialog2 does not work with VoiceRecognition.

How do I import the dialogs.jar file in b4a

davepamn · Jan 27, 2014

B4A suggestion: create a import dialog for copying the dialog.jar and dialog.xml file into the b4a

Hallo agraham,

I don't know if this is the right place to write my wish, but I would find very practical to have a extended version of Number Dialog.

Input and output should be float.

Another parameters would be nice as well

Minimum - Minimum what control allows you to set as number
Maximum - Maximum what control allows you to set as number
Step - Minimum step what control will allow you to change, so the incerement decrement arrow by corresponding digit should go by value in Step no by 1 as is now

e.g.

Minimum = 6
Maximum = 24
Step = 0.5

This should allow you to input anything between 6 and 24 by step 0,5 , so last digit should increment by 5, so 0 and 5 are only allowed values
e.g. 6,5 12 12,5 23,5 are correct values.

Thank you for your time

Thank for this Library Agraham
Is there a way in which the dialog can be used as controls.
Viz. In a single panel I want to input date and time and some numbers without opening the dialog box.

Hi

Is there a way to make the edittext accept a specific pattern (e.g. *.bmp), to make sure the name is correct for saving a file.

Kind regards

Hello,
I am showing a dialog on the screen which is created by Dialogs (v2.92) lib.
There are two EditText's and two buttons (OK and Cancel) in the dialog.
Everything works fine and I do not have any problem.

But even though the focus is on the first EditText, the sw keyboard is hidden.
to make it visible I need to touch, one of the EditText's.

Is there any way to make sw keyboard visible whenever dialog comes visible?

thanks in advance

My BetterDialogs library fixes this issue.

seems that the library is buggy. The datedialog needs an update... i get stupid things back...
In android 4.3 on the s4 the calendar is over the main thing and in android 2.xx there are many bugs...
