• Hi Sam,

  Whilst it may be a little frustrating to navigate this forum it does keep the Titanium community in one place. I've used other forums where users have decided to create their own offshoot … it becomes even more frustrating because now there are more places to look for answers.

  Whilst the idea of a separate forum may at first seem a good idea (I'd considered it myself), it will only serve to split the community and make it even more difficult for users of Titanium to get the answers they are looking for.

  The guys at Appcelerator are very unlikely to have the time to provide support on anything other than their own forum. And personally, I wouldn't expect them to. They have worked hard to get where they are now to bring the Titanium platform to us, to build their own community of users and provide answers on this forum.

  Cheers

• Quite frankly, except for the different categories i don't think that's a big improvement. I personally would prefer a classic phpbb based forum. Like this one: http://wxforum.shadonet.com

  @Mark: I haven't seen much help from the Titanium guys here, at least all problems i have (and quite a few more people) are still unsolved/unanswered. They obviously try to get more people into premium support…

• There are a lot of unanswered questions agreed, but the issues that I have had, mainly around support for XML have been identified by the developers on this forum and then resolved. So from my point of view this forum has been an effective means of communicating them to other users and the developers.
  What technology drives this forum? Can it be used in other ways/other features that can be suggested to Appcelerator that will make things better?

• I'd be puzzled to hear of a negative response to more sites springing-up around the web, spreading the word about Titanium. In the grander-scheme it's a sign of success and would, I believe act as a means of drawing more new developers to appcelerator.com to find out more.

  To me, It'd be sign of a maturing community and an inevitable consequence of things taking-off.

  Certainly, there should be no sign at all of such things being taken as a sign of ingratitude.

  Cheers,
  Chris.

• Can you add a fireEvent "tick" for animate in UI View?
  If we have a event, we can use for implement command for every loop tick.
  Example move ui and reduce alpha at same time.

• var lat = '';
  var lon = '';
  Ti.Geolocation.purpose = "Recieve User Location";
  if(Titanium.Network.networkType == Titanium.Network.NETWORK_NONE){
  var alertDialog = Titanium.UI.createAlertDialog({
  title: 'Connection Error!',
  message: 'Check Your Network Connection.',
  buttonNames: ['OK']
  });
  alertDialog.show();
  }

  if(Titanium.Network.networkType != Titanium.Network.NETWORK_NONE){
  var win = Titanium.UI.createWindow({
  title:'Your Location',
  BackgroundColor:'#fff'
  });

  Titanium.Geolocation.getCurrentPosition(function(e) {
  if (e.error) {
  Ti.API.log('error: ' + JSON.stringify(e.error) );
  return;
  }
  Ti.API.debug(JSON.stringify(e));
  alert(JSON.stringify(e));
  lon = e.coords.longitude;
  lat = e.coords.latitude;

  });

  var mapview = Titanium.Map.createView({
  mapType: Titanium.Map.STANDARD_TYPE,
  region: {latitude:lat, longitude:lon, latitudeDelta:0.5, longitudeDelta:0.5},
  animate:true,
  regionFit:true,
  userLocation:true
  });

  win.add(mapview);
  win.open();
  }

  When I try to run this code on android emulator it shows me following error…..

  please help me….

• We need to develop an application for blackberry that runs as a background service. It's possible?

• Error android - Alloy.Collections.todo.fetch()
  Ei, estou usando o método fetch do collections, para IOS (Iphone) funciona perfeitamente, mas se rodar para android exibe mensagem de erro inesperado. Alguém sabe me dizer porque ou qual a solução?

• Hi

  I am developing in Alloy and I got stuck with some issues when dynamically adding new rows to existing XML table.

  The following is my code:

  Controller

  var db = require('Database');
  
  db.connect();
  var providers = db.select({
      table: 'providers',
      fields: '*',
  });
  db.close();
  
  $.providerList.open();
  
  var row = [];
  var label = [];
  for(var i in providers.values)
  {
      label[i] = Ti.UI.createLabel({
          text: providers.values[i][1]
      })
      row[i] = Ti.UI.createTableViewRow({
          className: 'providerCell',
          text: providers.values[i][1],
      });
  
      row[i].add(label[i]);
      $.providerTable.appendRow(row[i]);
  }
  

  View

  <Alloy>
      <Window class="window">
          <ScrollView title="Provider List" id="providerListContainer" class="list provider scrollView">
              <TableView id="providerTable">
                      <HeaderView>
                          <Label>Table Header</Label>
                      </HeaderView>
                      <TableViewRow>
                          <Label>ladida</Label>
                      </TableViewRow>
              </TableView>
          </ScrollView>
      </Window>
  </Alloy>
  

  Style

  'TableViewRow': {
      backgroundColor: 'red',
      color: '#333',
      height: 52,
  },
  
  ".providerCell": {
      backgroundColor: 'blue',
  }
  

  The styling is working perfectly on the XML based row but not with Ti.UI.createTableViewRow

• I am truly sorry that was a mistake posting this here.

• 

• Hello everyone! am new to titanium
  I installed this:npm install mcrypt
  and I put this code in alloy.js

  var mcrypt = require('mcrypt');
  
  var algos = mcrypt.getAlgorithmNames();
  console.log(algos);
  

  I get an error 404, says that the library does not exist (mcrypt.js)
  However, I have created an application nodejs external titanium and everything works fine.
  why can not I use library node in titanium?
  Thanks.

• sorry, I was wrong to post here my question

• You can use this : https://code.google.com/p/js-mcrypt/source/browse/trunk/mcrypt.js

• hello, I tried that script, but it gave me different results from php

• this should be the right order. you work?

• thank you, I solved.
  in this link it says how to solve in practice was too short the key

  http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18786025/mcrypt-js-encryption-value-is-different-than-that-produced-by-php-mcrypt-mcryp

• hello good morning to all 'm creating my first database and I get error, and not what they could be doing wrong and anyone knows could help me correct my mistake please thank you for your help
