Activity

Each activity module include a predefined Activity object.
Activity is the main component of your application.
Activities have three special life cycle related event: Activity_Create, Activity_Resume and Activity_Pause.
See this tutorial for more information about activities and processes life cycle: Life cycle tutorial.

You can add and remove views to this activity with AddView and RemoveViewAt methods.
You can also load a layout file with LoadLayout.
The Touch event can be used to handle user touches.
The first parameter of this event is the Action parameter. The parameter values can be ACTION_DOWN,
ACTION_MOVE or ACTION_UP. Use this value to find the user current action.
The KeyPress and KeyUp events occur when the user presses or releases a key, assuming that no other view has consumed this event (like EditText).
When handling the KeyPress or KeyUp event you should return a boolean value which tells whether the event was consumed.
For example if the user pressed on the Back key and you return True then the OS will not close your activity.

Sub Activity_KeyPress (KeyCode As Int) As Boolean
  If Keycode = KeyCodes.KEYCODE_BACK Then
    Return True
  Else
    Return False
  End If
End Sub
You can add menu items to the activity with AddMenuItem method. Note that this method should only be called inside
Activity_Create event.
Starting from Android 4.3 it is not possible to show a modal dialog inside the KeyPress or KeyUp events, with one exception which is in the case of the Back key.
If you need to show a modal dialog for other keys then you should call a sub with CallSubDelayed and show the modal dialog in that sub.

Events:

Touch (Action As Int, X As Float, Y As Float)
KeyPress (KeyCode As Int) As Boolean 'Return True to consume the event
KeyUp (KeyCode As Int) As Boolean
WindowFocusChanged (Focused As Boolean)
ActionBarHomeClick
PermissionResult (Permission As String, Result As Boolean)

ACTION_DOWN As Int
ACTION_MOVE As Int
ACTION_UP As Int
AddMenuItem (Title As CharSequence, EventName As String)
Adds a menu item to the activity.
Title - Menu item title.
EventName - The prefix name of the sub that will handle the click event.
This method should only be called inside sub Activity_Create.
Note that the 'Sender' value inside the click event equals to the clicked menu item text.
Example:
Activity.AddMenuItem("Open File", "OpenFile")
...
Sub OpenFile_Click
...
End Sub
AddMenuItem2 (Title As CharSequence, EventName As String, Bitmap As android.graphics.Bitmap)
Adds a menu item to the activity.
Title - Menu item title.
EventName - The prefix name of the sub that will handle the click event.
Bitmap - Bitmap to draw as the item background.
Only the first five (or six if there are six total) menu items display icons.
This method should only be called inside sub Activity_Create.
Note that the 'Sender' value inside the click event equals to the clicked menu item text.
Example:
Activity.AddMenuItem2("Open File", "OpenFile", LoadBitmap(File.DirAssets, "SomeImage.png"))
...
Sub OpenFile_Click
...
End Sub
AddMenuItem3 (Title As CharSequence, EventName As String, Bitmap As android.graphics.Bitmap, AddToActionBar As Boolean)
Similar to AddMenuItem2. If AddToActionBar is true then the item will be displayed in the action bar (on Android 3.0+ devices) if there is enough room.
If there is not enough room then the item will be displayed together with the other menu items.
AddView (View As android.view.View, Left As Int, Top As Int, Width As Int, Height As Int)
Adds a view to this activity.
Background As android.graphics.drawable.Drawable
Gets or sets the background drawable.
CloseMenu
Programmatically closes the menu.
Color As Int [write only]
Sets the background of the view to be a ColorDrawable with the given color.
If the current background is of type GradientDrawable or ColorDrawable the round corners will be kept.
DisableAccessibility (Disable As Boolean)
This method was added as a workaround for the following Android bug.
By setting the Disable property to True the child views (of all Activities) will not be added to the accessibility enabled list.
Finish
Closes this activity.
GetAllViewsRecursive As IterableList
Returns an iterator that iterates over all the child views including views that were added to other child views.
Example:
For Each v As View In Activity.GetAllViewsRecursive
  ...
Next
GetStartingIntent As Intent

This can be used together with SetActivityResult to return results to 3rd party applications.
GetView (Index As Int) As View
Gets the view that is stored in the specified index.
Height As Int
Gets or sets the view's height.
Initialize (EventName As String)
Initializes the view and sets the subs that will handle the events.
Views added with the designer should NOT be initialized. These views are initialized when the layout is loaded.
Invalidate
Invalidates the whole view forcing the view to redraw itself.
Redrawing will only happen when the program can process messages. Usually when it finishes running the current code.
Invalidate2 (Rect As android.graphics.Rect)
Invalidates the given rectangle.
Redrawing will only happen when the program can process messages. Usually when it finishes running the current code.
Invalidate3 (Left As Int, Top As Int, Right As Int, Bottom As Int)
Invalidates the given rectangle.
Redrawing will only happen when the program can process messages. Usually when it finishes running the current code.

EditText

EditText view is a view that allows the user to write free text (similar to WinForms TextBox).
The EditText has two modes; SingleLine and MultiLine. You can set it to be multiline by calling EditText1.SingleLine = False
On most devices the soft keyboard will show automatically when the user presses on the EditText.
You can change the InputType property and change the type of keyboard that appears.
For example: EditText1.InputType = EditText1.INPUT_TYPE_NUMBERS will cause the numeric keyboard to appear when
the user presses on the EditText. Note that it will also cause the EditText to only accept numbers.

The TextChanged event fires whenever the text changes and it includes the old and new strings.
The EnterPressed event fires when the user presses on the enter key or action key (Done or Next).
The FocusChanged event fires when the view is focused or loses focus. HasFocus parameter value will be set accordingly.
Note that most views are not focusable. For example, pressing on a Button will not change the focus state of an EditText.
This is an 'Activity Object', it cannot be declared under Sub Process_Globals.

WebView

The WebView view uses the internal WebKit engine to display Html pages.
The page displayed can be an online page loaded with LoadUrl or a Html string loaded with LoadHtml.
The PageFinished event is raised after the page loads.
OverrideUrl is called before loading any Url. If this method returns True then the Url will not be loaded.
You can use this event as a way to handle click events in your code.
UserAndPasswordRequired event is raised when accessing a site that requires basic authentication.
You should return an array of strings with the username as the first element and password as the second element.
For example:Return Array As String("someuser", "password123")
Returning Null will cancel the request.
Sending incorrect credentials will cause this event to be raised again.
This is an 'Activity Object', it cannot be declared under Sub Process_Globals.
