Bug? KeyValueStore.b4xlib manifest missing XUI Views dependency

KeyValueStore doesn't depend on XUI Views.

Maybe you are referring to B4XTable?

Oh yes it does! Lines 118 to 141 reference B4XBitmap and fail compilation without XUI Views selected in the Libraries tab.

#if not(B4J) OR UI
Public Sub PutBitmap(Key As String, Value As B4XBitmap)
    Dim out As OutputStream
    out.InitializeToBytesArray(0)
    Value.WriteToStream(out, 100, "PNG")
    Put(Key, out.ToBytesArray)
    out.Close
End Sub

Public Sub GetBitmap(Key As String) As B4XBitmap
    Dim b() As Byte = Get(Key)
    If b = Null Then Return Null
    Dim in As InputStream
    in.InitializeFromBytesArray(b, 0, b.Length)
#if B4J
    Dim bmp As Image
#else
    Dim bmp As Bitmap
#End If
    bmp.Initialize2(in)
    in.Close
    Return bmp
End Sub
#End If

It depends on XUI, not XUI Views.
I will add it (in B4A and B4i as it is optional in B4J).

 

[agraham]

I guess then XUI Views references XUI as I got my app going by selecting XUI Views. I don't bother with the XUI stuff and just use native so I don't know how it works or what the inter-dependencies are

XUI (~B4XView) is not less native than any other view. It is simply a more powerful (in most cases), consistent and cross platform API.

 

[agraham]

You are of course correct about it being the right choice for a cross-platform API but as I only do Android in B4X (I'm still using my extended version of Basic4ppc on desktop and will be forever grateful to you for that ?) it is another level to learn on top of a level that I am familiar with from past times, and being a grumpy old man of increasingly compromised intellectual abilities I tend to stick what I already know ?

This is a valid reason.
