Hi,
How do I create a visible comment for my own library in the library manager ?

I'd like to create my own comment for the library I'm creating,
and so that I can see that comment in the library manager in B4A and B4J.

I finally figured out what was causing it.

I can add comments to the B4xlib manifest file. Such as:
Version=2.00
B4J.DependsOn=jXUI, jDateUtils
B4A.DependsOn=XUI, DateUtils
B4i.DependsOn=iXUI, iDateUtils

hi,
what am i doing wrong? I filled the manifest.txt file,
by typing a comment line:
B4J Comment=check internet connection

Maybe the line should look like this:
IDE Comment=check internet connection

Hi, @klaus
I checked this example and unfortunately it doesn't work. I noticed that there is no library in the manager that has a (visible) comment attached, as well as a version or platform - apart from the installation ones, of course.

The library I am creating contains a manifest.txt file with a changed line (IDE Comment=) but nothing has changed.

Maybe i misunderstood your request.
The IDE Comment=my comment, in the manifest.txt file which is included in the b4xlib is displayed in the Libraries Manager Tab.
Be aware to have no empty character between IDE Comment and the '=' sign, which seems not being the case in your project.
If it is not the case, there is something wrong in your code or file content.
But, without knowing what exactly you have done and how, it is impossible to give any concrete advice.

Solution:
The manifest file must ALWAYS be in the compressed .B4XLIB library in the B4J directory where the source file modules reside.
And the message (with the rest of the information) is only visible when
when you select a library from the list by selecting it in the checkbox.

- now everything is clear.
