Question

close modal window and show results

Hi All

struggling again and sorry if this is simple. I have a function which when the phone is shaked a dialog window pops up. If selected OK it opens a modal window with a mapview and the all right pins show.

I now want to click the rightbutton and display the details in a new window. I have the eventlistener working with the right button and im tracing the anotation id which is also working.

mapview.addEventListener('click',function(evt)
{
    var annotation = evt.annotation;
    var clickSource = evt.clicksource;
    var myid = evt.annotation.myid;

    if (evt.clicksource == 'rightButton')
    {

    Titanium.API.info(myid);
    var win = Titanium.UI.createWindow({barColor:'#001336',url:'business_details_template.js',id: myid}); 
                win.bid = id;
    }

});

What i want to do is slide a new window from the right whilst in the modal window? is this possible?

Thanks in advanced

Hey Mark,

Pretty sure that's not possible in a modal. You might be able to work around it by something similar to what Kosso suggested here:

Answer 2

Hi Dan

Thanks for the response. Have tried it and having played with it and done some mental models/user journeies, im thinking about another way to present this. So I now like the idea that the modal window close on rightbutton click and the new window is underneath populated.

This is working except when i close the modal window with new window is there and populated for a split second and then disappears.

var tw = Titanium.UI.createWindow({barColor:'#001336',url:'temp_business_details.js',id:myid}); 

tw.open();
Titanium.UI.currentWindow.close();

How do I get the new window created to stay once the modal window has gone?

thanks in advance

Hey Mark,

Are you able to post more of your code? Curious to see how exactly you're opening things, then I'll let you know if I can think of anything for you.

Hi Dan

sorry for my late response. On holiday with the wife and kids and only get small slots of time :)


mapview.addEventListener('click',function(evt)
{
    // map event properties 
    var annotation = evt.annotation;
    var title = evt.title;
    var clickSource = evt.clicksource;

    // custom annotation attribute
    var myid = evt.annotation.myid;


    if (evt.clicksource == 'rightButton')
    {
            Titanium.API.info(myid);
            var tw = Titanium.UI.createWindow({backgroundImage:'../images/background.png',barColor:'#001336',url:'temp_business_details.js',id:myid}); 
            tw.open();
            Titanium.UI.currentWindow.close();
    }    
});

any thoughts welcome. Hope its not school boy error stuff..

thanks
