I'm trying to implement an Android style side menu and I'm having an issue implementing the rounded icon on top and labels below it before the sideCommands are added.
How do I implement this please?
You can use Toolbar API which allows you to add components to the Sidemenu.
Have a look at Flickr demo.
Instead of using tool.addCommandToSideMenu(Command) you should use tool.addComponentToSideMenu(yourComponent, CommandToPerform)
Example:
#Override
protected void beforeMain(Form f) {
//Store your commands before setting toolbar
List<Command> cmds = new ArrayList();
for (int i = 0; i < f.getCommandCount(); i++) {
cmds.add(f.getCommand(i));
}
Toolbar toolbar = new Toolbar();
f.setToolBar(toolbar);
Label lblTitle = new Label("My Form", "Title");
lblTitle.setEndsWith3Points(false);
toolbar.setTitleComponent(lblTitle);
// Use your stored commands after setting toolbar
for (Command cmd : cmds) {
toolbar.addCommandToSideMenu(cmd);
}
Container CustomContainer = ...
toolbar.addComponentToSideMenu(CustomContainer, new Command("") {
#Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {
//What CustomContainer should do (if any)
}
});
f.revalidate();
}

I hand-coded my app using CN1 (based on CN1's standard form template). Mostly for using Calendar for appointment app (I have reason not to use Picker).
Here's my main Form class
public class celebriesta {
private Form current;
private Resources theme;
private Form home;
public void init(Object context) {
theme = UIManager.initFirstTheme("/theme");
// Enable Toolbar on all Forms by default
Toolbar.setGlobalToolbar(true);
// Pro only feature
Log.bindCrashProtection(true);
}
public void start() {
if (current != null) {
current.show();
return;
}
home = new Form("Home", BoxLayout.y());
mainCalendar Calendar = new mainCalendar();
home.addComponent(Calendar);
Calendar.setUIID("Calendar");
//Create Form1 and Form2 and set a Back Command to navigate back to the home Form
Form form1 = new Form("Form1");
setBackCommand(form1);
Form form2 = new Form("Form2");
setBackCommand(form2);
Form form3 = new Form("Form3");
setBackCommand(form3);
//Add navigation commands to the home Form
NavigationCommand cmd1 = new NavigationCommand("Form1");
cmd1.setNextForm(form1);
home.getToolbar().addCommandToSideMenu(cmd1);
NavigationCommand cmd2 = new NavigationCommand("Form2");
cmd2.setNextForm(form2);
home.getToolbar().addCommandToSideMenu(cmd2);
NavigationCommand cmd3 = new NavigationCommand("Form3");
cmd3.setNextForm(form3);
Calendar.createDay().pressed();
Calendar.createDay().released();
Calendar.createDay().setCommand(cmd3);
//Add Edit commands to the home Form context Menu
Image im = FontImage.createMaterial(FontImage.MATERIAL_MODE_EDIT, UIManager.getInstance().getComponentStyle("Command"));
Command edit = new Command("", im) {
#Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {
System.out.println("Editing");
}
};
home.getToolbar().addCommandToRightBar(edit);
home.show();
}
protected void setBackCommand(Form f) {
Command back = new Command("") {
#Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {
home.showBack();
}
};
Image img = FontImage.createMaterial(FontImage.MATERIAL_ARROW_BACK, UIManager.getInstance().getComponentStyle("TitleCommand"));
back.setIcon(img);
f.getToolbar().addCommandToLeftBar(back);
f.getToolbar().setTitleCentered(true);
f.setBackCommand(back);
}
public void stop() {
current = getCurrentForm();
}
public void destroy() {
}}
I've override Calendar class accordingly
public class mainCalendar extends Calendar { #Override
protected Button createDay(){ Button day = new Button();
Image im = FontImage.createMaterial(FontImage.MATERIAL_MODE_EDIT, UIManager.getInstance().getComponentStyle("Command"));
day.setIcon(im);
return day;
}
#Override
protected void updateButtonDayDate(Button dayButton, int currentMonth, int day) {
//Customize day values
dayButton.setText("" +day);
}}
The main Form manages to get to Form 1 & 2 (sidemenu). I know Form 3 does exist but not sure why it didn't managed to be 'reached' from createDay(). And I suspect it's something wrong somewhere around this code in main Form
Calendar.createDay().pressed();
Calendar.createDay().released();
Calendar.createDay().setCommand(cmd3);
Need advise and/or help.
