B4A Library Side swipe sliding menu library

microbox · Mar 29, 2015

Hello Peter, thanks for this library. Just want to ask if it's possible to highlight the items when mouse hovers? I'm using odroid device with mouse.
Edited: Also is it possible to show sliding menu after BuildMenu is called?

Best regards,
microbox

This is a great library ..
any option to add graphics or image in action bar ? as we do have option ActBarText for adding text /title

Peter Simpson · May 2, 2015

No plans for this sorry...

atulindore · May 2, 2015

Ok. Thx.

Hi Peter
What FadeAlphaShade does in this lib .. Actually I want ActBarText color as original and white .. How can I do this ..

Peter Simpson · May 12, 2015

FadeAlphaShade is for the about of fade the background color had, change it to 0 then to 255 to see that happens.

When you InitializeActionBar set the LineColor to what you want.

Hello Peter

I like your Sliding Menu library. Did you ever find the time to add the method to show sliding menu (MenuShow)? Now it's only MenuHide.

Regards

Hello @William Hunter,
Okay I've just uploaded the library to V1.34, I've not tested it but I'm presuming that MenuShow will now work.

Hello Peter - Talk about a quick response! Thank you for that. I tried using the new library in your test app. The only changes made were to replace the earlier library with the newest, and to change all references of SlidingMenu to SlidingMenuStd. When I ran the app I got an error. I tried again by including the Reflection library, but this did not resolve the error. The log is shown below:

Hello @William Hunter, please download the test file in the original post that is called TestSlidingMenu.zip, it has been updated. Please go to the \Objects\res\drawable folder and in that folder and copy the file named pnl_v_shadow.9.png into your \Objects\res\drawable folder, make sure that the file is read only.

Hello Peter - I used your new TestSlidingMenu app and all is well. I tested both methods MenuShow and MenuHide, and both work very well. I'll try the new library in an app of my own tomorrow, and no doubt it will work just as you have intended. Thank you for sharing your work. It's very much appreciated.

Best regards

William Hunter · May 22, 2015

@ Peter Simpson – I've been using your library and it works very well. I have observed two behaviors that I would like the ability to change. They are as follows:

1. When using a shortened item length menu, there remains a vertical line as would outline a full length menu.
2. When the menu is in view, the device screen dims.

Is there anyway for me to change these behaviors?

Best regards

Hello everybody,
Here we have my second library, I created this library for a project that I'm working on, I've previously used this menu(in a class) on other clients bespoke apps. I've learnt a lot from other forum members, so hopefully you will like my little sliding menu.

Just swipe your finger from off the screen and the menu slides in and out, the top left button also slides the menu in and out when tapped.

A big thank you to @Informatix and @margret for creating libraries that makes my life easier

SlidingMenuStd

BarsOff
TURN OFF BARS

Initialize (Activity As Activity, Top As Int, SetMenuWidth As Int, SetMenuColor As Int, FontSize As Int, FontColor As Int)
Current activity, Menu top position, Menu Width, Menu color, Text size, Text color

InitializeActionBar (Activity As Activity, ActionBarColor As Int, LineColor As Int, Radius As Int, MenuButton As Boolean)
Current activity, Action bar color, Thin line color, Action bar corner radius

InitializeSwipe (Activity As Activity, Module As Object, SetSlideDuration As Int, SetFadeAlpha As Int, SetMenuLength As Boolean)
Current activity, Current module name, Menu slide duration in milliseconds, FadeAlpha(0-255), Menu length(Full or just items)

The extra libraries that I used were:

AnimationPlus

ICS Contols

I've built some simple adjustable functionality into this library v1.2+, I hope it's enough for you all.

Menu width

Menu colour

Menu text size

Menu full length or item length

Menu text colour

Action bar colour

Action bar under line colour

Action bar corner radius

Slide duration

Fade alpha shade

Action bar text

Slide menu button visible(True or false)

Anyway, that's enough of me babbling on, just download the library and let me know what you think about it. The screen shots below were taken on a Galaxy Nexus and a Nexus 7.

This has been tested on:

Acer Iconia A500 running Android 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich

Samsung Galaxy Nexus running Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean

ASUS Nexus 7(2012) running Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean

LG Nexus 4 running Android 4.4.2 KitKat

LG Nexus 5 running Android 4.4.2 KitKat

ASUS Nexus 7(2013) running Android 4.4.2 KitKat

This works best in Android 4.0 and above. The attached APK install file has an TabHost with my Sliding Menu on top.

Please note: Starting from version 1.34 you will have the add a 9-Patch file called pnl_v_shadow.9.png into your '\Objects\res\drawable' folder, without this file the drawer will cause an error. The file can be found in TestSlidingMenu.zip in the above mentioned folder.

Cheers

- UPDATED V1.2, Removed the NFC Foreground Library.
- UPDATED V1.3, SDK checker and some other small updates.
- UPDATED V1.31, Added full length or item length vertical menu setting (MenuFullLength = True/False).
- UPDATED V1.32, Added the option to show or hide the top slide menu button (ShowSlideButton = True/False)
- UPDATED V1.34, Added method to show sliding menu

Last updated on 20th May 2015, see V1.34 update note above.

Hi,

TestSlidingMenu.zip is damaged unable to extract , can you upload the same.

thanks

Peter Simpson · Jun 6, 2015

Hello,
I'll re-upload the file when I get back to my laptop...

Jose Luis Barajas · Jun 19, 2015

Hi Peter

There is a way to disable the full screen mode using your library?
I Tried changing the settings for not use the entire screen, but in the bottom appears a white region, and no look good.

There is also the way to detect the click event on the status bar, because appears this icon can close the view, and causes confusion

Thanks¡

Hi Peter,

I got an error on pnl_v_shadow exception in V1.35. I don't know if i missed something.

Thanks

Ferbis · Jul 10, 2015

Hi Peter,

Thanks for this library, I'm trying to run the example and I have the following errors. Any idea, why? Thanks in advance

Ferbis · Jul 11, 2015

Probably the android version is low. Please see attached the AVD that I used. I read that "This works best in Android 4.0 and above" and I thought that Android 4.1.2 it was ok.

I'm getting the same errors as yourself, it doesn't matter what device is the target because it is a Compile error. I've tried changing the Target SDK and Min SDK levels in the manifest but I couldn't fix it with that either.

Did you manage to get a workaround for this?

No. I gave up. I choosed this library because it was apparently simple to manage but I found this problem and I don't know what to do; so I will wait for a new release with the hope that the problem will disappear
