Question

'Redirect' to another window?

So at the top of "app.js" i have a little utility js file of mine that checks Titanium.App.Properties to see if the user is logged in

if not then I open a window that points to "login_form.js"

once I hit the server using an Ajax call, if the user validates, I write the results to the App.Properties and then I want to reopen/redirect to "app.js" so that this time it sees the values and knows the user is logged in

I thought createWindow and opening it was the answer, but it opens the window inside the current (and as a result, doesn't "reload" my utility file)

I'd like to "clear the stack" of windows/views and pretty much execute app.js fresh

any pointers?

thanks in advance

Answer 1

Why don't you split the process in 2 parts:

if (not_logged_in) {  
    add view_login 
} 
else {
   remove( view_login);
   add  view_LOGGED_in
}

an you make all this in one window with 2 subviews - view_login and view_LOGGED_in, and of course the logic for this

Answer 2

That is kinda what I have already

app.js:

Load my utils.js (which checks Titanium.App.Properties for login info
If (LoggedIn)
– add tab & window for Reporting
Else
– add tab & window for Login Form (login.js)

login.js

Form for username and password
Verify information
if (valid)
– set Titanium.Apps.Properties values for login
– ???? how do i "reload" app.js ???
else
– give user a failed login message
