• The NavigationGroup is used when you need a stack of windows outside a TabGroup (say, a single window application). If you'd like to hide tabs but retain the forward/back navigation of that component, you might consider just hiding the tabs by calling window.open({fullscreen:true}). Or if you have additional information on what you're trying to accomplish UI wise, we can see if we can help…

• Hi, I'd like to know too this concept, particulary the:

  "The interaction I want to make is to have a tab that shows a list of items (got that already), and by clicking an item, open an editable detail page for it (got that, too). Because the detail page has numerous editable fields, I want to break up the detail page into multiple tabs (to avoid scrolling**, and so that the iphone keyboard doesn't overlay the editable fields)."

  Thank you so much!!!

• Add Button to Tab Group Toolbar/Navbar

  This may be an alternative. The code:

  var btnEdit = Ti.UI.createButton({
      systemButton: Ti.UI.iPhone.SystemButton.EDIT
  });
  btnEdit.addEventListener('click',function(e){
      // button was clicked
  });
  tabWin.rightNavButton = btnEdit;
  

  You can also add a left button by doing:

  tabWin.leftNavButton = btnEdit;
  

  Reading these two questions: one and two helped me figure this out.

  The buttons will then display like:

  

  Note that this works for iPhones, not just iPads (haven't tested on Android). All the button options are listed here. Also, note that you can do similar things with the icons on the tab bar using these button styles.
