Can a accordion menu be used within corona sdk? Similar to a horizontal spry menu in a webpage? So far I’ve only used tap buttons.Thanks [import]uid: 88495 topic_id: 34720 reply_id: 334720[/import]
Touch devices don’t support the concept of roll-over/mouse over, so there would have to be a touch action to cause the accordion to open and collapse. You can do it, but you will probably have to program it as I’m not aware of an existing library to do an accordion. [import]uid: 199310 topic_id: 34720 reply_id: 137979[/import]
How can the effect be created without changing too much code? Can a animation mimic the effect of “touch and open” buttons instead of opening new scenes in director? [import]uid: 88495 topic_id: 34720 reply_id: 138009[/import]
I was also struggling with the concept of accordion menus on mobile devices. I made a decision to abandon the thought, and go with iOS Popover style menus instead.
Popover menus can easily be created with Corona’s storyboard and showOverlay() with a fade effect. [import]uid: 70847 topic_id: 34720 reply_id: 138038[/import]
Is there a template to demo this? [import]uid: 88495 topic_id: 34720 reply_id: 138058[/import]
…sorry, not that I know of.
I’m working on a couple of projects where I’ve designed popover-style menus with a combination of Corona’s storyboard and widget API’s in a day or so. Storyboard is quite easy to get a hang of. [import]uid: 70847 topic_id: 34720 reply_id: 138085[/import]
I don’t understand the storyboard template in Corona SDK. It shows memory usage and seem to have two buttons for tabbar that don’t seem to do anything, I’m not sure. Could you tell me what its used for? [import]uid: 88495 topic_id: 34720 reply_id: 138108[/import]
