It's time to give something back to the community.
My primary programming destination is Windows (Delphi and .NET). For my daily work, i created a function library long time ago which i use in almost all of my programs.
Now i convert parts of this library to Java for using it in B4A.
Here is my MFLib V1.07 for B4A and B4J.
Starting with V1.03 the library is separated in two versions: one for B4A (MFLib.jar) and one for B4J (jMFLib.jar). MFLib.jar contains additional functions for Android only.
In V1.04 an additionally library file was added (MFParser.jar/jMFParser.jar) with math parser functions.
In V1.06 the image functions are separated in its own library (MFImage.jar).
The new MaskedBitmap functions can be used to save app space. Two jpg files (bmp and mask) wants far less space than a png with alpha channel.
Function list of current version (more functions will be added in future).
For detailed description check the included example or inspect the xml with B4A Object Browser.
