Creating an editable table view app

Hi,

I’m new to Corona and Lua.

I’d like to create an app that allows for adding/editing of items. I’m thinking that it would need to use table views. An example of a pretty sophisticated table app is the IMDB app (http://www.appsafari.com/go/342792525/imdb) though it has no capability of adding new items.

I’ve been looking at the table view code (http://developer.anscamobile.com/code/table-view-library) - is that the place that I should start from? From running the sample - I see that it shows navigation via table…but how would I add or create a list of items?

For example:

  1. create an item called “shopping list”
  2. In “shopping list” add new items:
  • grapes
  • bread
  • pizza

So when user taps on shopping list he goes to a table that shows him a list of items that are in there.

If this is the wrong approach…any suggestions on the correct approach?

Thanks for your help.
