Hello Paolo,

I am not sure if can understand perfectly well. If what you want is to mix the navbar control and an swipe menu, that is, use the "hamburger" button to shown the menu, I am not sure if that can be the best. The "hamburger" button already do their work by shown the navbar items.

Maybe I can prepare an even for that button, but, again, I am not sure if that is what you wanted or really needed. For example, if you take a look at the "SwipeMenu*" samples, what we use to show the menu is the "SwipeRight" event of the app's view.

Inside that event, we use the app's function "DoShowSwipeMenu", as you can see. Ok. In fact, you can use that function from another place, for example, from an Button Click event. And that Button can have an "hamburger" icon (the FontAwesome icon is "fa-bars").

So, I am not sure if this can be useful for you or not. Please, go ahead if you have some further questions.

P.S. As you can see below in the image, we use the refered technique to shown our app's swipe menu: see at the top right corner the menu button. The button's Click event toggle the menu visibility.

Hola Julio,

Lo mejor, ahora mismo, si se incluye código, es usar el icono de la izquiera del editor y tratar con el HTML directamente. El código ha de ir entre etiquetas HTML "code". Quisiera mejorar en lo posible el editor del foro, a ver si saco un poco de tiempo y me pongo con ello.

Hola Julio,

En efecto, la variable opcional "Loading" del control "Report" no admite HTML, sólo texto plano. Podría admitirse HTML para dicha variable, sin embargo, he optado por identificar el texto con las clases CSS oportunas. Al fin y al cabo, el texto "Loading" es opcional, y, podemos ofrecer al usuario otro tipo de "progreso" (mediante un control "Progressbar", por ejemplo) a la hora de cargar información en un Report.

Por favor, actualice su copia de App Builder. Ahora, el control Report identifica el texto de la variable "Loading" del siguiente modo: Si el Report tiene su variable "Wrapper" con un valor "table", ahora tiene a su disposición tres clases CSS que puede usar: "loading-row", "loading-col" y "loading-text". Si el Report tiene su variable "Wrapper" con un valor "grid", las clases CSS que puede usar ahora son "loading-container" y "loading-text".

Podría aplicar un estilo a todos los "Loading" de los "Report" usando sin más las clases CSS mencionadas, por ejemplo:

Y, si prefiere acotar el estilo a un control "Report" en particular, puede hacerlo anteponiendo el identificador del control, que, coincide con su nombre en App Builder, por ejemplo:

Espero que esto pueda serle de utilidad.

Hello Paolo,

i have another ask for you. there is a way to avoid to close the android app with the back button?

Yes; please, take a look at the "ConfirmExit" sample.

Hello Paolo,

Are you take a look at the SwipeMenu* samples? There is not an "sidebar" control "out of the box", but, we can implement it using some other already available controls, more or less as you can see in the SwipeMenu* samples.

I use it in this particular app, as you can see in this screenshot:

You're welcome John!

Maybe I can say something more about this question. In fact, our apps only need an HTTP server to run, not big HTTP server like Apache, but, almost anyone that can just server content over HTTP. Any tiny HTTP server can do the work.

On the other hand, browsers like Firefox are capable to run our apps just by open their "index.html" file, without the usage of any HTTP server. But this can cause some problems or have some restrictions.

Since not all browsers support "local files" to be opened, and, certainly that "local files" way can cause some unexpected results, we recommend the usage of an HTTP server. Maybe some apps can be deployed as simple "local files". Depend on the app.

Hello John,

In fact, what we need is to put the "_Compiled" directory files in a hosting.

For example, you can see here the Calculator sample running in my hosting:

Hello Tin,

Just to inform you what the Ripple Effect sample has been included in the current release of DecSoft's App Builder.

Thanks again! :-)

Hello Tin,

Please, upgrade your AB copy. The error that you report has been fixed. Thanks very much for your report and also for the idea about try to keep old releases availables! I will try to add another "tab" in the DecSoft's customer area to made this possible. Thanks again Tin!

Hello Tin,

Right now you can't download an older version. I can try to provide it... but, please, let me sometime. Certainly I can see the error that you get, and, I also know what is the cause. I am trying to solve it. I will inform here to you.

Hello Tin,

Can you, please, provide to me an sample app?

About your second question... maybe I can do something about... yes... I think can be a good idea.

Hola Julio,

Ninguna disculpa, hombre. Pero, yo pensaba que hablábamos de controles Inputs, botones, etc. Ciertamente, las imágenes son un poco diferentes, pues, acaso queramos que ocupen el ancho de la pantalla, pero, no queremos que se deformen. ¿Has echado un vistazo al ejemplo "Images" que acompaña a App Builder?

En todo caso, recuerda que puedes user la acción SetStyle para cambiar el estilo de la imagen, o acciones como "AddClass", para añadir classes CSS en tiempo de ejecución, o bien código CSS que puedes situar dentro de la opción "Inline CSS" de la app.

Hello Tin,

Well. Certainly you touch an interesting point: if our targets are a few (Android and iOS), yes, we can just take care about that targets and therefore don't think about other possible ones. Anyway... since App Builder produces apps to be run in all mobile and desktop browsers, IN ADDITION, to the hybrid apps that we can create with the help of Cordova, always is better to maintain us in some standard.... maybe you can think tomorrow in deploy your app into other platform too. But yes, you touch an interesting point of view Tin.

Hola Julio,

Pues,... francamente,... no termina de quedarme claro. Me explico. Si tú sitúas un control Input Text, por ejemplo, de modo que este ocupe toda la vista (a lo ancho), y, la app tiene la opción "auto escalar" establecida, entonces, dicho control ocupará toda la vista (a lo ancho), que, parece que es exactamente lo que quieres

De hecho, yo estoy probando ahora mismo algo así aquí (si es lo que creo que es, claro), y, parece funcionar correctamente, aunque, ojo, no en Internet Explorer 11, esto es, no en el navegador del depurador de AB. La siguiente imagen, de hecho, muestra una vista a pantalla completa con un control Input Text ocupando todo su ancho. ¿No es esto lo que necesitas?

Hello Tin,

Well... if you allow me, I want to say something. Certainly, the best is that we stay in some standard, for example, use icons or images, but not both things, if they can't be "joined" exactly in the way that we wanted.

The point is that we can use lot, lot of possible ways to do the things, so, for example, maybe we no need to be so far with an button: we can use an icon, a good label, maybe, or an image, if we wanted.

What's is the point here? The point is that doing the above we use an CSS that has been tested across lot of browsers and devices. We can change this CSS to suite our needs? Of course we can! However, we must take care about... because something that works in a browser, may don't work in another.

Said that, yes, certainly we can create new entire themes for App Builder, just by placing it in the right configuration folder. :-)
