Question

Trying to link to URLs from a createButtonBar

Hello
I am trying to create links from buttons in a "createButtonBar" to different views . . . I am stuck.

here is code:

//
// TOOLBAR
// 
var bb2 = Titanium.UI.createButtonBar({
    labels:['Current Temps', 'Doppler', 'Satellite'],
    backgroundColor:'#333333',
    BarColor:'#000000',
    index:0
});
var flexSpace = Titanium.UI.createButton({
    systemButton:Titanium.UI.iPhone.SystemButton.FLEXIBLE_SPACE
});

win.setToolbar([flexSpace,bb2,flexSpace]);

bb2.addEventListener('click',function(e) 
{
    // handle tableview click events
    var idx = e.index;
    switch(idx)
    {
        case 0:Titanium.UI.createView({url:'Current.js',})
        case 1:Titanium.UI.createView({url:'satellite.js',})
        case 2:Titanium.UI.createView({url:'doppler.js',})

    }       
});

Thanks

Answer 1

you are just creating views. what do you want to do with them? the code above just creates them but does not do anything with them.

Thanks for your help . . . I am looking into buying "Titanium Professional Support" for the year.

I am trying to click on a buttonbar button and refresh the view with another view . . . in this case another image view . . . below is code that I am currently working on . . .

var win = Titanium.UI.currentWindow

Titanium.UI.currentWindow.setBarColor('#000');

var imageView = Titanium.UI.createImageView({
url:'http://www.wusa9.com/weather/currents/7day.jpg',
top:5,
width:420,
height:236
});

win.add(imageView);

var l = Titanium.UI.createLabel({
text:'WUSA9 7 Day Forecast',
bottom:30,
color:'#999',
height:20,
width:300,
textAlign:'center'
});
win.add(l);

//
// TOOLBAR
//
var bb2 = Titanium.UI.createButtonBar({
labels:['Current Temps', 'Doppler', 'Satellite'],
backgroundColor:'#333333',
BarColor:'#000000',
index:0
});
var flexSpace = Titanium.UI.createButton({
systemButton:Titanium.UI.iPhone.SystemButton.FLEXIBLE_SPACE
});

win.setToolbar([flexSpace,bb2,flexSpace]);

var state = 0;
bb2.addEventListener('click', function(e)
{
var idx = e.index;
switch(idx)
{
case 0:
{
Titanium.UI.createView({url:'Current.js'})
Titanium.UI.currentTab.open(win,{animated:true})
}

    case 1:
    {
        Titanium.UI.createView({url:'doppler.js'})
        Titanium.UI.currentTab.open(win,{animated:true})
    }

    case 2:
    {
        Titanium.UI.createView({url:'satellight.js'})
        Titanium.UI.currentTab.open(win,{animated:true})
    }


}

});

Thanks in advance. I am hoping to have funds for "Titanium Professional" soon . . .
