• "In fact that window with my scrollView is opened 'from' a tableView list of 'stuff'"

  exactly how i'm doing it too.
  well instead of waiting for 1.3 to allow for tableViewRow's to let someone load a youtube video from inside of the row itself, i just created a scrollView and essentially mimicked a tableView with the information i had. and what do ya know, it works just fine :)

  thanks again for your help, it's awesome that you got back to me. the last few questions i asked a solution hadn't been found ( or even worse, nothing had been suggested at all!) and it feels good to have a solution here :)

• Looks like events from tables are coming soon in 1.3

• I have a feeling they're working on this at the moment. (having seen a recent commit to the source code)

  I need something like this too - but not with a yt embed. ;)

• hey kosso & george,
  thanks for taking the time to answer, i really appreciate it.

  until 1.3 comes out, any suggestions on how to go about loading a youtube video on tap/click of a specific row?

  my next though/ option is to get rid of the row's altogether and just create a scrollView with the same layout i have already, but not in a tableView.
  thoughts?

• Hi,
  It all depends on your needs. (and/or patience ;) )

  If you really don't need a tableView, then I would suggest using a scrollView anyway. (That's what i use for YouTube videos and a host of other media types and sources)

  In fact that window with my scrollView is opened 'from' a tableView list of 'stuff' ;)

• I would recommend against using webviews inside table view rows. Web views are the most expensive component we have in terms of system resources, and placing many of them in a table view might not be the best idea. Maybe it would be worth backing up a bit and trying to achieve your desired layout using native components.

• thanks for the tip about webviews kevin, didn't know they were that taxing.

  any suggestions for integrating youtube video playback using native components while keeping the user inside my app?

• i guess a solution would be to have a thumbnail image loaded and then when clicked it would play the youtube video… how would i go about adding that action on a 'clicked' event?

  thanks!

• But is there a way to make it clickable? I want to insert a ad-banner (Javascript in a WebView) into my table at some positions, and this one should expand after a click.

• Very late, but I figured out a way to get links inside a webView which is inside a tableView to work.

  First capture the click event on the webView and fire an event which includes the x/y position of where the user clicked.

  webview.addEventListener('click', function(e) {
      Ti.App.fireEvent('webViewClick', {
          x: e.x,
          y: e.y
      });
  }
  

  Then in your webview, listen for the event and use a little known (or at least to me) JS feature, elementFromPoint(x,y) to select the DOM element from an X/Y, and then synthesize the click event.

  Ti.App.addEventListener('webViewClick', function(e) {
      $(document.elementFromPoint(e.x, e.y)).click();
  }
  

  That uses jQuery, but could be done in pure JS if you are so inclined. Here's some more info about document.elementFromPoint(x,y).
