Webview on CoronaCards iOS

CoronaCards (Corona in native apps) CoronaCards for iOS / Android
#1

Hello,

New to Native iOS and CoronaCards.

I tried migrating my Corona SDK project to my iOS Project. But the webview object is refusing to be created.

after calling “webview = native.newWebView( _CX, 376.5*2, 332*2, 525*2 )”

I get webview = nil.

Is it even possible?

Thank you,

Mor

Since the idea behind CoronaCards is to add a CoronaView to an existing native app, if you want native.* objects like webViews is that you would implement them natively. No native.* API will be implemented in CoronaCards.

Thanks Rob.

That’s a bummer. It is working on Android after all.

Another issue I’m having is I cannot find any documentation on CoronaCards Swift<->Lua communication, only Obj-C here:

https://docs.coronalabs.com/coronacards/ios/communication.html

Also, it seems that there’s an error in the documentation on Androids Java<->Lua communication here:

https://docs.coronalabs.com/coronacards/android/communication.html

CoronaView view = ... Hashtable\<Object, Object\> event = new Hashtable\<Object, Object\>(); returnValue.put("otherKey", "otherValue"); returnValue.put("name", "pauseEvent"); view.sendEvent(event);

I do believe that “returnValue” should be “event”.

Since I was able to answer these questions, I figured I’ll share the answers…

  1. A good document for communicating between Swift to Lua and back can be found here:

https://coronalabs.com/blog/2014/12/09/tutorial-integrating-swift-and-coronacards/

I would recommend updating the Docs as well.

  1. The Docs do have an error in them. The variable should be “event” and not “returnValue”.
