B4A Library Dialogs library

Status
Not open for further replies.
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.

Is there a way to get the exact dimensions of the dialog panel for any device?
Or maybe get the dialog´s top, left, bottom and right coordinates?
Or the corrdinates of the Cancel and Ok buttons?
I need to position my views in a custom dialog, but it looks different in each device.

Is anyone else facing this issue? I want to use the number dialog with 4 digits and 1 decimal place. It worked fine on my SGS3 (android v4.4.4), but now on my SGS6 edge (android 6.0.1), in portrait mode, you can only see the first 4 digits - the decimal place is off the side of the screen. See attached screenshots.

Is there a way around this ?

I'm using v2.92 of the library.

Thanks
Graeme

I am using v2.92 and do not get what you display in your demo. I get the 3-control set for month-day-year, with the year control cut off after the "2" in "2016" and then the calendar to the right. But in your demo, just the calendar displays no matter what my setting is for Dd.ShowCalendar. Can you tell me what is going on? Thank you.

dd.ShowCalendar = False 'displays year control rather than calendar itself (MAKES NO DIFFERENCE IF SET TO TRUE OR FALSE)
dd.Year = DateTime.GetYear(DateTime.Now)
dd.Month = DateTime.GetMonth(DateTime.Now)
dd.DayOfMonth = DateTime.GetDayOfMonth(DateTime.Now)

ret = dd.Show("Set the date", "What date do you want?", "OK", "", "", Bmp1)

Hi Graeme!
I have got exactly the same problem! Originally when I wrote my app 2 years ago it worked flawless.
Didn´t find a solution up to now.

Is there a problem with the current file attached to the first post?

I've downloaded it and everything works (so files are in Additional Libraries folder etc) except there is no ListView visible on the CustomDialog2 example, it just shows btn1. Btn1 works btw. Just no listview. This occurs with no changes to the code.

As far as I know I'm not having issues anywhere else in the examples or in B4A itself.

Which customdialog2 demo??? There is only one example in post #1 (DialogsDemo.b4a) and this does not show a listview

Edit: Ohh, i see in btnCustom2_Click

Change
B4X: 
    pnl.AddView(lv, 300dip, 120dip, 120dip, 250dip)
to
B4X: 
    pnl.AddView(lv, 20dip, 120dip, 120dip, 250dip)

The LV is there. just 300dip from left....

You should start a new thread in the questionsforum and upload a example project which shows this issue (file-Export as zip)

Hi everyone.

I'using V2.92 of this library, but I can only get 4 digits. I would like to have something like ###.##, but I cant find a way of displaying more than 4 digits even using nd.digits=8.

Even the demo, which in theory should show 10 digits only showes 4 !!!

Android 6 here.

I've seen posts about this, but found no solution so far. Help would be welcome.

Hi, I've updated to 2.94. What happened to the ShowCalendar property in the DateDialog, which was available before?
