Hi, I´m a very beginner with Titanium and I haven´t found any good example for this yet.
I want to use one single window as root with a TableView which links to different TabGroups e.g. this could look like this:

Then I´d like to link TabGroups like Windows in the rows of this TableView. If you click on "Go to TabGroup 1" there sould be a slide effect and a TabGroup should appear:

My sample Code for this would look something like this for the root window:
app.js
Titanium.UI.setBackgroundColor('#000'); var main_window = Titanium.UI.createWindow({ title:'main window', backgroundColor:'#fff', }); var data = [ {title:'Go to TabGroup 1', hasChild:true, test:'TabGroup1.js'}, {title:'Go to TabGroup 2', hasChild:true, test:'TabGroup2.js'} ]; var tableview = Titanium.UI.createTableView({ data:data }); tableview.addEventListener('click', function(e) { if (e.rowData.test) { var tabgroup = Titanium.UI.createTabGroup({ title:e.rowData.title, url:e.rowData.test }); main_window.open(tabgroup,{animated:true}); } }); main_window.add(tableview); main_window.open();TabGroup1.js
var tabGroup = Titanium.UI.currentTabGroup(); var backButton = Ti.UI.createButton({title: 'Back'}); // add window, tab and label 1 var win1 = Titanium.UI.createWindow({ title:'Tab 1 of TabGroup 1', backgroundColor:'#fff', leftNavButton:backButton }); var tab1 = Titanium.UI.createTab({ icon:'KS_nav_views.png', title:'Tab 1', window:win1 }); var label1 = Titanium.UI.createLabel({ color:'#999', text:'I am Window 1', font:{fontSize:20,fontFamily:'Helvetica Neue'}, textAlign:'center', width:'auto' }); win1.add(label1); // add window, tab and label 2 var win2 = Titanium.UI.createWindow({ title:'Tab 2 of TabGroup 1', backgroundColor:'#fff', leftNavButton:backButton }); var tab2 = Titanium.UI.createTab({ icon:'KS_nav_ui.png', title:'Tab 2', window:win2 }); var label2 = Titanium.UI.createLabel({ color:'#999', text:'I am Window 2', font:{fontSize:20,fontFamily:'Helvetica Neue'}, textAlign:'center', width:'auto' }); win2.add(label2); tabGroup.addTab(tab1); tabGroup.addTab(tab2); tabGroup.setActiveTab(1); //win1.open();The whole Code
Any idea how this works? I´ve read somewhere that it´s not possible to have more than one TabGroup? This can´t be true right?
all the best and thx, Jakob :)

Yes, you can only have one TabGroup in android. And you can't alter the tabgroup once you create it. I think it might be possible to destroy the tabgroup and create another, but I haven't seen it done.
If cross-platform is a concern, you might need to consider other ways to handle this. More ideas in this thread
