UltimateWebView Version 2.3 released. Library is now compatible with B4XPages. Download library and documents from first post.

Changes:

• Added method AllowFullScreenVideo (Allowed As Boolean,ForceLandscape As Boolean) to UltimateWebView class.
• Library reorganized and deleted unnecessary class imports.
• Bugs fixed.

AllowFullScreenVideo enables to display videos in full screen (eg youtube videos and other video streaming services). In order for this method to work, it is necessary to prevent Activity redrawing in case of screen orientation changed because all views will lose their instances and restart to initial instances. For these purposes I recommend using the SoftOrientation library. To download the library and read instructions for using the SoftOrientation library, click here.

SoftOrientation version 1.2 realised. Download library from first post

Changes:

1. Added property RotationInDegrees as Int in SoftOrientationForActivities and SoftOrientationForB4XPages
2. From version 1.2 library XUI is not necessary for library functionality.
3. Fixed wrong Activity size bug when Activity full screen is active.
4. Improved view resizing process in case of orientation change.
5. Fixed bug when B4XPage or Activity view hierarchy change.

IMPORTANT:
Do not add any views before initializing the SoftOrientationForActivity, or in the case of B4XPages projects, before initializing the SoftOrientationB4XPage for the selected page to avoid accidentally misreading the view hierarchy. Examples:

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
    Activity.LoadLayout("Layout")
    SoftOrientationMain.Initialize(Me,"SoftOrientationMain",Activity,"Layout")
   
    'Here you can continue to adding views programatically or fill custom views with content
End Sub

Private Sub B4XPage_Created (Root1 As B4XView)
    Root = Root1
    'load the layout to Root
    Root.LoadLayout("Layout")
    SoftOrientationMain.Initialize(B4XPages.GetNativeParent(Me))
    SoftOrientationMainPage.Initialize(Me,"SoftOrientationMainPage","mainpage","Layout",SoftOrientationMain.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_SENSOR,Root.As(Panel))
    SoftOrientationMain.AddB4XPage2(SoftOrientationMainPage)

    'Here you can continue to adding views programatically or fill custom views with content
End Sub

Private Sub B4XPage_Created (Root1 As B4XView)
    Root = Root1
    'load the layout to Root
    Root.LoadLayout("Page2")
    SoftOrientationPage2.Initialize(Me,"SoftOrientationPage2",B4XPages.GetPageId(Me),"Page2",B4XPages.MainPage.SoftOrientationMain.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_SENSOR,Root)
    B4XPages.MainPage.SoftOrientationMain.AddB4XPage2(SoftOrientationPage2)
   
    'Here you can continue to adding views programatically or fill custom views with content
End Sub
