Hi, im considering moving from corona sdk to defold, but as i also make more business type apps (think spotify) i need to be able to use tableviews similar to native or corona widget functionality.
I have searched a lot but cant find much on the subject. Is it available and or possible to accomplish?
I am probably not skilled enough to write my own, especially as i need to learn defold first, although knowing lua and gamemaker from before probably will speed up the learning process.
Thank in advance,
anaqim
EDIT - i think i may have found something that could work. Gooey dynamic lists looks like they can do the trick. Am i on the right track or does anyone know of a better solution?
A tableview is sometimes called uitableview and is a widget to handle massive data tables, like for example when scrolling vertically through a list of items. They exist on all native devices and are used in most non game apps. For example when scrolling through emails in your gmail app or tracks or albums in a music streaming app, and even netflix lists. Its a table optimized scrollview. Corona has an entire widget library that is mit licensed, in case anyone want to convert it. Its all lua 5.1 based too.
From what i read it sounds like gooey is a solution but i will need to test it to be sure.
The dynamic list in Gooey should work. But Gooey can hardly compete with a complex UI library built for app creation. Gooey should be enough for the UI needed in a game though.
