Android Question [SOLVED] Adding border to EditText views?

[MegatenFreak]

Hi. Is there any way to do that? I know there're no functions in the view itself and that you can put a panel under it or something, but that's a little inconvenient. Any other ways, like with CSS, for example?
Any ideas? Thanks.

Personalizar vista B4XFloatTextField

Estimados, Quiero compartir un ejemplo (archivo adjunto) de como se puede personalizar una vista B4XFloatTextField de la librería XUI Views. En este ejemplo he usado el método de desarrollo B4XPages, y si desea se puede usar en el desarrollo normal. La única diferencia entre las plataforma...

Thanks, but I wasn't referring to B4XFloatTextField.

I found the solution, and I apologize for posting before trying everything possible. It just came to my mind a little bit late:

    Dim cd As ColorDrawable
    cd.Initialize2(Colors.White, 5dip, 5dip, Colors.Black)
    MyEditText.Background = cd

(B4A) B4XFloatTextField

    Dim cd As ColorDrawable
    cd.Initialize2(Colors.White, 5dip, 5dip, Colors.Black)
    Dim MyEditText As EditText = B4XFloatTextField1.TextField
    MyEditText.Background = cd

If you use a standard b4xview there is a method called SetColorAndBorder which will do what you require.
if you have declared an edittext you can use the As(b4xview) cast

edittext.as(b4xview).setcolorandborder()

if you have declared an edittext you can use the As(b4xview) cast

edittext.as(b4xview).setcolorandborder()

Where do you use that "as" cast code??? It's not part of B4X. I just tried.

Update B4A - Current version is 11.0.

Wow! That's amazing!
Thanks a lot! I don't know why I keep forgetting to check for updates! Anyway, I didn't expect the B4X language to receive such an exciting new feature! It saves me a lot of trouble.
