native.* working on coronacards

CoronaCards (Corona in native apps) CoronaCards for iOS / Android

Ok, i’ve this statement clear (maybe not):

The following is currently not available and will be a subset of functionality due to the architectural limitations described above:

on 2332 and 2407 i used in lua native.showAlert(), and it worked without any problem :huh: .

Some native works and others don’t? Or they are already a subset? Or i’ve been lucky? Do they work on iOS and not on Android?

I’ve dealing with text input, the ability to re-use my lua code for textBox() and textField() can makes a remarkable difference in development.

You got lucky :slight_smile:

Our current policy is not to support the native library in CoronaCards.

Walter,

Are you aware of any alternatives to native.* besides Widget Candy? They don;t appear to have a solution for multiline input.

The CoronaCards UI view/control only does scripted media graphics/audio rendering.  If you want to use a TextField/TextBox, then you are expected to use Apple/Google/Microsoft’s respective UI designer to set it up, like how all native developers do it.

Since I know you’re working on WP8 at the moment, have a look at my instructions on how to create a popup in Visual Studio that you can use to accept text box input.
