Android and Dashboard View
Hello,
I've been getting a NullPointerException error when trying to initiate a dashboard view via the Android 2.2 API. This code works just fine on the iPhone emulator. Here is the code I have:
var labels = ['news','calendar','map','emergency'];
for (var c=0;c<labels.length;c++)
{
var item = Titanium.UI.createDashboardItem({
image:'images/dashboard/'+labels[c]+'_off.png',
selectedImage:'images/dashboard/'+labels[c]+'_on.png',
label:labels[c]
});
info.push(item);
}
var dashboard = Titanium.UI.createDashboardView({
data:info,
zindex: 2
});
Is there something that I'm not doing correctly that would be causing these errors? What works in android? Any help is appreciated.
Stefan

Any ETA of dashboard for android?

Based on the UI of this API Doc:
http://developer.appcelerator.com/apidoc/mobile/latest/Titanium.UI.DashboardView-objectDashboards are only available for iPhone.

DashboardView is only available for iPhone. So there won't be a Dashboard view for Android.
But that doesn't means you cannot create a DashboardView for Android. You can create your own Dashboard style view with javascript and some little development.

As others have said,
Ti.UI.DashboardViewonly works using the iOS platform.If you want to create a dashboard view for Android you'll have to roll your own. For a good start, check out Paul Dowsett's cross-platform grid layout sample code posted here. You can modify it pretty easily to have buttons by replacing the views and labels with imageViews.
