Basic UI Features

As far as I can tell, Corona does not have:

-select box (or listview which is more the standard on mobile devices) *Corona has tableview as I found out while writing this post
-radio buttons
-checkboxes

These things are pretty basic and very important for applications and even games. I know there are some “share your code” examples, but personally I was dissatisfied with the implementations/code.

Corona does a great job at simplifying common tasks like these so I would rather use Corona’s own implementations.

Also, I find it a bit odd that something like “button” would be in a “widget” library. A button is a very basic UI feature, so I feel it makes more sense to be under “Native UI”.

Actually, I just noticed the tableView under widget, which is basically the listview I was mentioning above. Again I think this makes more sense to be under UI :slight_smile: To me a “widget” is something that allows you to perform a special function, whereas things like a listview or button you will find in the first tutorial of a mobile apps course.

Imagine how good would be to use those “petit-features” into our business apps… :wink:
