Question

I have some questions

• How do you use url based windows in titanium?
• Does setting the url to a “.js” file run all the code in the file or does it just open the window?
• How does it come to know about the exact Window? Is there any naming convention required?

Answer 1

No naming conventions and you just use the path. window.url = windows/window1.js Also the code run when the window is open as you correctly guessed 🙂

var window = Ti.UI.createWindow({
    url: 'windows/window1.js'
});

From docs: “url to a JavaScript file with the windows instructions. this window will create a new JavaScript sub-context that will run in its own thread and global variable space.”

I think this sub-contexts info will help you understand them the most.
