All (or all that I can find) of the sample apps have just one “screen”, so to speak. Now of course I can show/hide elements to have multiple screens (putting them in groups), but is there an idiomatic way in Corona to build multi-screen apps?
(Ideally, following such an idiom would make it possible (later, eventually) for the Corona build process to emit each screen as its own Activity under Android.)

I don’t know what you mean by “idiomatic.” Most people use the Director class (look in Resources for that.) Alternatively, I posted in Code Exchange>Tutorials my Object-Oriented framework that has multiple screens. [import]uid: 12108 topic_id: 7729 reply_id: 27443[/import]
By idiomatic, I mean “what is the most common and accepted way to handle this among Corona developers?”
I will look at the two things you mentioned, thanks!

Hey Kyle,

That covers using director with no prior knowledge and as jhocking said, it’s the “done thing”.
Good luck

Thank you, I will use “director” as described there.

Thanks - I downloaded this, tried it out, and it is exactly what I was hoping for.
Perhaps in a future version of Corona, this will be “in the box”.
