lonleystar · Apr 25, 2014

Hi the progress is going on but I've some problem to fit images and text but I'll resolve it soon be patience.

ronovar · Apr 25, 2014

No hurry, i have just ask...i know that there is a loot of javascript cooding...so i will wait.

Do You have any good tutorial how can i write library for B4A using java code? I diassembled some apk and would like to copy code and make library for one component from this apk.I need tutorial to learn how to write library.

Thanks.

lonleystar · Apr 26, 2014

Hi, take a look to this link below.

Tutorial about development of libraries.

Mrjoey · Apr 30, 2014

hello lonelystar , i noticed that when u scroll , the image is loaded , do u mind to share some codes about doing that? i have lots of images i want to add to list , so instead of adding them directly using a loop wish becomes slow , it would fill the list and when the list is finished it will fill then the images hope u did understand my point , any suggestions are appreciated , tnx man keep forward

lonleystar · Apr 30, 2014

Hi MrJoey, I think I understand, but can U make an example in B4Android?.

B4X:

Sub ScrollView1_ScrollChanged(Position As Int)
'If Ind < (mapa.Size/9 )-1 Then
    If Position + ScrollView1.Height >= ScrollView1.Panel.Height Then
    If DateTime.Now > lastAddItemsTime + 1 Then
      lastAddItemsTime = DateTime.Now
    CallSub(Me,"ReadAudios")
    End If
  End If
'End If 
End Sub

this code loads additional items when the scrollview reaches a specific number of items so lets say there is 20 panels added to this scrollview and instead of making a loop to fill that 20 panels once , it add let say 10 and then when the user scrolls down it will add the other 10 , that way is very efficient and public , i think u are using this method in kind of ways , i would like u to share an idea of urs to display images instead , tnx

lonleystar · Apr 30, 2014

Hi Mrjoey, It's based on true Gallery and not on ScrollView if U mean this.

U can not do that because it fill up an Array, but I'll tray it.

ronovar · May 7, 2014

Hi, i im playing with this excellent library and would like to ask if is possible to get images direct from httputils2 using Job.GetBitmap.

I would like to fill coverflow with images from my url link of my server, not to save it to device.

So i have sucessfully used this:

B4X:

CoverFlow1.SetBackgroundImage(Job.GetBitmap)

but this sets last image retrieved from server, witch is what i expected.

So i need the code if is possible to add image to CoverFlow instead of saving it to device.

For example:

CoverFlow1.AddImageFromUrl(Job.GetBitmap)

lonleystar · May 7, 2014

HI ronovar, yes I'm working on it.

It'll be soon updated like B4AGallery + (AddImageFromUrl , AddImageFromUrlAt , PopulatePhotoFlowFromUrl)

ronovar · May 7, 2014

Ok...thanks... It will be great to have this feautures in library.

Mrjoey · May 21, 2014

hey , 1 suggestion for next update , im using B4Agallery , and there is a function called setarraylist , can u include it in coverflow? thank u

lonleystar · May 21, 2014

Hi Mrjoey, this week B4ACoverFlow and B4AGridView both will be updated as the B4AGallery I haven't forgotten.

Just now I finished fixing ICOSWorldForecastFree.

Mrjoey · May 21, 2014

aha appreciate ur hardwork , take ur time man , so this update will coverflow includes setarraylist or the next update u mean?

lonleystar · May 21, 2014

Hi, this update.

Mrjoey · May 21, 2014

wow , thank u so much man

ronovar · May 25, 2014

Hi, sorry to bother you...can you post progress on VerticaFlow.

aignatd · May 25, 2014
