Possible problem with Maps

CoronaCards (Corona in native apps) CoronaCards for WP8
#1

Greetings

Can you please inform us if maps are supported in WP8 + corona cards?

I saw that:

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

but native.showAlert works. So I hoped that the maps would, but, unfortunately, they don’t seem to work the same as on an Android device.

I’ve did my homework and searched on the the internet for a fix for my problem, but I couldn’t really say I found something.

Can you please give us an update/roadmap for the features that will be available with CC for WP8?

Kind regards,

Stefan

Corona does not currently support native UI such as Maps, TextFields, TextBoxes, WebViews, or VideoViews on WP8.

We also do not plan on adding maps support in the near future since that feature is not in high demand.

Please see the link below for all of the Lua APIs/features that are currently supported on WP8…

And also have a look at our porting guide for guidance on how to port your existing Corona project here…

   http://docs.coronalabs.com/daily/coronacards/wp8/portapp.html

Since you are developing natively with Corona and Visual Studio, you can add map support yourself in C#.  Visual Studio’s UI designer actually makes this pretty easy for you.  Microsoft documents how to integrate their maps feature on WP8 here…

   http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/jj207045(v=vs.105).aspx

And you can use Corona’s Lua/.NET bridge to communicate from Lua to .NET and vice-versa as documented here…

I hope this helps!
