[REBORN !] TableView Extension Versions 3&4 (pre nb191) and 5 by @Ken

[Leonardo_Ucciardello]

I use 2 istances of TableViewV4 with the columns widths function, timer etc. but this is my problem:

The data are very variable in lenght so i asked for fit to the max lenght between values and header.

My Blocks:

[TIMAI2]

You may need to untick Stretch to fit AND Shrink to fit on both tableviews

Before

After

To get them to scroll horizontally together, place the two arrangements in a vertical arrangement, then place that vertical arrangement in a horizontal scrolling arrangement

[Leonardo_Ucciardello]

I just tried all possible combinations between the two tables but nothing changed.

[TIMAI2]

Try this
TableviewWidths (1).aia (24.2 KB)

[Leonardo_Ucciardello]

It truncate the value if longer then the headers.
TableviewWidths (1).aia (24.3 KB)

Alternatively (as previously posted here)

[FREE] TableViewer - fully style customized to show table data

I have make another version of TableViewer, it's a package of Webviewer and Javascript and CSS. so you can set up the style as you wish, if you know some CSS knowledge. v8 UPDATE add event OnShowTable, fired after ShowTable is called. v7 UPDATE add property TransparentBackground, designer only. V6 UPDATE SetStyleSheet now can accept url to an external css file. add SetClass block, which can set class to a tag or id selector add ClearStyle block, which can clear all styles, including the …

i tried it but it has too many blocks to manage and in my apk there are 14 tables to manage (28 tableview instances).
I propose a V5

in any case, thank you so much

[TIMAI2]

Possibly: one table, fourteen datasets?

@Leonardo_Ucciardello

14 tables to manage (28 tableview instances).

Follow the dry principle

Don't repeat yourself

As @TIMAI2 already suggested

@TIMAI2

one table, fourteen datasets

Where possible I used the same tableview. The app is a portable read-only version of the corporate ERP. There are 10 screens, 14 tableviews (28 with headers) and the datasets are 35 (MSSQL queries via PHP). but that wasn't the point...
I'm a mechanical engineer and I'm new to the world of programming. I have read many forums and followed all your advice (thanks for your wisdom and I apologize for my ignorance).
Surely there will be a better way to do what I did. Sorry for that!

This is one screen blocks with many queries and 1 tableview.

And this is 1 screen with 5 tableviews.

[TIMAI2]

Try this, using Tableviewer extension.
TVTemplate.aia (18.2 KB)

These should be all the blocks you need....

[Leonardo_Ucciardello]

The behavior is exactly what I was looking for. now I have to figure out how to lock the header at the top and how to select the rows (I saw that you can also select single cells). I'll work on it now. Thank you very much

In any case, the proposal for Ken to make version 5 is still valid.

1. Flag to block headers on top directly in settings
2. adapt the width of the columns to the longest string between values and headers (perhaps already included in the first one)
3. possibility of highlighting the single cell

• Flag to block headers on top directly in settings
• adapt the width of the columns to the longest string between values and headers (perhaps already included in the first one)
• possibility of highlighting the single cell

all can be done by tableviewer.

@Leonardo_Ucciardello

how to lock the header at the top

This is already in the blocks I provided

[Leonardo_Ucciardello]

Awesome Thank you

You might be better off using YAML for your table displays.

Se

Browse Google Sheets in YAML format

This tutorial is meant to show an alternative way to display wide table data in portrait mode. It uses YAML. YAML is a data serialization language that is often used for writing configuration files. Depending on whom you ask, YAML stands for yet another markup language or YAML ain't markup language (a recursive acronym), which emphasizes that YAML is for data, not documents. This tutorial is browse-oriented, and centers around a value procedure that can take a table (row of rows) with a heade…

I've read it but my problem is not the data, I use MSSQL queries through PHP and it's super fast even with a huge amount of data like that of an ERP. The problem is simply the display of this data, indeed simply the formatting of the table. thanks anyway for the advice, now I know one more thing.

@Leonardo_Ucciardello

I use MSSQL queries through PHP

Could you please share how to connect App Inventor with a MSSQL database? Which blocks do you use? How does your php script look like? You could use the following thread for that

How do I connect MSSql Server?

If I want to use App Inventor App connect MSSQL ,how to I do?

Thank you in advance

I have a problem with the TableView v4 extension.

Is there a solution for this?

Runtime error:

Note: You will not see another error reported for 5 seconds.

Are you attempting to change the font ?

There is no option for this, other than the built-in fonts

Is this related to your other problem with companion and emulator ?
