How to duplicate the iphone set time display?

Games
#1

Hi folks!!
Maybe on of you has tried to do this.
I’m developing a game and I need to show some information in the same way that the iphone display the set time when the user wants to set this. I want to display a list of items vertically and be able to move (up and down) the list, the same way that I do this in the iphone when I change the hours. How can I do this?, How can I know wich is the item selected? (the item that is showed in the middle).
Thanks in advance. [import]uid: 54055 topic_id: 14671 reply_id: 314671[/import]

Open CoronaSDK in Applications, then go SampleCode > Interface > WidgetDemo.

Once you’re running that click on “NewPickerWheel” (It’s an option inside the app).

That’s a great example of how to do what you’re asking :slight_smile: [import]uid: 52491 topic_id: 14671 reply_id: 54264[/import]

Hi Peach!!
I was searching some code and I found this, is an entire code but doesn’t work. Could you tell me what is wrong?

thanks in advance.

[lua]–widget.newPickerWheel( [params] )
– localize a couple variables prior to use
local myPicker, doneButton

– button event handler
local onDone = function( event )
– get values from picker wheel
local m = myPicker.col1.value
local d = myPicker.col2.value
local y = myPicker.col3.value

– Print the results to the terminal:
print( m … " " … d … ", " … y )

– remove the button
display.remove( doneButton )
doneButton = nil

– remove the picker wheel
display.remove( myPicker )
myPicker = nil
end

– Create the picker widget:
myPicker = widget.newPickerWheel{ preset=“usDate”, startDay=19, startMonth=2, startYear=2011 }

– Place picker wheel at bottom of iPhone screen:
–myPicker.y = display.contentHeight - myPicker.height

– Create a “Done” ui button widget to capture picker selection:
doneButton = widget.newButton{ label=“Done”, onRelease=onDone }
doneButton:setReferencePoint( display.CenterRightReferencePoint )
doneButton.x = display.contentWidth - 5
doneButton.y = 22

local pickerColumn = {
data = {“Item #1”,“Item #2”,“Item #3”,“Item #4”,“Item #5”,“Item #6”,“Item #7”,“Item #8”,“Item #10”},width = 100
}

local someGroup = display.newGroup()
local myPicker = widget.newPickerWheel{ preset=“usDate” }

– WRONG:
someGroup:insert( myPicker ) --> will produce an error

– CORRECT:
someGroup:insert( myPicker.view )

print( myPicker.col1.value )

print( myPicker.col2.value )

print( myPicker.col3.value )

myPicker:removeSelf()
myPicker = nil

– or

display.remove( myPicker )
myPicker = nil

myPicker:removeSelf()
myPicker = nil

– or

display.remove( myPicker )
myPicker = nil[/lua] [import]uid: 54055 topic_id: 14671 reply_id: 54309[/import]

This example just run over iphone?, can I run that example on simulator (notebook windows), because in my computer doesn’t work.

Thanks.

Hey again,

Yes, at the present time I believe widgets are only for iOS.

You may want to look at creating your own visual elements to replicate it on Android?

Hi peach!!
I have trying to make the same effect with a list, using the listview example, it is almost the same, but I cant make the list thinner or smaller?, because just one list it is showed on the entire screen.

Thanks. [import]uid: 54055 topic_id: 14671 reply_id: 54552[/import]

For UI related stuff you should post in the UI forum. (It means others looking for the same things can read your posts :))
