Position relative to previous element
Hi all,
Is it possible to position an element relative to the previous one?
I have to labels, and there should be a 15px space between them, but the problem is, the length of the text in the first label can be anything from one line to 20 lines, so I can't set a fixed offset for the second label, and only have the 15px space between them.
Is there any workaround the handle this?
Kind Regards
Daniel

try adding
layout:'vertical' property to the window…
and for every element that you add just keep the "top:15" ……
Guess this should do the trick….

This type of solution worked for me:
var top = 0; var label1 = Ti.UI.createLabel({ text: 'text', height: 'auto', top: top + 15 }); top = label1.top + label1.height; var label2 = Ti.UI.createLabel({ text: 'text', height: 'auto', top: top + 15 }); top = label2.top + label2.height; //...

Actually Sattanaathan is right, but you can also set this property
layout:'vertical'
to view, and it's work for me as well. -
Best option I can think of is to use a view for each element with the end of the first of beginning of the second element have a 15px top, left, etc.. definition as needed. Add both of those views to another Scroll view with a vertical or horizontal layout defined. The ScrollView will automatically handle alignment of it's children (views) and then the elements in those views will be aligned with a 15px difference.
I hope that makes sense…
