Looks like you have more than one instance of DynamicComponents in the same screen, because I see âDynamicComponents2â. Every instance keeps their own list of the created components, so it is not shared. Make sure you selected the same instance in the Create block and the same instance in the IsDynamic block.
Also, when you update extensions, the extensionsâ internal code is also updated, so there wonât be an âold versionâ to use (if you donât downgrade manually) Extension updates are applied to the whole app/project, not a single instance or screen. You donât have to worry about updating extensions as long as there are no blocks or features removed.
We could make the list shared by making it static. Perhaps we could explore this as an option for the final release?
EDIT: Making something static with App Inventor actually causes that variable to be shared over multiple screens, not instances (if I remember correctly).
Iâm 50/50. If that happens, it may cause less confusion*, however it will make the instances totally pointless. And making the components list shared can be considered a breaking change (which Iâm not a fan of, especially when considering it will be the final release), as there is no restriction of using the same ID in different instances.
* I donât if âconfusionâ is the right word here. TinyDB uses shared data between other instances having the same namespace, but that behavior can be confusing either.
I can see how this is perceived as being bad, however, no screen should display the same data as another. It would be redundant. Identifiers are used to make something stand out, even when used with something similar!
Edit: Iâm not sure how you meant this, but to clarify my reason â the same identifier wouldnât be able to be used across the project.
This is more of a problem with how App Inventor named it. I remember first using AI2, and also being confused with the implementation of the component. The lack of explanation caused confusion, but if you describe a feature the right way, then that wonât be a problem.
Hi,
I am using this extension and it save a lot of work. Thanks for that.
I am working in an app that has a table that show a text box beside a label. I have two questions about that, because I am looking for the answers but I canât find it.
Above I send an image of my blocks and it works fine.
The questions are:
How I can get the value of the text boxes, after the information is entered.
I want the label and text box in separated each one in a column. How can I acomplish that?
Thanks in advance for your help.
The IDs are used for accessing the component later. If you use a randomly generated ID, you may have a hard time finding out which component belongs to which ID. Instead, for these type of the cases, I recommend setting a fixed ID, so you can know which TextBox you want to access.
Thanks for your help.
Iâve been looking for this block but I canât find it, since in âany componentâ section there is no TextBox item.
âIâm not sure if I understood it correctly, but you can create arrangements dynamically and put components in these dynamically created arrangements.â About this is what I am doing, but neather the labels or text boxes are aligned and there is no way to stablish a width for textboxes (donât appear in âany componentâ)
No question is foolish as long as it is asked in a good manner, it doesnât matter if you are just getting started or already have knowledge! I and other community members are always here to help!
I am struggling to get text (value) of a text box.What event I need to use for that? I already try with the dynamic_textbox (included into the design view) event âon text changedâ and it works fine but not with the extension.
After that I tried with any_text_box event âwhen any dynamic on text changedâ but neither of those events work.
Thanks for your help.
If you are trying to use blocks from âDynamic Componentsâ which is the built-in feature of Kodular, that wonât work with this extension, these two are completely different, and they store the created components separately. This extension only works with the components that created by the extension itself.
Instead, for events, you need to use âwhen anyâ events from âAny Componentâ category.
how to do you create the dynamic components? show us your procedure⊠also official language is english only else your post will be removed from communityâŠ
This shouldnât happen, make sure that you are using the latest version. If you are already using the latest version, can you try restarting the companion?
