Hi Wonder if someone can help me, I am trying to create a basic structure of an app that will have one home screen/view with 9 buttons on then each button will open a subsection or new window with various subsections, id like to use a modal view for each section/button and table views for drilling down.
Is this possible?
As Im struggling at the moment with understanding the structure;
initial window - 9 buttons
each button will open a new modal window over the initial window and a close button to close the modal window to return to the first window, is this correct?
Im having problems in getting sub content to open in the modal window

IOS sorry
I can get a table view to open in the initial modal window but not any other sub pages
1) create the mainWindow, 2) create and add 9 buttons to mainWindow 3) for all 9 views, create separate js files 4) In the button click event handler, create window as a modal window, and open it as below.
(i)app.js
var button1 = Ti.UI.createButton ({title:'option 1', top:10, height:40}); button1.addEventListener('click', function(e){ var win1 = Ti.UI.createWindow(url:'win1.js', fullScreen:false); win1.open(); }); Ti.UI.currentWindow.add(button1); var button2 = Ti.UI.createButton ({title:'option 2', top:60, height:40}); button2.addEventListener('click', function(e){ var win2 = Ti.UI.createWindow(url:'win2.js', fullScreen:false); win2.open(); }); Ti.UI.currentWindow.add(button2);(ii)win1.js
var lbl = Ti.UI.createLabel({text:'window1', top:10, height: 40}); Ti.UI.currentWindow.add(lbl); var btn = Ti.UI.createButton({title:'close window', top: 100, height:40}); btn.addEventListener('click', function(e){ Ti.UI.currentWindow.close(); }); Ti.UI.currentWindow.add(btn);
(iii)win2.js
var lbl = Ti.UI.createLabel({text:'window2', top:10, height: 40}); Ti.UI.currentWindow.add(lbl); var btn = Ti.UI.createButton({title:'close window', top: 100, height:40}); btn.addEventListener('click', function(e){ Ti.UI.currentWindow.close(); }); Ti.UI.currentWindow.add(btn);
Thanks for the example, but what I'm having trouble doing is opening a tableview and subcontexts in a modal window, for example, from a button I want to open a modal view which opens a .js file that is a table view, and then another and another etc..
I hope the below code answers your question. you should also create a js for each row (like lists.js, search.js, etc as in the below example). Also let me know is this what you were asking for.
(ii)win1.js
var lbl = Ti.UI.createLabel({text:'window1', top:10, height: 40}); Ti.UI.currentWindow.add(lbl); var btn = Ti.UI.createButton({title:'close window', top: 100, height:40}); btn.addEventListener('click', function(e){ Ti.UI.currentWindow.close(); }); Ti.UI.currentWindow.add(btn); var table = Ti.UI.createTableView({ top: 150, borderWidth: 2, separatorColor: '#000' }); var tableRows = [ { id: 1, color:'#000', title: "Navigator Filters", hasChild: true, myPage: 'navigatorFilters.js' }, {id: 2, color: '#000', title: "Lists", hasChild: true, myPage: 'lists.js' }, {id: 3, color: '#000', title: "Search", hasChild: true, myPage: 'search.js' }, {id: 4, color: '#000', title: "Add Company", myPage: 'dummyPage.js' }, { id: 5, color: '#000', title: "Add Individual", myPage: 'dummyPage.js'}]; table.data = tableRows; table.addEventListener('click', function(e) { var window5 = Ti.UI.createWindow({ url: e.row.myPage, title: e.row.title, fullscreen: false, navBarHidden: true, backgroundColor: '#fff' }); window5.open(); }); Ti.UI.currentWindow.add(table);
