Hi David,

you know i had to rewrite my app. I got it so far, in order to make it better than before i reworked some parts.
Instead of using local storage where memory is limited, i use cordova file.
That part works fine now, but in the first i had problems to compile the app using the batch file.
The problem was the limitation of path lenghts.
When i understood that, i changed the my project path to the root directory. On the way to that, i also had to update cordova.
So now I'm running on the latest cordova version.

So far the preamble...

The problem now is, that after these changes i do not get the app icon anymore. I took a look in the appbuilder pathes and appbuilder correctly copies my icon into its subpaths but after the execute of the compile.bat i see that in the res folder of the android subfolder the icon is still the default appbuilder icon.

Any ideas?

Thanks and regards
Antonio

Hi David,

thanks a lot. That's great. To point 4, i need it in order to do value validation and change the value to something valid, if it doesn't fit.
I got it to work. The report control is such a great thing. I could style and change into the behaviour we had in mind. Doesn't mean that it is good ;-), but it's great to have this freedom.

As always good support, thanks
Antonio

Hi David,

I've put an

inside the html property of an Report Control.

Now i don't want to catch the click like it is used in many samples:

But i want to catch the event when the value is changed. Is that possible?

Thanks and regards

Is it possible then, to use a text input (to show the value formatted) and open up the native date selection (lets say on click),
or do i have then to fully customize my own date selection?

Hi there,

I would like to show the DateValue inside of the Date Input formatted like this:

DD.MM.YYYY

I've seen several posts how to bring date values formatted into a text input or how to manipulate it
to show in other control, but is it also possible to show it formatted directly in the date input?

thanks and regards
Antonio

Hi there,

I have a Date Input and a Number Input on my view.
I used the Agenda example to serialize/deserialize data in local storage.

To get the values into the inputs i use:
<br> // For number:<br> ObjectGetProp "[Item]" "Count" "[TempNumber]"<br> StrToNumber "[TempNumber]" "[CountInput.Value]" </p> <p> // For date:<br> ObjectGetProp "[Item]" "ExpirationDate" "[RecordDate]"<br> NewDate "[RecordDate]" "" "[TempDate]"<br> DateToJSDate "[TempDate]" "[ExpirationInput.Value]"

If do not cast the values i get errors.
So, is this the right way to go, do i need to cast them into the
correct types? Is there a an other approach to consider?

thanks and regards
Antonio

Hi David,

one last question on this one. How to get lets say ClientY to use in AB?
I couldn't figure out.

thanks
Antonio

Great!

Hi David,

thanks for your input. I've tried out both solutions now,
i didn't know that the Alert will be used as native alert, so yes this one looks good and is multiline. Fits my needs for now.

I also like the dialog solution, just one question here. Is it possible to make the DialogView smaller than the other views?
I ask that because when i show the dialog in modal its so large that is scrolls ab bit and i would like to prevent the dialog view from scrolling,
it should be less in the height.

thanks and regards
Antonio

Good morning,

while I'm trying to get my validation run, i noticed that it is not possible to use
linebreaks inside AB Alertbox oder Messagebox. Or better, i can use it and it gets parsed but
but no linebreak will be executed.

Could this be changed?

I've seen that a JS-Alert can use linebreaks, but they don't look so fancy like the AB ones ;-)

thanks and regards
Antonio

i see. Sure that works in this case, but you're right that needs improvement.

The idea is to provide the functions two values, one that will be extended and the other that extends, without knowing the outer variables, so that i could use AddLine for any variable i put in, and do not need to know it's global name.

So, here we are again with use of globals :|

Good Evenening,

i'm trying to use a function with arguments like following, but it seems not work as expected:

Code in the function:

----

Call from Event, somewhere else:
</p> <p> // Init WarningMsg<br> SetVar "[WarningMsg]" "" "String"</p> <p> ...</p> <p> if "[ValidationMessage]" "!=" ""</p> <p> AddLine "[WarningMsg]" "[ValidationMessage]"</p> <p> EndIf</p> <p> ...

Edit:
I want to input two values and append the second value to the first value using a linebreak
I expect to get the values of the variables [WarningMsg] and [ValidationMessage] values into the argument variables
[WarningMsg] and [AValue]

You are right, if i use it just for a single event like remove current record or move record to another position, then it's ok.
Probably i do not need more right now.

My idea was to swipe in a Container with some buttons in it to provide further functionality on that record. In that case i would need the coordinate, but you are right. Right now i do not need that functionality

That's good i need that too ;-)

But i meant:

The Y-Coordinate of the swiped row.
I need that to adjust the Top Property of the container control that i want to swipe in, like you do in the SwipeMenu Samples.

In order to perform a swipe in from right or left, I want top have the Y Coordinate of the current record
