B4A Library Arc Menu [Class] + [Lib]

Arc Menu:

Here is a nice little animated menu known as Arc Menu. It is based on a native java android library ArcMenu Java Lib. I initially tried to wrap the java library, but my skills weren't up to the job on the day, so I decided to create my own incarnation in b4a code as a class. It is very customizable and I think it adds a nice effect to any User Interface. This should be nice and easy to use. The only methods that are required are the Initialize and at least 1 x AddItem (whats a menu without any menu items)

Documentation:

ArcMenu
Version: 1

• Methods:
  • IsInitialized As Boolean
    Tests whether the object has been initialized.
    
  • _additem (ItemImage As BitmapWrapper) As String
    Adds an item to the menu.
    ItemImage - the image shown as the MenuItem
    
  • _initialize (Activity As ActivityWrapper, Module As Object, EventName As String, AnimatedButtonImage As BitmapWrapper, StaticButtonImage As BitmapWrapper, x As Int, y As Int) As String
    Initializes the object.
    
    Parameters:
    Activity - The activity to add the OrbitalMenu to. Use 'Activity' to pass the current activity.
    Module - Use 'Me'
    EventName - The EventName to be use for callbacks.
    _AnimationEnd(Open as Boolean) - this event triggers once the menu has finished expanding or collapsing.
    Open - will return whether the menu is open or not.
    _Click(Position as Int)
    _LongClick(Position as Int)
    Position - returns the Item Position that triggered the event. First Item = 1.
    StaticButtonImage - A static background for the menu button. Use NULL for no image.
    AnimatedButtonImage - A bitmap that will show in front of the StaticBackgroundImage and will rotate 90 degrees when pressed. Use NULL for no image.
    x, y - The coordinates for where the button will appear.
    
  • _isopen As Boolean
    
  • _setanimatedbuttondimensions (width As Int, height As Int) As String
    Use to override the dimensions of the AnimatedButtonImage
    Defaults are 20dip x 20dip
    
  • _setdegreespan (value As Int) As String
    Sets the amount of degrees the MenuItems Orbit will span from the starting point.
    Default is 90
    
  • _setmenuitemdimensions (width As Int, height As Int) As String
    NOTE: Must be called before Adding and items to the menu.
    Use to override the dimensions of the menu items.
    Defaults are 40dip x 40dip
    
  • _setmenuitemradius (value As Int) As String
    Use to set the Menu item radius (the distance the items pop out from center)
    Default is 120dip
    
  • _setstartdegrees (value As Int) As String
    Sets the angle the MenuItems Orbit will start at.
    Default is 0 (straight up.)
    
  • _setstaticbuttondimensions (width As Int, height As Int) As String
    Use to override the dimensions of the StaticButtonImage
    Defaults are 20dip x 20dip
    
  • _toggle As String
    Simulates a Click of the menu Button

Below I have added both the class (in a demo project) AND the library, both have the same functionality. I added both so you as the user can choose which to use. The library is the easiest to use, just install as any other library. The class is there if you wish to view / edit the code. This is my first attempt at animations, so hopefully others could learn from it too. Enjoy!

Note: This does require the Animation Plus v2 library to be installed too.

Smooth. Stunning animation efect.
Thankyou

 

[Informatix]

Would you mind posting a link. It's not coming up readily on a google search using "animationplus 2.0 b4a", just the prior version.

Thanks.

With these search criteria, it's the first link returned by Google...
But as NJDude suggested, this forum is a better place for a search.

Got it, I was confused by your statement in the discussion regarding Arc Menu that you had pulled version 2 from this site so I was trying to find it elsewhere.

 

[Mashiane]

This is stunning! I would however like to have the arcmenu inside a panel which will be part of an activity with other controls. How can I archieve that please?

Please help!

 

[barx]

Can you post your code relating to the menu please...

 

[microbox]

Hi barx, thank you for this.. and also to Infomatix. I'm planning to use it in my app if it's okay?

That is what it is there for

 

[Bitcrawler]

Hi barx, this is great. I love it.

But I have a little problem ;-)

I use the PreferenceActivity to change the SetStartDegrees. On FirstRun SetStartDegrees(270). This works. I change it in Preferences to SetStartDegrees(90). When I open the Arc Menu it shows up correct, but it seems like the position counter has not updated. The menu icons have the right positition, but the wrong position id.

When I restart the app, it works correct. But it would be nice to do this on runtime.


Example: After changing SetStartDegrees from 270 to 90

Sub ArcMenu_Click(position As Int)
    If position = 1 Then Flashlight_Click (positon = 5 after changing to 90)
    If position = 2 Then Compass_Click (positon = 4 after changing to 90)
    If position = 3 Then ScreenLight_Click (positon = 3 after changing to 90)
    If position = 4 Then Preference (positon = 2 after changing to 90)
    If position = 5 Then StartActivity ("infoact") (positon = 1 after changing to 90)
End Sub

Do you have a solution for this?

I didn't edit your source code in sample zip. But when I run I got error.

    If position = 5 Then StartActivity ("infoact") (positon = 1 after changing to 90)
End Sub

Do you have a solution for this?

I've had a flick through the code but cannot see anything that would cause this. Calling SetStartDegrees sets a private variable in the class and this is used in the calculations whenever the menu button is clicked.

manybe show your code from Preference activity that changes the StartDegree, see if I can spot something there. Or post a sample project showing the issue. Maybe I didn't understand the issue properly.

Thanks

Below I have added both the class (in a demo project) AND the library, both have the same functionality. I added both so you as the user can choose which to use. The library is the easiest to use, just install as any other library. The class is there if you wish to view / edit the code. This is my first attempt at animations, so hopefully others could learn from it too. Enjoy!

Note: This does require the Animation Plus v2 library to be installed too.

Please what is my error? I didn't change anycode. But I get this error.

Very very nice ! I can run it. No need to check arcmenu lib if it is arcmenu module . Right?

Arc Menu:

Here is a nice little animated menu known as Arc Menu. It is based on a native java android library ArcMenu Java Lib. I initially tried to wrap the java library, but my skills weren't up to the job on the day, so I decided to create my own incarnation in b4a code as a class. It is very customizable and I think it adds a nice effect to any User Interface. This should be nice and easy to use. The only methods that are required are the Initialize and at least 1 x AddItem (whats a menu without any menu items)

No need for both. The lib is for quick easy use. The class was for peoe to see how it was done and to allow modification if they wish. Please do not keep posting the same question like above. Next time I simply won't answer.
