Android Question [SOLVED] [B4X] MainPage FirstTime

[makis_best]

Hello

With the Default method on Activity_Create we can check FirstTime run.
With B4XPages how we can check FirstTime?

Thank you.

An (not exactly my real project) example:

Private Sub B4XPage_Created (Root1 As B4XView)

End Sub

' Code to be executed once only.

    ' Animated splash screen.
    Wait For (mSplash.StartSplash(1500)) Complete(Unused As Boolean)
    '...
    Wait For Ssl_SslIssueFixed(SslIssueFixed As Boolean)
    If Not(SslIssueFixed) Then
        ' ...
        MsgboxAsync(Message, Title)
        Wait For Msgbox_Result (Result As Int)
        CallSub(Main, "CloseApp")
    End If

Private Sub B4XPage_Appear
    Wait For (RetrieveNewDataForSomeSource) Complete (Updated As Boolean)
    If Updated Then UpdateDataViews
    '...
End Sub

How would you, Erel, avoiding the "complexity" of using that simple module-level variable like in my post #7?

I agree with you @LucaMs need an answer.

The answer to the question in the first post is that B4XPage_Create is raised once and it therefore similar to Activity_Create with FirstTime = True.

If, for some strange reason, you want to change the layout when the page reappears then using the Reappear event is good.

I cant find Reappear event on the list

B4XPage_Appear.
