Napp UI

This module extends the native UI components provided by the Titanium Mobile SDK. We are more properties to a bunch of UI components, giving you more freedom for styling and functionality.

This is not a set of new UI components. Instead, we are extending the existing framework.

See this module as a collection of extended functionality. I did not invent all of the below functionality, but want to put these together in one united module.

Add the module to your project

Simply add the following lines to your tiapp.xml file:

<modules>
    <module platform="iphone">dk.napp.ui</module> 
</modules>

How to use

Instantiate the module through require(); This will modify and override the native Titanium classes with the NappUI methods.

Note: Creating a NappUI object is optional, but may be useful if methods, properties or custom proxy objects are defined.

var NappUI = require("dk.napp.ui");

The following lists the UI components and its new extended functionality.

Window

Add a blur effect
- 1.0: No blur effect
- 0: Maximum blur effect

var win = Ti.UI.createWindow({
    blur:0.2
});

Static Blur effect (a la' iOS 7)
- enabled: true or flase
- type
- tint (applicable when using the tint type)

var win = Ti.UI.createWindow({

//See example/app.js for all applicable types

    },
    blur:0.75
});

    pinchingGesture:true,
    panGesture:true
});

image.addEventListener('pan', function(e){});
image.addEventListener('panend', function(e){});

image.addEventListener('rotate', function(e){});
image.addEventListener('rotateend', function(e){});
