Approach:
• More hands on. Walk you through how to use the software instead of just talking about it.
• Hard to tell who is on what level so I start from the beginning on the basic level.
• Additional tutorials can be found free on my blog and YouTube channel.

Differences between Titanium & Phonegap
What is the difference between PhoneGap & Titanium?
- The basic answer is PhoneGap uses straight HTML so you have to use your own elements in
CSS or use some library like jQuery but it does not allow you to use native elements like tabs,
table views and other elements.

Alloy VS Classic
Alloy Classic
VS
Alloy vs Classic?
- Alloy is a new language introduced by Appcelerator. It uses the MVC model. Although both
languages can produce the same thing Alloy can do it with less code (most of the times). It
also separates your code more for easier maintainability.
- It does come down to preference, which way you prefer to code.

Alloy - MVC
index.xml
index.tss index.js
MVC
- Alloy uses uses an MVC model. This separates the code to make it more maintainable.
- The model is used in the index.xml to define the content.
- The view is used in the index.tss to control the look of the elements. The nice thing about
this is you can define different visuals based on device, and OS.
- The controller is within the index.js. This controls what happens with elements are clicked
on or logic for the app.

Starting a New Project
- To start a new project simply click on File > New > Mobile Project

Alloy: Classic:
Type of Project
- Depending on the type of project you want you can select one of the default templates or
just select default to start your own.

Creating a Window
Classic Code:
app.js
//Establish the window and color
var window = Titanium.UI.createWindow({
backgroundColor:'red'
});
//Open the window
window.open();
Classic:
//Establish the window and color
});
//Open the window
window.open();

Creating a Window
Alloy Code:
index.xml
<Alloy>
<Window class="container">
</Window>
</Alloy>
index.tss
".container": {
backgroundColor:"red"
}
Alloy:
index.xml:
<Alloy>
</Window>

index.tss:
".container": {
backgroundColor:"red"
}

Windows and Views
Windows vs Views
- There can only be 1 window open and any time but you can establish a numerous views
within the window. You can either add elements to your window or to any view to group them
together and then you can position your views form there.

Different Types of Views

Different Types of Views
- Like we will learn there are many different types of views you can add or you can have just a
normal view.

Analogy - Creating Objects then Adding to Window
Get the Actor
Get the Object
var actor = Ti.UI.createView({
});
Compare to Actors on Stage/Camera
- Just like getting an actor ready for the stage defining objects to place on the stage is
similar. You first define which actor you want to use for your “production”. For the code you
choose from the different objects (actors) available and then wrap them in a variable most of
the time using the Ti.UI.create...
- This isn’t all you need to do. In order for them to be ready you need to define some
attributes of how you want them to look/act.

Add Attributes to Actor
- Makeup
- Costume
- etc
backgroundColor:'red',
width:100,
height:100,
top:20
});
Add Attributes to the Object
- Width
- Height
- etc
- Just like an actor cannot just walk off the street and portray the character you have in your
mind. You need to define some attributes with them. Such as costume, make up and other
things. In this same way you add attributes to your objects such as width, height and others.
- This defines what the actor will look like and how they will appear but it still does not place
them where they need to be.

Add the actor to the stage/
camera
Add object to the window or view
width:100,
height:100,
top:20
});
window.add(actor);
image.addEventListener('click', function(){
alert('This is a test');
})
- The final step is to place the actor on stage or on camera. This is where they need to be to
be viewed by the audience. If they are not on the camera then your end audience will not see
them.
- After this is done you then define what the actor should do with the script or in the case of
coding javascript or adding event listeners.

<Alloy>
<ImageView id="actor" onClick="doClick"
image="images/Checkmark.png" />
</Window>
</Alloy>
XML - Get the Actor
TSS - Define Attributes
"#actor":{
top: 10,
width: 260,
height: 95
function doClick(e) {
//Tell the actor what to do
}
JS - Script what the actor does
}
- Alloy works the same. You add the object in the XML then add attributes in the TSS file and
finally add the script within the JS file.

Creating a View
Classic Code:
app.js
//Create the view and it's attributes
var view1 = Ti.UI.createView({
width:100,
height:100,
top:20
});
//Add the view to the window or view
window.add(view1);
Classic:
backgroundColor:'white'
});
width:100,
height:100,
top:20
});
window.add(view1);
window.open();

Creating a View
Alloy Code:
index.xml
<Alloy>
<View id="view" />
</Window>
</Alloy>
index.tss
".container": {
backgroundColor:"white"
},
"#view": {
backgroundColor:"red",
width: 50,
height: 50,
top: 10
}
Alloy:
index.xml:
<Alloy>
<View id="view" />
</Window>
</Alloy>
index.tss:
".container": {
},
"#view": {
width: 50,
height: 50,
top: 10
}
or
index.xml:
<Alloy>
<View id="view" backgroundColor="red" width="50" height="50" />
</Window>
</Alloy>

Adding Objects to a View
Classic Code:
app.js
width:100,
height:100,
top:20
});
//Create the object and its attributes
backgroundColor:'black',
width: 20,
height: 20,
top: 10
});
//Add the second object to the view not the window
view1.add(view2);
window.add(view1);
Classic:
backgroundColor:'#ffffff'
});
width:100,
height:100,
top:20
});
//Create the object and its attributes
backgroundColor:'black',
width: 20,
height: 20,
top: 10
});
//Add the second object to the view not the window
view1.add(view2);
window.add(view1);
window.open();

Adding Objects to a View
Alloy Code:
index.xml
<View id="view">
<View id="view2"></View>
</View>
index.tss
"#view": {
width: 50,
height: 50,
top: 10
}
"#view2": {
backgroundColor:"black",
width: 20,
height: 20,
top: 5
}
Alloy:
index.xml:
<Alloy>
<View id="view">
<View id="view2"></View>
</View>
</Window>

//You then add your label to the window or view
window.add(label1)
Classic:

//This is the code to create a label
color:'#999',
text:'This is a text',

window.add(label1)
window.open();
