Semi-urgent: iOS QuickView component support

Solar2D Daily Builds and Public Releases
#1

Hi,

We’re at 70-80% of our app and we need to be able to open and display local files for well, a quick view.

See also this public thread http://developer.anscamobile.com/forum/2011/07/14/opening-files-sending-other-apps

The app we’re making demonstrates Corona being used in a non-gaming manner in an extraordinary way; if you’re Corona Staff and want to know more contact me privately under a gentleman’s NDA. So being able to display more files via QuickView will probably help us both …

Keep up the great work!

FIXED.

local path = system.pathForFile(“sometest.doc”,system.ResourceDirectory)
native.showWebPopup(0,0,320,480,path)

is the way to do it, also works for Pages, etc. system.PathForFile is crucial here. Also works on system.DocumentsDirectory.

Tested on iOS 4.3.5, OS X Lion, build 585

Yep, Corona is even better than you thought, isn’t that nice :slight_smile: [import]uid: 5822 topic_id: 12482 reply_id: 48174[/import]

#8

Seems to be broken on iOS5 - black screen.

Both on build 645 and 681.

(LOL great to find out 8h after you renewed…) [import]uid: 5822 topic_id: 12482 reply_id: 67744[/import]

#9

Works again in build 687 (688 and 689 crash for me).

As a bonus: iOS 5 also previews docx documents (besides doc, pdf, pages and rtf and of course, html) [import]uid: 5822 topic_id: 12482 reply_id: 68723[/import]
