In app help screens and scroll text example

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion

Hi Everyone,

I’m trying to create a help/instructions screen within my app. I do not want to change screens and I came across an excellent sample of the scroll view method (http://developer.anscamobile.com/content/scroll-view - 21.3kb).

I have incorporated that code in my app and it works fine. My only two questions are 1) how do you close the text screen down and return to the app and 2) I use John Beebe’s retinatext method for sharpened text. Can I incorporate retinatext into the scroll view sample. Otherwise the text is slightly blurry on better resolution devices.

Apart from the above, how do people include help screens in their app. Is there some kind of wiki I can use with hypertext and colour formatting?

Thanks

Adrian

I’d use a webpopup or other web view :slight_smile: [import]uid: 10389 topic_id: 21959 reply_id: 87404[/import]

Thanks WauloK, but I have read bad things about webpopup on the forums causing huge memory leaks. However I have just discovered ListView and that looks like it can do sort of what I want.

Thanks again
