Update Images from Site

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion
#1

Hey guys, quick question. I am new to Corona although I have had it for over a year, I just was to busy to learn so I used Gamesalad but they are now getting a little sloppy and money oriented so I figured I would start learning Corona more deeply.

Anyways, my question is if it is possible to load information from a site with and insert form and results that update? Also in the form of a picture?

A quick example of something similar to what I want to do. Like you insert your zip code and it looks up the temperature for that zip code on weather.com. And by in the form of a picture I mean like once you look up the weather, it shows a picture of the forecast from the site?

Is that possible? I don’t need to know how to do it but just if I could.

I’m guessing it has to do with extracting xml files. [import]uid: 86518 topic_id: 30994 reply_id: 123903[/import]

you can use xml or json. json will be easier as corona have json decoding functionality integrated.

you need to make a webcall to the page or webservice which will return the result as xml or json. [import]uid: 71210 topic_id: 30994 reply_id: 123906[/import]
