Global app variable with dynamic properties

You must Login before you can answer or comment on any questions.

I have a Map View on 3 different windows. They all use the same script to create and display the map. The problem is that they are all using the same App variable Ti.App.mapview.

I've been trying to create something like Ti.App.mapview.thisWindow (thisWindow being a string passed to distinguish the window) and getting them seperated out.

Is there an easy way to do this?

  • function Map(thistype){
    var mapWindow = Ti.UI.createWindow({
        backgroundColor:'black',
        zIndex:2
    });
    Ti.App.mapview[thistype] = Ti.Map.createView({mapType: Ti.Map.STANDARD_TYPE,region: {latitude:33.74511, longitude:-84.38993, latitudeDelta:8, longitudeDelta:8},regionFit:true,animate:true});
    mapWindow.add(Ti.App.mapview);
    return mapWindow;
    Say I have a function like this, I want the MapView App var to be generated with the "thistype" variable

You're going to want to read the MapView docs before you go down this path. Android only supports one mapview.
