Single Context Apps, Adding Views - Alloy

Hi guys,

Might sound like a broad subject, but it's really just one focus area. I have downloaded the - Codestrong Alloy app from GITHUB from here: https://github.com/appcelerator/Codestrong, and noticed it uses a drawer file to append new views to the page, somewhat like this:

Ti.App.fireEvent('app:open.drawer', {
    controller:'myPage'
});

Now the 'controller' refers to myPage.xml - And this opens fine.

How Can i however close the drawer from myPage.js? Currently the only way to close it us using the close method within the drawer.js file itself.

Thanks in advance

you need to fire the 'app:close.drawer' event for close the drawer:

with your case, just pass your controller name in it is ok:

Ti.App.fireEvent('app:close.drawer', {
            controller:'myPage'
        });

you can find the releate source code in header.js
