The Lua and physics engine is great for making games. I have to say it is the bomb!
I have noticed it is not as easy to make nice native looking forms with radio buttons, checkboxes, list, multiline textboxes and so on. Would it be easier to just use the your browser control pointing to a local html page for this? A lot of people already know html,css for making forms. Do you have an example of posting a form locally and sending it’s info to a remote server with a response?
It seems like it would be reinventing the wheel trying to do forms with absolute positioned elements using Lua code.
Kind of like a hybrid of Corona and PhoneGap would be the perfect multi-platform solution. [import]uid: 112333 topic_id: 19754 reply_id: 319754[/import]
Yes… it would be really nice if there could be an easy way to create and read data back from a native form such as would be found in the settings app. I really wish I could throw together a bunch of native toggles and such for my app, rather than having to smoke-and-mirror it all. There isn’t an all-encompassing forms module yet for Corona. But one of us should really take a stab at it and start the ball rolling. Who’s first
