Drop down menu - Team Ansca what are Options available in Corona?

I need to be able to offer the users options such as a drop down menu they could select from.

Such as 2 drop downs on one page. The First menu Select the State - Then depending on the results, the 2nd drop down would only load city’s for that state. They would have to select the city then submit.
What are the options available? What is working for people?

Are you building this for an iOS device? If so, you might want to do a tableview or picker to be compliant with the Apple Human Interface guidelines.

But with Corona SDK, its each enough to build a rectangle, add text bits that have an on touch event handler, have that box off screen, then animate it on screen.

Right now yes I am building for IOS at least until the pickerwheel is supported on Android

… I am using the new widget for to display the results. However I have not seen a way to use mulit wheel pickers and have them different sizes.

Now a tableview may work. I just found some sample code!!

Just downloaded the table view sample project not what I am looking for:

— Your comment Any example of the above? not sure I understand. [import]uid: 33705 topic_id: 13002 reply_id: 47723[/import]

I can try and mock something up tonight. It might be useful for projects I’ll have going forward anyway.

robmiracle,

Any successful mock ups on this? [import]uid: 33705 topic_id: 13002 reply_id: 48255[/import]

It’s kind of working (well the print statements say its doing the right thing) but I’m still not getting the display working correctly.
