I’m currently building a story app and I would like to add some features that are found in book readers like iBooks reader, Kindle and Nook.
How would I go about adding a dictionary feature to the app? Would this be built using the native api? For example when I build the text box for users to write in I use …native.newTextField() to build this in my app.
How would I find out how to do this? I’ve done some searches, but I don’t believe I am using the correct vocabulary to find it or I am not fully understanding what I am reading. I did find this at the Mac developers site but I don’t think this applies to me:
The other features I am interested in adding to my app are:
– a table of contents panel that appears when the icon is pushed. When the chapter is click the app goes to that page. Is there a widget or api for this? Or would this have to be programmed from scratch?
– word search --type word into the appropriate box and push enter and the word is found
–highlight a word or phrase and keep and keep it highlighted (and index which have been highlighted in a list)-
-These last two are not so high of a priority for me but I am curious it they are possible with corona.
