AlloyPopover

A Titanium Alloy-ready popover component for iOS and Android (probably works on MobileWeb & BB10, but untested). This component somewhat replicates the iPad-specific iPad control. It does not instantiate Ti.UI.iPad.PopOver on iOS.

Instructions

1. Download & unzip the dist/alloypopover.zip file
2. Copy it to your project's app/widgets folder
3. Modify app/config.json:

"dependencies": {
	"com.skypanther.alloypopover": "1.2"
}

4. Instantiate in your controller following the example code below.
5. Optional, style the popover following the instructions below

Examples

See the included sample app. Or, check out the following.

Example 1: Passing child views in markup example

You can pass child views to the widget in the XML (added in Alloy 1.3.0):

####popover.xml - popover view

<Alloy>
	<Widget id="popover" src="com.skypanther.alloypopover">
		<TableView id="table"/>
	</Widget>
</Alloy>

#####popover.js - popover controller

// initialize the popover
$.popover.init({
	title: 'Popover',
	showLeftNavButton: true,
	leftNavButtonTitle: 'Done',
	leftNavCallback: function() {
		// function run after left button is clicked
	},
	showRightNavButton: true,
	rightNavButtonTitle: 'Next',
	rightNavCallback: function() {
	},

	// set to true to disable tapping on backshade to close
	disableBackshadeClose: false,

	// view to show within the popover (if using this method of passing the view. 
	// If undefined, the widget child views from the view will be used)
	view: args.view,

	// time after left or right done buttons before the popover window is closed
	duration: 200,  // defaults: iOS: 200 ms, Android: 1000 ms

	openCallback: function() {
		// called when popover is opened
		alert('open callback');
	},
	closeCallback: function() {
		// called when popover is closed
		alert('close callback');
	}

});

Example 2: Creating/initializing in the controller

// initialize popover within a click handler
function doClick() {
	// create the view that will be shown within the popover
	var custview = Alloy.createController('custview');
	// create and initialize the popover
	var pop = Alloy.createWidget('com.skypanther.alloypopover');
	pop.init({
		title: 'Popover',
		showLeftNavButton: true,
		leftNavButtonTitle: 'Done',
		leftNavCallback: function() {
			// function run after left button is clicked
			alert(JSON.stringify(Alloy.Globals.theRow));
		},
		showRightNavButton: false,
		rightNavButtonTitle: 'Next',
		rightNavCallback: function() {
			alert(JSON.stringify(Alloy.Globals.theRow));
		},
		// set to true to disable tapping on backshade to close
		disableBackshadeClose: false,
		// view to show within the popover
		view: custview.getView()
	});
	// call showMe() to display the popover
	pop.showMe();
}

Styling the popover

You can override the default styles by adding any of the following selectors to your project's app/styles/app.tss file:

"#popover": {}, /* window containing popover */
"#backshade": {}, /* background */
"#shadow[platform=ios]": {}, /* iOS only, shadow around popover contents */
"#wrapper": {}, /* border and container around contents */
"#titlebar": {}, /* title bar */
"#leftnavbutton": {}, /* left title bar button */
"#title": {}, /* title label */
"#rightnavbutton": {}, /* right title bar button */
"#contents": {} /* content area */
