  • Samuele, personally I would use the native views rather than a webview, to make best use of Titanium. You can certainly display remote images, as image_view_remote.js and photo_gallery_xhr.js from the KitchenSink demonstrate. There are a couple more examples there that may also be of use to you.

  • If you want to use Titanium to it's full potential, I would grab all the images in a loop and add them to Views and then add those views to a scrollableView. I have a Image Gallery on one of my apps and this is how I do it. Works like a charm :)

  • Try the open-source gallery at Codeboxed.

  • Too bad the codeboxed module can't handle distant images… I wish i could work with urls in this module…

    • In the original code, a label with a background image is created to display the thumbs. I thought labels probably don't accept remote images as background, so I simply changed the Ti.UI.createLabel() into Ti.UI.createImageView() around line 315 in the original file.

      sorry for the late answer
