Shopping list or to-do list possible ?

Hey guys

Is it possible to create shopping list and todo list app via corona ?
I had 2 ios projects, one of them required crop/resize images which I dont think is possible to do with corona (interactively) since my thread about it died out. I will just do it in ObjC and xcode way.

The second one I have is for a grocery items and coupons list app which is like a shopping/todo list.

Is that possible ? Need basic things like adding items or coupons to create a list and option to mark them checked out or cross them out.

Any items or hints on how to approach this ? I do think tableView will be needed here.

I will manage the database via api and my webservice calls but need some advise on the main list parts and the visual UI, I dont need it too advanced but do want to make sure it wont end looking a plain web2.0 UI

Absolutely possible. Look at the WidgetDemo sample app that comes with your Corona SDK installation in Samples folder. You will see most (if not all) UI elements you need for an app of this kind put to use there. Good luck.

Man I gotta admit working with tableview and other widgets in corona looks like a breeze compared to native objc

I will start my tests tomorrow and hope we can change table’s background image to make it look a bit more modern in UI aspects

Do you have any hints for the “tap to cross out” thing which is kind of a trend in shopping lists now a days ?

Also, can you please take a look at my other thread for a image editing app project

test in tableview is just a regular display object so you can layer it over or below other display objects. Tap to cross can be accomplished by “drawing” a line and inserting it into the same row object over the text.
