Hi Everyone,

I've put myself into a bit of a predicament... i have designed an app such that it runs best with two stacks... when testing on the computer the application works perfectly... it opens one stack then the other opens on top of it whenever it's called for... however, when i go to the iPhone emulator the application acts as if the second stack is being used, but it cannot be viewed.... does anyone have any suggestions or have come across this in their own work?

Thanks in advance!

Regards,

Sean

Hi Sean

Yep I got bitten with this.

On mobile there can only be 1 stack. You will also find that using options/menu button won't work either because it is implemented by a stack internally.

suggestions?

Either 2 cards or ..
. Make all the controls on this other stack a group and set it to act as a background so its easier to manage than having all the controls on 1 stack. Then change the visible of the group and the"main" group on the main stack to be complentary to each other

Oh and lookup MobilePick for the options/menu the dictionary is your best friend ... With apologies to Klaus and Craig

Hi Lagi,

Thanks for getting back to me on this. That's a bummer to hear that mobile can only do one stack, but completely understandable.

Thanks for the great suggestions too. Its already helped me start to think of how to redesign some of the elements to make it work on mobile.

Regards,

Sean
