B4A Library [Lib] BetterDialogs

Forgive me if this is evident in a demo or something, but is it possible to combine the features of a custom dialog (specifically a custom title bar and custom buttons) with your built-in dialogs? I like the custom dialog in that I can use custom buttons but then they do not size or internally scroll automatically. I am referring to just a simple text-only dialog, without any extra controls.

Hi @Informatix

I tried it but seems doesn't work.
Give me an exception even I only declared the BD variable.
I need some other updated library than MaskedEditText (1.30)?

Sorry but I don't know why you get this error. I tested my library with at least 6 different devices and OS (from Gingerbread to Lollypop). Did you try the demo or your own app?

Even in my code and in your example, too.
In my libs I see:
BetterDialogs (2.00)
Core (3.80)
Reflection (2.40)

Even in rapid and legacy mode

I've tried on another PC of my colleague with another device (SAMSUNG 7 with KitKat), mine is attached to SAMSUNG NOTE 3 with kitkat, the error is the same.

RAPID:
** Activity (main) Create, isFirst = true **


** Activity (main) Resume **

I just tried on a Samsung S4 under Jellybean (in case it is related to Samsung devices) and got no issue, whatever mode I used.
I don't have Samsung devices running under KitKat.

In the second PC I've tried, I redownload your library, peraphs Erel could solve the mistery.

...
How about give us a dialog timer? Having B4A Timer not working, should a java timer work with Dialog?
(as usual) Thank you.

The new version includes a parameter (Duration) to dismiss the dialog after the given time is elapsed.

In some circumstances (after a touch on my customedit) it appears a keyboard. I would like to hide that keyboard (my keyboard is the dialog). Something like that:

Sub customedit2_FocusChanged (HasFocus As Boolean)
If HasFocus Then
'CallSubDelayed(Me,"timerkeyboard_tick")
TimerKeyboard.interval=1
TimerKeyboard.Enabled = True
End If
End Sub

Sub customedit2_Click
TimerKeyboard_tick
'CallSubDelayed(Me,"timerkeyboard_tick")
'TimerKeyboard.Interval=1
'TimerKeyboard.Enabled = True
End Sub

Sub TimerKeyboard_tick
TimerKeyboard.Enabled = False
Dim p As Phone
p.HideKeyboard(ActivityLib)
End Sub

It is quite normal that a keyboard opens when you enter an EditText. If you want that your text cannot be edited with the keyboard (and thus avoid opening it), use my MaskedEditText lib and set ReadOnly to true. You will only be able to set a new text programmatically.

Indeed.
The path with the latest version is: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_71\bin\javac.exe

Android is compatible with Java 7 since October 2013, so I thought everybody was already compiling with Java 7 and that I was one of the last to keep Java 6 until this week. From now on, I will always compile with Java 7. Java 6 is no longer on my HD.

I have the following path:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.7.0_03\bin\javac.exe

But... I should change / update it?
