OnClick method for Dynamic Label

[hammerhai (Nathan)]

@ExtensionDevelopers whoever can do this, since I don’t have time to… just compile and leave the AIX in this topic.

@SimpleFunction(description = " ")

    return component.getView().getId();

Note: I don’t know about extension developement, so if any changes are to be made then guide me.

You have removed all code of editor

Here is my one

But ken won

Thank you so much for the code. But I guess, we still don’t have a method for whenAnyDynamicLabel.Click() also I may be wrong but whenAnyLabel.Click() won’t give you component for a click on Dynamic Label. Please let me know if I’m wrong with a suitable block, if possible.

Also thanks to @Ken and @Vedang for the quick compilation of the give code but while using the extensions following error is generated. If any further help could be provided that would be great although I did my work using Dynamic Button but since this could be a useful feature for future.

[hammerhai (Nathan)]

I thought you wanted the label to be clicked? Here you use the Dynamic Button however it likely will reproduce the same issue

Let me take a look into the issue in the next few minutes and I will get back to you.

[hakerarena (Sachin Sarkar)]

Yes! I wanted the label to be clicked. But couldn’t found whenAnyDynamicLabel.Click() Therefore just for the testing the extension, I used the Dynamic Buttons. Also as you said the error would be same in both case. Also try adding a whenAnyDynamicLabel.Click() so that we can test the above extensions on a Dynamic Label.

[hammerhai (Nathan)]

No need to test since the dynamic label is composed of MakeroidDynamicLabel like MakeroidDynamicButton :) What I’m doing now is creating my own dynamic label and button extension, they will both contain the method you need.

@yusufcihan I know what you going to do, mention your extension (:

[yusufcihan]

I don’t like self-promotion but you should use my extension for that. So you won’t need to deal with using extension over a Dynamic Label component.

[F/OS] - Dynamic Components Extension (for every component) 2.2.2

Dynamic Components Extension that supports every component in your AI2 distribution, instead of having pre-defined components. I thought about making a full method to create all dynamic components without creating different blocks for every component because it would be useless. So I was trying to find a proper solution for a long time. And here it is! The minimum required API version for this extension is 1 . It basically uses Java’s Reflection feature, so this allows you to create…

So you can create dynamic Labels along with other all components and use Any Component blocks if you want to set its properties and catch the events.

@hammerhai

@yusufcihan I know what you going to do, mention your extension (:

If you have a better option, go for it. I just provided an another way (and easier maybe? ).

[hammerhai (Nathan)]

Nooooooo, you were typing and then it reminded me of your extension

[hakerarena (Sachin Sarkar)]

That is an awesome extension @yusufcihan Thank you everyone for your time guys. I’m leaving an example blocks below (for future reference) which Dynamically creates Labels and changes size and text when a Button is clicked.

[yusufcihan]

Thank you By the way, I recommend using SetProperty block only when there is no Any Component block for the property. Because it is currently causing a problem on < Android 7 (currently fixed / waiting for next release).

[hakerarena (Sachin Sarkar)]

Ok I’ll keep that in mind! Thanks

@WatermelonIce

If you need to the you have to use the extension by @yusufcihan

Actually I have suggested already.

[hakerarena (Sachin Sarkar)]

Yup I know! But that time I wasn’t able to understand the use of the extension. Thanks btw
