New Message Indicator

Is there a way to create a new message indicator similar to the small red icon with a number in it that shows up when you have a new email or facebook message?

    yup, you should grab Kitchen sink from here: http://github.com/appcelerator/KitchenSink

    its a great resource for checking out how to do things

    if it doesn't build just create a new project and copy over the resources directory

    if you want it on the app icon

    you will want to look in examples/app_badge.js or if browsing on the iPhone go to phone > app badge

    Titanium.UI.iPhone.appBadge = 20;

    or if you want it on a tab

    you will want to look in examples/tabs.js or if browsing on the iphone go to Base UI > tabs

    var tab = Titanium.UI.currentTab;
tab.badge = 20;

    hope that helps

  • Yes, it is named appBadge

    http://developer.appcelerator.com/apidoc/mobile/latest/Titanium.UI.iPhone-module, at the end of the page.

    you have a demo in KitchenSink in app_badge.js