Have a look at a sample code here that creates a custom calendar day component. You don't need the below code:
Calendar.createDay().pressed();
Calendar.createDay().released();
Calendar.createDay().setCommand(cmd3);
Calendar day pressing and releasing is handled through an actionListener which you can implement through overriding the bindDayListener() if you're using a custom day component or addDayActionListener() if you're using the default day button. An example will be:
Calendar.addDayActionListener(evt -> {
//show your next form here
});
Unless you need a high-level customization, I don't see a point subclassing the Calendar class.
I have customized my form titlebar and added buttons to it. Is it possible to add a listener to one of the buttons to add command(s) an overflow menu and show it.
Yes, command/s can be added to overflow menu by using the following codes and actionPerformed is called when click on the command
Toolbar toolbar = new Toolbar();
f.setToolbar(toolbar);
toolbar.addCommandToOverflowMenu(new Command("Test") {
#Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {
showForm("NewForm",null);
}
});
Please try this it displays overflow menu when you click on button.
void showOverFlow(final Form f) {
Toolbar toolbar = new Toolbar();
f.setToolBar(toolbar);
toolbar.addCommandToOverflowMenu(new Command("overflow"));
Button button = new Button("show menu");
button.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {
if (f.getToolbar() != null) {
MenuBar mb = f.getToolbar().getMenuBar();
if (mb != null) {
mb.showMenu();
}
}
}
});
toolbar.addComponent(BorderLayout.WEST,button);
}
i am trying to make an app in Codename one where i want to create a handburger menu on the right side at the top of the screen and a back button on the left side, but cannot get it to work I know it can be done where you have a handburger menu on the left side and a button on the right side. I made a picture of how I want it to look like. The back button is added in paint and not through the code.
Picture of app example
below is the code that I have used to get the menu on the right side.
public class MainForm {
public static Form mainForm;
Command cmd_back, cmd_AboutTheApp;
private enum SideMenuMode {
SIDE, RIGHT_SIDE {
public String getCommandHint() {
return SideMenuBar.COMMAND_PLACEMENT_VALUE_RIGHT;
}
};
public String getCommandHint() {
return null;
}
public void updateCommand(Command c) {
String h = getCommandHint();
if(h == null) {
return;
}
c.putClientProperty(SideMenuBar.COMMAND_PLACEMENT_KEY, h);
}
};
SideMenuMode mode = SideMenuMode.RIGHT_SIDE;
public void init(Object context) {
theme = UIManager.initFirstTheme("/theme");
UIManager.getInstance().setThemeProps(theme.getTheme theme.getThemeResourceNames()[0]));
UIManager.getInstance().getLookAndFeel().setMenuBarClass(SideMenuBar.class);
Display.getInstance().setCommandBehavior(Display.COMMAND_BEHAVIOR_SIDE_NAVIGATION);
}
public void start() {
if(mainForm != null){
mainForm.show();
return;
}
mainForm = new Form();
mainForm.setTitleComponent(title);
mainForm.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
addCommands(mainForm);
}
private void addCommands(Form f){
cmd_Back = new Command("Back");
final Button btn_Back = new Button("Back");
cmd_Back.putClientProperty("TitleCommand", btn_Back);
btn_BackButton.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {
//do some thing
}
});
cmd_AboutTheApp = new Command("About the app");
final Button btn_AboutTheApp = new Button("About the app");
cmd_AboutTheApp.putClientProperty("SideComponent", btn_AboutTheApp);
btn_AboutTheApp.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {
//do some thing
}
});
mode.updateCommand(cmd_Back);
f.addCommand(cmd_Back);
mode.updateCommand(cmd_AboutTheApp);
f.addCommand(cmd_AboutTheApp);
}
}
if I move the back button so that it is added after AboutTheApp button then the back button is displayed on the right side of the screen but also to the right of the menu, which is also on the right side. I've tried a lot of different ways but none seems to be working
We supported a right side menu bar in the SideMenuBar but not in the Toolbar API. We support placing components/commands in the left/right side of the title area in the Toolbar API but not in the SideMenuBar.
I guess the solution is to add support for the right menu bar into the Toolbar API but I'm not sure what the complexities are for such a change.
I suggest filing an RFE in the issue tracker asking for this but it probably won't be soon as we are closing the features for 3.3 right now.
I have an app that does this. Search Google Play (or App Store) for "Torquepower Diesel Cummins Engine" app.
in the theme Constants I set my own rightSideMenuImage and rightSideMenuPressImage, but the default hamburger menu may be OK for you.
