Android Question How to add Padding to B4XFloatTextField view

[mfstuart]

I submitted a Bug List report on this Padding issue for a B4XFloatTextField, but Erel stated that I should submit a post to ask how it should be applied as a work-around.
Bug List post that describes the wrong behavior: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...red-for-b4xfloattextfield.141980/#post-899878

What is the work-around to have Padding work for a B4XFloatTextField view?

What is the work-around to have Padding work for a B4XFloatTextField view?

B4XFloatTextField padding & RTL

I'm using B4XFloatTextField and having few concerns 1. Padding on right side hides X and Tick symbols 2. When Arabic/Urdu/Persian text is entered in text field it moves the text on Right Side (which it should) but again the text is below X and Tick symbol (which should have ideally moved to...

Is it so that padding doesn't work correct in B4XFloatTextField? I don't see that caracters anymore when padding on the left.

The first approach is a long-winded effort to something that should work as a Property, but doesn't work for this view as explained in the link in the first post.
The second link I've already tried and doesn't work either. I tried this approach on the ThreePagesExample, on the txtUserName field from Erel.

Padding needs to work on the Hint Text and the Text itself. For a Password Field checked, it does not work either.

Then you should switch the view to:

[B4X] [XUI] AS TextFieldAdvanced - Title, Information, Counter, Password, Button, Prefix, Suffix, Icons, Multiline

With this view you can quickly and easily add good looking text fields, with title and or bottom text. Additionally you can make the TextField a button, so that you can open menus, but still keep the design of the text fields. The view speeds up development because you don't have to worry about...

This view have a LeftGap property.

Alexander, that looks exciting. I wonder why these features aren't in the Core library? They should be. - me scratch head.
Don't get me wrong, I love using B4X products, but it is missing opportunities to be a "main-stream" development product because it is missing a lot of features, and short on current features.
Guess I need to add some "Wish" posts.

Because AS = Alexander Stolte and is not called Anywhere Software ?

Don't get me wrong, I love using B4X products, but it is missing opportunities to be a "main-stream" development product because it is missing a lot of features, and short on current features.

That's why there are people like me who take this work off Erel's hands, so he can focus on other things that take B4X even further

My portfolio already includes over 50 B4XViews to make developing with B4X even faster and easier.

WOW! Just took a look at your portfolio.
Are these built in java alone as libraries (.jar files), or are they built as a .b4xlib?

These are all B4X (B4A,B4I,B4J) libraries (.b4xlib). Once in the Additonal Libraries folder you can use them in all 3 IDEs.

I'm trying to build a tablet app for myself. I'll keep your products in mind. But for now, I'm just trying to learn the B4XPages platform, from developing on the original UI platform for so long.

Estimate,

I have seen your comments in the other post, and everything you mention there can be solved with a few lines of code.
Also this view cannot cover all user needs, but you can adapt it to your needs with simple lines of code.

Example:
