Question

Close Window and Return to Home?

I've got a webview in a current window that I want to close and return to my apps.js "home" page but I cannot get it to work. Apps.js is in a parent (root) directory from where I currently am. Here's the code I'm currently working with. MUCH THANKS!

var win = Titanium.UI.currentWindow;

var webview = Titanium.UI.createWebView({url:'http://www.foo.com/About.html'});



var win = Titanium.UI.createWindow({title:

'About', barColor: '#4b4b4b'});
win.add(webview);
win.open({modal:true});

var close = Titanium.UI.createButton({
    title:'close',
    width:200,
    height:40,
    top:60
});
win.add(close);
close.addEventListener('click', function()
{
    win.close();
});
win.open({url:'apps.js'});

Answer 1

close.addEventListener('click', function()
{
win.close();
});
win.open({url:'apps.js'});

Change to…
close.addEventListener('click', function()
{
win.remove(webview);
});

You must not be using the latest 1.1.2

Remove did cause a crash in older versions

I don't think you should try to open different windows from one window object simultaneously.

Try this:

var win = Titanium.UI.createWindow({
    title:'About',
    barColor: '#4b4b4b'
});

var webview = Titanium.UI.createWebView({
    url:'http://www.foo.com/About.html'
});
win.add(webview);

var close = Titanium.UI.createButton({
    title:'close',
    width:200,
    height:40,
    top:60
});
win.add(close);

close.addEventListener('click', function()
{
    win.close();
});

win.open({modal:true});

// Why do you need to open this next window?
// If it's meant to appear 'below' the modal window,
// consider opening this window first.

var win2 = Ti.UI.createWindow({url:'../apps.js'});
win2.open;

(I assume you're not using tabs - that would require Ti.UI.currentTab.open(win2).)
