iOS Tableview in Click Fusion 2.5

Welcome to our brand new Clickteam Community Hub! We hope you will enjoy using the new features, which we will be further expanding in the coming months.

A few features including Passport are unavailable initially whilst we monitor stability of the new platform, we hope to bring these online very soon. Small issues will crop up following the import from our old system, including some message formatting, translation accuracy and other things.

Thank you for your patience whilst we've worked on this and we look forward to more exciting community developments soon!

  • Hello Clickers,
    I'm revisiting some questions that I had when I first purchased the iOS exporter a couple of years ago. (I still don't find the answers by doing a forum search.) At that time, there were no real CF widgets for iOS development.

    I have an app that I'd like to rewrite using CF, but I use the Tableview also sometimes called Listview in the app. I populate the Tableview using json. The user scrolls through the list, selects one item and proceeds to the next "page" or screen. All this is a completely common iOS interface.

    [INDENT]*Is there a way to create an iOS Tableview using CF?
    *What about populating the list with json? If not json, what?
    *Are there any iOS widgets/elements via extensions or ?[/INDENT]

    I haven't used CF much over the years, but would like to get back to it when/if it makes development easier on iOS. I currently use CSS,HTML5, javascript,jquery,jquery mobile,Cordova,and Xcode.

    I'm really tired of having to deal with such a myriad of technologies, but would like to use iOS "look and feel" widgets.

    Perhaps someone can point me to examples or information that I've missed or talk about how they populate lists using CF. I understand that CF is utilized more as a game maker, but it has always been around as a platform for applications too.

    Thanks for your comments. This has always been a great forum.

  • Clickteam Fusion's standard "List object" has the option to display as either a TableView or a PickerView type list on iOS which is what you are looking for.
    It is very simple though, it only shows the text from that line and nothing more.

    In general the default user controls like buttons and checkboxes will automatically look native.

    I don't know if there is a JSON object ported to iOS at this point but you can always extract simple data from it using the StringParser extension. Otherwise you can easily just get the contents of the list file from the web and populate the list with that. The 'Get object' can easily download files like that from the web.

  • Anders,
    I appreciate your help with my questions. I use a list that is populated by a client side Json file. The list includes thumbnails, title,description and aside info. It doesn't sound like the list object will work for me.

    Was sure nice to get a reply to this question though.
