Mendix Native Segmented Progress Bar

AppStoreIcon

Show a segmented progressbar in your Mendix Native Mobile app.

Special thanks to Kshitij Karandikar (Github) for providing the initial idea & version!

Features

  • Show a segmented progressbar with multiple segments
  • Render your progress bar horizontal or vertical
  • Can use a JSON String or Object List as Datasource
  • Styling can be customized by using standard Mendix Native Styling
  • On Click events for a segment

Usage

Data

Scenario 1 : JSON

  • Use the JSON Source String to show a progress bar. This has to be a proper JSON array, where objects contain the following key-values:
[
    {
        "value": 10         // this is the numeric value, used to determine the size (the widget calculates the total value and sizes accordingly)
        "color": "#FF0000"  // HEX Color
        "sortOrder": 0      // Determine the sorting
    },
...
]

Scenario 2 : Objects

  • Define the dataSource of objects (for example from the Database)
  • Value & Color are both mandatory
  • Sort is optional. If you do not define this, it will use the order set by the dataSource

Events

  • When using Scenario 2 (Objects), you can define an onClick Action for a segment. The mendix object will be passed on as an input parameter.

UI

  • You can set the rendering of the progress bar to either horizontal or vertical.

Styling

Styling is done in normal Mendix Native Styling procedures.

Class: com_mendixlabs_widget_native_segmentedprogressbar_SegmentedProgressBar

Default styling:

export const com_mendixlabs_widget_native_segmentedprogressbar_SegmentedProgressBar = {
    // ViewStyle properties for direction = "horizontal"
    container: {
        flexDirection: "row",   // We need this to render the bars horizontally
        width: "100%"           // We set the width to the maximum of the container
    },
    containerVertical: {
        flexDirection: "column",// We need this to render the bars vertically
        height: "100%"          // We set the height to the maximum of the container
    },
    item: {                     // ViewStyle properties that control all segments
        height: 20,             // Height of the progressbar (direction = "horizontal")
        width: 20,              // Width of the progressbar (direction = "vertical")
        borderRadius: 20        // Borderradius of first and last item
    },
    firstItem: {},              // ViewStyle properties for first segment (left when "horizontal", top when "vertical")
    lastItem: {},               // ViewStyle properties for last segment (right when "horizontal", bottom when "vertical")
    middleItem: {}              // ViewStyle properties for middle segments
};
