Question

I’ve got the below code:

// Initiate the font choosing lists.
var headerListWindow = Titanium.UI.createWindow();

var headerFontListData = [{title:"Row 1"},{title:"Row 2"},{title:"Row 3"}];
var headerFontList = Titanium.UI.createTableView({data:headerFontListData});

chooseHeader.addEventListener('click', function(e) {
    headerListWindow.left=win.width;

    var a = Titanium.UI.createAnimation();
    a.left = 0;
    a.duration = 1000;  

    headerListWindow.add(headerFontList);

    headerListWindow.open(a);
});

headerFontList.addEventListener('click', function(e) {
    var a = Titanium.UI.createAnimation();
    a.left = win.width;
    a.duration = 1000;

    headerListWindow.close(a);
});

Which slides a window in nicely. When I open headerListWindow for the first time, everything appears, the list works, and the window slides in nicely. When I close() the window, however, all the list elements’ names revert to “R.”. Then, upon reopening the window, the list elements are completely gone. Why is this?

Answer 1

.close() kills your window. it’s passed on. this window is no more. It has ceased to be. It’s expired and gone to meet it’s maker. It’s a stiff. Bereft of life. It rests in peace… etc.

when your window is closed, then your are destroying it. You might like to try .hide() instead which will not null the window, but just not show it on the screen.
