B4A Library [Lib] BetterDialogs

Informatix · Jul 4, 2013

I tried to improve the most useful dialogs of the Dialogs library. In my version, HTML tags are interpreted (even in the text of buttons), the InputBox uses a Masked EditText and has more options, you can check if the input is valid before closing the dialog, and the CustomDialog is fully customizable. I also solved an issue with the virtual keyboard.

MsgBox (under Gingerbread and JellyBean):

InputBox (under Gingerbread and JellyBean):

CustomDialog (under Gingerbread and JellyBean):

Another CustomDialog (under Gingerbread and JellyBean):

v1.1:
- I added a CloseDialog function;
- I added a margin parameter to the custom dialog.

v1.2:
- I fixed a bug in InputBox when there's a default value;
- I added the BackKeyPressed event for custom dialogs.

v1.3:
- I added a PasswordMode option to the InputBox;
- I added a CancelOnTouchOutside option.

v1.4:
- I added a CursorPosition option to the InputBox.

v2.0:
- I moved the CustomDialog parameters to the BD_CustomDlgParams class.
- I added two new parameters: Duration and DialogGravity.
- I removed the Margin parameter and added the MarginHeight parameter (to be used when Gravity is set to TOP).
- The BodyWidth and BodyHeight parameters defines now accurately the size of the dialog body.

v2.1:
- I added a "closing" event raised just before a custom dialog is dismissed. You can cancel the closure by returning False.

v2.11:
- I added the "DlgResponse" parameter to the Closing event.

This library does not work with Android versions < 2.
It requires another library: Masked EditText

I'm having a problem with CustomDialog, even though OpenKeyboard = true, the keyboard refuses to popup when I click the textbox.

Could you post your code ?

I stripped my program down to just the API needed

1) You perform an action in Activity_Create. It's not the place for that. I remove the Ask there and use only the one in Activity_Touch.
2) Your EditText is added to Title, but Title is meant to display a label, not to accept inputs. If I place the EditText in Body, then the IME pops up as soon as the MsgBox is on screen.

1) was just for testing. I don't use it there
2) that seems to be it, I'll try. Thank you.

NeoTechni · Nov 12, 2015

Worked, thank you. But the stuff I drew on the canvas didnt follow anymore, had to draw it on a panel first. And theres a huge blank title. Can I leave it umdeclared? Id like it to be 1 or 0 pixels

Titles are not mandatory. You can see at the end of the demo a dialog with no title.

Worked again, thank you.

Replace EditText by MaskedEditText. The event is delayed with the standard EditText.

ok the event is working with maskededit text but...

i have this event... it's the nicely datepicker from ManManfred
https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/datepicker-dialog-v1-0-0.53215/#content

B4X:

Sub dt_ondateset(year As Int, month As Int, day As Int)
    Log($"dt_ondateset(${year}, ${month}, ${day})"$)
    txtDateDebut.Text = day & "/" & month & "/" & year
End Sub

and when i choose the date... it doesn't update the txtdateDebut.... (ben when i close the dialog the log appear with the same delay)

how can i solve this ?

regards

You cannot. DonManfred has to change his code to make it work.

Hi

Is it possible to have an InputBox dialog that prompts for a password/passcode of up to 10 digits but which doesn't show 10 dots in the input field?

I want the input field to be completely blank but still obscure the characters when they are typed and also restrict the number of characters entered to 10.

Regards

Joe

If you don't want to display anything, then don't use an InputBox (the EditText is useless) and create a custom dialog with a numeric keyboard (10 buttons and you're done).

JdV · Jan 29, 2016

Thanks for the tip and the speedy reply!
