How to handle history

Getting Started Newbie Questions
#1

Creating an app that will generate a random web sub-page, and I’d like to preserve a history.  So the requirements I’m trying to meet are that I will have a scrollable list of URLs that, when I tap on one of them, will take me to that URL.  I’m struggling to figure which Corona components I should use to put this together.  Can I use a newTextBox or a ScrollView for the parent container, or something else?  Then do I put newText buttons in?

I have the data structure for the history already, and it is saved to a file.  All the processing is completed - I just don’t see a good way to display what I have on the screen and make it linkable.

Any input would be appreciated!

I would suggest making this based on a tableview. Each row is basically a display group so you can have graphics, text and links in there.

Just add a tap handler to a text object to make it open a URL in a webview.

Awesome - thanks for the suggestion!  I assumed there was something like that out there, but I couldn’t find it.  I’ll try that!
