I’m new to iPhone development and love the concept of Ansca Corona as I don’t have the time to learn objectiveC. In looking at the sample applications, they make sense and I can step through them, but they all appear to be game-oriented…I’m needing to see some real-world business app samples they will illustrate how to create what I would call a standard iPhone-like UI with scrolling lists and data entry forms with all of the various data field controls and with some data lookup via web services. Any of those types of samples would be greatly appreciated. [import]uid: 336 topic_id: 161 reply_id: 300161[/import]
Hi Tony,
You might give this a try: http://www.teehanlax.com/blog/?p=447 Its PSD file with a lot of UI elements. There’s still some functionality on the way with Corona to help with this so stay tuned. [import]uid: 5 topic_id: 161 reply_id: 149[/import]
We are adding more sample programs to illustrate lists, data entry, etc. and we will be posting them on our dev site soon.

Hi Carlos,
I wanted to follow up with you since I first posted this back in June. I love where you guys are taking this product and I’m very anxious to get developing with it, however, unless I’m missing them, most, if not all, of your sample apps are geared toward gaming. I am getting extreme pressure to produce more business-like apps like what I mentioned in my previous post; lists (similar to the iphone contact list), data entry, google map interface for business locations, etc.
Your reply to me was that you will be adding sample apps soon…that was back in October…is there anyway you can speed that up? Do you anything you can give me offline? Any help/direction/samples would be greatly appreciated and would allow me to get going on about half a dozen apps that I have clients very eager for. I’m afraid they will go another direction if I’m not able to deliver something soon.
Thanks! [import]uid: 336 topic_id: 161 reply_id: 1356[/import]
No response? I’ve really tried to be patient and you can see how long I’ve waited. I’m really disappointed. I would think legitimate UI apps as opposed to gaming would be easier to address for you. It would seem that lists and data presentation could have been one of the first things you could have handled. After all of this time has elapsed and I’ve been holding off potential clients, its too late for me and I can no longer wait. At least a timely response would have been much appreciated, but no response at all leads me to believe standard UIs are not important and therefore will be the last to be addressed.

I totally agree with TonyClayton ! I bought the CORONA ANSCA SDK and I have no examples of using the native controls of the Iphone. Time is running and my work is stopped! I’m needing to see some real-world business app samples:like UI with scrolling lists and data entry forms with all of the various data field controls and with some data lookup via web services. Any of those types of samples would be greatly appreciated. C’mon guys !!! [import]uid: 5066 topic_id: 161 reply_id: 1894[/import]
Hi all,
On last saturday I sent Carlos (Corona staff) a TableViewLib in lua to use directly in your developments. It is under development but, what I can say is this:
- You can build native UI Table, Cell and Form views by using only LUA code. Of course it needs a workaround because you must replicate some functionality already present on your device, like native UI. But as CORONA staff is focusing on Game Edition, Android and others things, in the midtime the only way to explore and build some Native UI app using CORONA is doing your code yourself.
To avoid this pain to all of us, I’ve started to buil my own lib sets to simulate native UI response. As I don’t have to much time free, I am sharing my alpha code with CORONA community to improve it and extend it to cover most of the native UI.
One of the pros is the ability to simulate iPhone native UI also in Android platform and reverse, because the code works either in iPhone, iPad or Android as in fact it is LUA code!
If you take a look at the code (when CORONA shares my source code soon, I hope) you will realize that you can build native UI with a few tricks. For instance, in my code, I avoid to use png file for buttons. I just use display.newRect to build them, which allows me to resize them without loosing quality, even if you wish to build buttons with gradients colors inside, you can do it directly in CORONA, without any png file!
So, I hope that my code can contribute to build this native ui support, at least only using LUA code, because I think, as CORONA SDK was developed as native EAGLView in Xcode, this is a contrain to build native TableView. Therefore I guess that’s the limitation that CORONA SDK has to offer native UI support. May be they can workaround to provide those native UI support, but in the midtime, at least, you can simulate that behavior in LUA. Of course it will be close to native response, may be 90-95%, but it is not as smooth as native UI behavior on your device. It is a compromised solution.
We’ll see what can do.

And as soon as I clean it up, I will post it. It looks and behaves very nice indeed.

I would like to iphone Ui examples love the concept.I would call a standard iPhone-like UI with scrolling lists and data entry forms with all of the various data field controls and with some data lookup via web services.
