Android Spinners

Post by JosepM » Mon Sep 23, 2013 9:39 am

Hi,

I'm new to Android world :) after playing a little with I have some questions.

How can create or simulate the following controls?
Spinners http://developer.android.com/design/bui ... nners.html
Seek bars http://developer.android.com/design/bui ... -bars.html
Pickers (no date or time) http://developer.android.com/design/bui ... ckers.html
Scrollable tabs http://developer.android.com/design/bui ... /tabs.html

I know that I can simulate some of them but I will appreciate any experience or "how to" :)

Salut,
Josep M

Hi Josep,
Nice list of names for Android objects.
I'm going to be bold here and present an Android/LiveCode cross reference (NOTE: This is not official and I'm only stating my thoughts on this).

Android > LiveCode
Spinners > Dropdowns e.g. http://forums.runrev.com/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=17212
Seek Bars > Sliders e.g. http://livecodeshare.runrev.com/stack/2 ... 7s-Sliders
Pickers > Spinner (?) e.g. http://forums.runrev.com/viewtopic.php?f=53&t=14543
Scollable Tabs > SlideView (?) e.g. http://forums.runrev.com/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=16981

These are not "Native" examples (e.g. mobileControlCreate) but are manipulations of objects.

Hope that gets you started :)

Simon
