Is Corona suitable for building enterprise business apps?

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion

I’m researching platforms for building a business enterprise iPad app for a client. Coming from a Flash background, currently I’m learning obj C and at the same time looking for alternatives. my questions:

  1. Is corona good for bulding an app with lots of server data, graphs, etc? or would I better off take the common Xcode/objC road for this?

  2. I found little support for the included text field object. For example, changing alignment of the text to “right” is undocumented. It makes me wonder if I will be able to complete my app using Corona.

  3. Referring to the above issue - is it better to use web/html support via web overlay object for advanced text formatting? Is it possible to have multiple web overlay objects on an iPad app?

Thanks,

You could check the API-section for various codes, i.e under “Object” I think it’s called, you’ll find object.align, and more.

From what I can see - this is an object alignment method and not text align method - am I wrong? [import]uid: 13123 topic_id: 5709 reply_id: 19541[/import]

Nah, check the description of the API:

"Description:

Alignment of text displayed in the text input box. May be set to one of the following strings: “left”, “center”, or “right”."

I suppose you could build a business app in Corona but it’s not really intended for that purpose. [import]uid: 12108 topic_id: 5709 reply_id: 19556[/import]
