Android Question Get Touch Event of a Label

[Mike1970]

Hi everyone, i was wondering, there is a way to retrive the _Touch event from a label?

Thanks in advance

 

[Erel]

Put it inside a transparent panel.

Put it inside a transparent panel.

Actually i need it just for this reason ahahha.
I have a panel, with a label inside, i need only the the panel touch event. But if i tap on the label (lblNomeZona) the panel_touchevent (pnlWhiteShadow) does not fire

 

[Erel]

Are you handling the label's click event? If not then it shouldn't happen.

Nope. Infact I know that even creating an empty sub will get the priority.. but actually I did not create any sub for the label

I created a transparent panel with a label inside it as Erel instructed you and I was able to get the Panel touch event to fire:

Private Panel1 As B4XView  'in globals
    Private Label1 As Label
    Private xui As XUI

Activity.LoadLayout("Layout1")  'in activity_create
    Panel1.SetColorAndBorder(xui.color_transparent,4dip, xui.Color_Magenta,5dip)

Private Sub Panel1_Touch (Action As Int, X As Float, Y As Float)
    Label1.Text="Mike1970"
End Sub

    Label1.Text="Mike1970"
End Sub

I will make a sample.

May I ask here what is the B4X way to do it?
(well, I did it )

 

[Erel]

Change Label with B4XView.

 

[LucaMs]

Change Label with B4XView.

Not so hard to do it .

Thank you, Erel.

Ok this is the example, i forgot that the label was actually an Autotextsizelabel

 

[Erel]

This is not my AutoTextSizeLabel implementation.
It handles the Click event internally.

Set the event name to "":

mautopnl = xui.CreatePanel("")

 

[Mahares]

You are so smart. How can we tell if it is yours or not. I wish others name them differently. I got so confused.
So what Erel is telling is change this line in the class module :

mautopnl = xui.CreatePanel("mautopnl")

to:

mautopnl = xui.CreatePanel("")

Thanks erel! actually i don't remember where i download that class, then i slighlty modified it to add maxTextSize
However now it works as intended

 

[Mahares]

i don't remember where i download that class

I redid your project using the real AutoTextSizeLabel class written by Erel and it works effortlessly and flawlessly. It is so much better.

This is the one from Erel. Highly recommend it. I have used before. I wish other developers give their libraries distinctive names different than what Erel uses. It is not fair to him. I spent over an hour this morning trying to solve your puzzle so I can help, thinking it was Erel's class module.:

[custom view] AutoTextSizeLabel

When you set the text of this custom label the text size is automatically modified to the largest possible size so that all the text is visible. To use this view in your project, you should take the AutoTextSizeLabel class from the attached example and add it to your project. You should then...

I don't remember why i choosed, the other one, probably the original one gave me problem and i switched to the other.
Also, the Erel's one is cross-platform? or only b4a?

 

[Erel]

Only B4A. The one you used can also work. It just does something with the click event internally so events are not passed through.

Thanks Erel and Mahares for your tips!