On the beforeXXXX of each form I do something like this:
super.beforePartNumberForm(f);
Toolbar tb = createToolbar(f);
createBackCommand(f, tb);
addHelpX(tb);
addViewCartX(tb);
addCallTorquepowerX(tb);
addReverseSwipe(f);
create the toolbar
Toolbar createToolbar(Form f) {
Toolbar tb = new Toolbar();
f.setToolBar(tb);
Label l = new Label();
l.setIcon(res.getImage("tpd_logoZZ.png"));
tb.setTitleComponent(l);
return tb;
}
create the back button
void createBackCommand(Form f, Toolbar tb) {
Command c = new Command("") {
#Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {
back();
}
};
c.setIcon(res.getImage("black_left_arrow-512.png"));
c.setPressedIcon(res.getImage("grey_left_arrow-512.png"));
// MUST set this before adding to toolbar, else get null pointer
f.setBackCommand(c);
tb.addCommandToLeftBar(c);
}
add whatever commands are needed to the sidemenu
void addHelpX(Toolbar tb) {
Command c = new Command("Help") {
#Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {
showForm("HelpForm", null);
}
};
c.putClientProperty(SideMenuBar.COMMAND_PLACEMENT_KEY, SideMenuBar.COMMAND_PLACEMENT_VALUE_RIGHT);
c.putClientProperty("SideComponent", new SideMenuItem(fetchResourceFile(), c.toString(), "very_basic_about.png"));
c.putClientProperty("Actionable", Boolean.TRUE);
tb.addCommandToSideMenu(c);
}
I use my own SideMenuItem which is:
public class SideMenuItem extends Button {
SideMenuItem() {
this("");
}
SideMenuItem(String s) {
super(s);
setUIID("SideMenuItem");
int h = Display.getInstance().convertToPixels(8, false);
setPreferredH(h);
}
SideMenuItem(Resources res, String s, String icon) {
super();
setIcon(res.getImage(icon));
setText(s);
setUIID("SideMenuItem");
int h = Display.getInstance().convertToPixels(8, false);
setPreferredH(h);
}
}
In form I embedded WebBrowser component with lots of html contents (Mainly Table, buttons ) for rich ui. Is it possible to handle event on clicking html button ?
Sure, look at the kitchen sink demo for a sample.
Generally just navigate to a URL on the event and implement your own BrowserNavigationCallback to handle navigation to that specific URL.
This is the code from the Kitchen Sink demo notice the setBrowserNavigationCallback block:
final WebBrowser wb = new WebBrowser();
if(wb.getInternal() instanceof BrowserComponent) {
Button btn = new Button("Add");
final TextArea content = new TextArea();
Container north = new Container(new BorderLayout());
north.addComponent(BorderLayout.CENTER, content);
north.addComponent(BorderLayout.EAST, btn);
cnt.addComponent(BorderLayout.NORTH, north);
content.setHint("Add to web document");
btn.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {
((BrowserComponent)wb.getInternal()).execute("fnc('" + content.getText() + "');");
}
});
((BrowserComponent)wb.getInternal()).setBrowserNavigationCallback(new BrowserNavigationCallback() {
public boolean shouldNavigate(String url) {
if(url.startsWith("http://sayhello")) {
// warning!!! This is not on the EDT and this method MUST return immediately!
Display.getInstance().callSerially(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
((BrowserComponent)wb.getInternal()).execute("fnc('this was written by Java code!')");
}
});
return false;
}
return true;
}
});
}
I would like to display html formatted text that I have as a string.
Does the WebBroswer component support this ?
If yes, what method to use ?
Thanks,
Sanket
Code:
private void loadCourseDesc() {
Container courseDescContainer = new Container(new BoxLayout(BoxLayout.Y_AXIS));
NETextArea title = new NETextArea(AppState.current_Course.getTitle());
title.setUIID("biggreylabel");
courseDescContainer.addComponent(title);
Container c1 = new Container(new BoxLayout(BoxLayout.X_AXIS));
Label l = new Label("Fees:" + AppState.current_Course.getFees());
l.setUIID("mgreylabel");
c1.addComponent(l);
Label l1 = new Label("Completion Date:" + AppState.current_Course.getExpiryDate());
l1.setUIID("mgreylabelLM");
c1.addComponent(l1);
courseDescContainer.addComponent(c1);
WebBrowser wb = new WebBrowser(){
#Override
public void onLoad(String url) {
super.onLoad(url); //To change body of generated methods, choose Tools | Templates.
instance.forceRevalidate();
}
};
wb.setScrollableY(true);
System.out.println("::---" + AppState.current_Course.getDesc());
wb.setPage(AppState.current_Course.getDesc(), "http://localhost/");
courseDescContainer.addComponent(wb);
replace(courseDescContainer);
Code for replace:
private void replace(final Container c) {
Display.getInstance().callSerially(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
instance.replaceAndWait(currentCentre, c, null);
currentCentre = c;
instance.forceRevalidate();
}
});
}
It supports it by adding the component into the container, to set HTML instead of a URL just use setPage instead of setURL.
