Over the last days my book publisher was nice to me and didn’t send me any chapter to work on for the final draft. So I had some time to look into the new plugin system of Gideros Studio. Of course, I had to dive into Objective-C and play with native UI elements in IOS. Of course, I still hate any kind of C dialect. But it is surpringly easy to add new functionality to Gideros. I am putting together a plugin to use native IOS UI elements. Basically everything that was available till IOS 4.2/4.3.
- Views
- Buttons
- WebView
- TextField with keyboard
- TextView with keyboard
- Labels
- Imageview
- Navigationbar
- Mapview
- etc etc.
What I love, and I mean LOVE…. about Gideros is that you can add anything that it is missing through plugins. I was always missing this functionality from a different tool I used before and the way GiderosMobile has opened up Gideros Studio is awesome. Thanks to these guys for listening to their user base!
Here are some images from my first tryouts:
