A Dropbox-like app possible?
Hi,
is it somehow possible to display standard document formats besides pictures with Titanium? Like the Dropbox app does? I could not find anything in the API, so I fear the worst.
My intention is to pimp our iPhone app with some file browsing functionality. For example to preview a downloaded PDF file or a Numbers file. Apple Mail is able to do that and maybe it uses the same iPhone SDK core stuff like Titanium does?
I mean, camera, picture and video stuff is already awesome with Titanium, but what about other file formats?

You just open the document(s) in webview. I think that's how Dropbox does it but I could be wrong.

in theory you should indeed be able to open every file that is supported within in a webview on iPhone, however i found that if you plan to port it to android some file-types might not be available there (SVG for an example)

Dropbox has an API - https://www.dropbox.com/developers - I'm currently banging my head against the wall trying to figure out oAuth ;)
If this is what you're needing I'd love to share info on it!

Hi there, can somebody can share to me their ideas working with dropbox api. I'm thinking to used the dropbox login facility, then login as a dropbox user, then read those shared folders belonging to me. Thanks in advance for the help.
