Android Question #Extends and B4A 10.70

[MarcoRome]

Hi @Erel, All
i have a project that has

#Extends: android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity

and in the Manifest i i have.

SetApplicationAttribute(android:theme, "@style/MyAppTheme")

CreateResource(values, theme.xml,
<resources>
    <style name="MyAppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
        <item name="colorPrimary">#222222</item>
        <item name="colorPrimaryDark">#222222</item>
        <item name="colorAccent">#009246</item>
        <item name="windowNoTitle">true</item>
        <item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
    </style>
</resources>
)

Up to version 10.60 it compiled and ran correctly.
With 10.70 it is compiled but the set theme ( Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar ) is not executed

Why ?
Thank you
Marco

I tried this

AppCompat with ToolBar - minimal example

In most cases AppCompat is no longer needed and will only make things more complicated. B4XPages example with dynamic menu: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/b4x-menu-badges.133301/ The project attached uses the powerful AppCompat library to replace the built-in ActionBar with a...

I deleted all previous AppCompat libraries and reinstalled 4.
The example Work.
However, i cannot understand, despite having the following code,

AddManifestText(
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="9" android:targetSdkVersion="29"/>
<supports-screens android:largeScreens="true"
    android:normalScreens="true"
    android:smallScreens="true"
    android:anyDensity="true"/>)
SetApplicationAttribute(android:icon, "@drawable/icon")
SetApplicationAttribute(android:label, "$LABEL$")
'End of default text.

'Se utilizzi http
CreateResourceFromFile(Macro, Core.NetworkClearText)
AddApplicationText(
<uses-library
      android:name="org.apache.http.legacy"
      android:required="false" />
)

'Set activity in landscape
SetActivityAttribute(act_stampante_virtuale, android:screenOrientation, "landscape")
SetActivityAttribute(act_statistiche_tablet, android:screenOrientation, "landscape")


SetApplicationAttribute(android:theme, "@style/MyAppTheme")

CreateResource(values, theme.xml,
<resources>
    <style name="MyAppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
        <item name="colorPrimary">#222222</item>
        <item name="colorPrimaryDark">#222222</item>
        <item name="colorAccent">#009246</item>
        <item name="windowNoTitle">true</item>
        <item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
    </style>
</resources>
)


' This is modify for SumUp-API
' First you have to ad these intent-filter
AddActivityText(paymentresult,  <intent-filter>
           <action android:name=".paymentresult"></action>
           <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"></category>
           <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE"></category>
      </intent-filter>)
' After that you have to replace the short-name .paymentresult with the package-namen and short-name.
AddReplacement (.paymentresult, com.xxxx.yyyy.gestione.paymentresult)
' You can use another name for the result-activity, but you have to change it in your starting
' Sub and here in the manifest-editor
SetActivityAttribute(act_lista_ordini, android:windowSoftInputMode, adjustResize|stateHidden)
SetActivityAttribute(act_lista_ordini_nostampa, android:windowSoftInputMode, adjustResize|stateHidden)

why for example the msgboxes i receive them in Dark mode if i compile with 10.70 ??

so the activity, etc.

If i compile the same code with version 10.60 the result is the following:

correct.

 

[Erel]

Please reproduce it in a small project, based on my example, and upload it.

 

[MarcoRome]

it depended on this line of code belonging to an old version of AppCompat.

'#AdditionalRes: ..\resource

After commenting the same everything is ok

Does it work for you?

I also have an issue with #extends in 10.7. The project compiles and installs fine but the activity is closed as soon as it appears, even before the connecting to debugger message appears. No error is shown in the logger. Does it work for you with 10.7? Is 10.6 available to download?

I don't think it's related, I have tried on separate devices, one where the system webview was disabled and one where I uninstalled updates. If I remove the #extends line, at least an error is shown in the logger.

Going to an old version is not the correct solution.
You should start a new thread and provide more information, including the referenced libraries. Note that there must be an error message in the logs. You might need to switch to USB debug mode to see it.
