Android Code Snippet Tip: CSBuilder usage

ShepSoft · Jul 7, 2020

A small point about CSBuilder.
You cannot mix CSBuilder objects with 'standard' text because the formatting will be lost.
This works as expected:

B4X:

    cs.Initialize.Append("Hello ")
    cs.Color(Colors.Blue).Append("world!").Pop
    lbl.Text = cs

but this removes all formatting:

B4X:

    cs.Initialize.Append("Hello ")
    cs.Color(Colors.Blue).Append("world!").Pop
    lbl.Text = cs & " "

If you want to preserve the formatting, simply do this: cs=cs.Append(" ") instead of this: lbl.Text = cs & " "

B4X:

cs.Initialize.Append("Hello ")
    cs.Color(Colors.Blue).Append("world!").Pop
    lbl.Text = cs=cs.Append(" ")
