Wish: Preferences Activity

[corwin42]

Will B4A support preferences activities directly in the next version?

Not in the next update.

Not in the next update.

Hmm, would it make sense to create a custom library for preferences activities and does B4A support creating libraries which implement other activity types?

I'm just starting a new project and a preferences activity would make saving settings very easy. So perhaps I will first start to implement this library.

I think that it will be pretty difficult to implement it as an external library.

I think that it will be pretty difficult to implement it as an external library.

Any particular reason? I wouldn't mind doing it once I get the hang up library making...

 

[Erel]

It is difficult to add activities from libraries.

 

[NeoTechni]

Difficult or impossible?

 

[corwin42]

B4A currently just does not support creating activities with libraries and as Erel said I think it would be very difficult.

The best thing would be a new module type "preferences activity" in B4A IDE. Perhaps Erel will have a look into it in the future. I think it won't be too hard to implement preferences activities directly into B4A.
