Our Application

UI API Phone API

Bridge - JavaScript -Java / JavaScript - Objective C

OS - Android / iPhone

Native Android App Native iOS App

Optional Modules

Titanium MobileApplication Source Files

JS files to native objective code

• JS is statically analyzed• Ti’s Python build scripts interact with native SDK

tools .• Native project stub will created• JS precompiled to bytecode(Android) or inlined

in a generated C file(iOS)• Your JS and native code package together with

V8/Rhino or JavaScriptCore to interpret JS code at runtime

• PC or Mac machine (for iOS development)• XCode with iOS SDK• Android SDK• Titanium Studio with SDK

To start development…

• Powerful Eclipse-based IDE• It will help you create, run for test and deploy

(to app store)

Small intro about Titanium Studio…

• It always notifies you about latest SDK and Studio updates .

Ti Studio (why it so powerful)…

• It is so smart, because it catches mistakes immediately!


• Syntax highlighting


• Content assist and more…


Project structure…

LET’S GET INTO THE INTERESTING PART. CODING…

Create Window

We can also set properties like thiswin.backgroundColor="#F00";win.setBackgroundColor("#F00");

Create Label

Create Button

LET’S GUESS…

Create Button

Create button with add event listener

Add sub view to Window or View

Log methods

Animate with UI elementsBefore start

After complete

IDECreate new projectFolder structureBuild folderError handling (@ runtime)Include JS file

Connect to Web Services

open( “GET|POST”, “[HTTP://URL…]”, “[TRUE|FLASE – async call]”] )This async parameter only for iOS

Connect to Web Services

• How to send data using post method?

• How to stop request

REQUEST.OPEN(“SHOW”,”DEMO”)Keep your app fresh. Use web services

• Install will copy SQLite database file to device's internal storage. If file is there, it just uses the open method

• We can use Ti.App.Properties to set db install to true. For E.g. Ti.App.Properties. setBool(‘isDbInstalled’,true)

• Open will automatically open the DB to perform CRUD operations

Database

Database code snippets

• Running SQL Queries against the DB

• We can also get number of Rows affected

• What about SELECT Query?

Database code snippets

DATABASE.OPEN(“DEMO”)CRUD operations

• Create 2 letter folder inside “i18n” (18 stands for the number of letters between the first i and last n in internationalization) in root folder.

• Create Locale folder in it• In that Locale folder just keep strings.xml

Internationalization

• Just like CSS, we can use this JSS to bring rich user interface to apply styles to elements.

• Yes, here also we can create “Class” and “ID”. Just like .classname or #Idname

• How to include JSS in our view?– Just retain same name for the .JSS file– For Example :- ui.js and the JSS file ui.jss

Applying Styles using JSS

CSS and JSS

#idName{ color:#f00; height:100px; width:100px;}

#idname{ color:#f00; height:100; width:100; text:”This is my CSS Text”;}

.className{backgroundColor:#fff;}

.className{ backgroundColor:#fff;}

JSS {DEMO:’NOW’}Let’s apply style

• Create a server backed for your app instantly• Launch and scale your app automatically• No server coding or administration required• Reduced Cost

Cloud Service

• Standard(Tier 1)– Users– Key Values– Photos– Custom objects– Email Templates– Push notifications

• Advanced(Tier 2)– Chat– Check-ins– Social integration– Photo Collections– Clients– Places– Status– Ratings, Reviews & Likes– Posts

Useful Ti Modules

• Ti for Titanium• L for Titanium.Locale.getString• alert for Titanium.UI.createAlertDialog• And also remember about Code snippets– For e.g. :- button then {ctrl + space} and see the

magic..
