Question

I want to to send data from one window to another.
Example:
I have a text field and a button on first window. When click on window I need to send text field value to the second window?
I found a tutorial, but it's not in MVC.

Answer 1

I have created a new alloy controller (left click in your project and then new) and here is how i am passing parameters to the next view.
The new controller is called CallBack and the first controller is called index.
In CallBack.xml i have:
<Alloy>
<View class="container">
</View>
</Alloy>
In CallBack.tss i have:
".container": {
backgroundColor: "black"
}
In CallBack.js i have:
var args = arguments[0] || {};
//here you can do whatever you want to your parameter, i just show the value.
alert(args.textField);
And finally in index.js this is how i am passing the parameters of my textField:
//with a button i can open a new view in my current window
$.btnNext.addEventListener('click',function(e){
//tfInsert is the id of my textfield in index.xml file and with .value i can access to whatever it contains
//the "?" operator is like an if
var textField = $.tfInsert.value != "" ? textField = $.tfInsert.value : textField = "Hello";
var nextView = Alloy.createController('/CallBack', {
textField: textField
}).getView();
//this is how i add a new view to my current window
$.window.add(nextView);
});
Hope this helps.

In controller.js (from where we are passing Data)
function createController(win)
{
//title is the data to pass
var platform = Ti.Platform.osname;
var calledWindow = require('/ui/' + platform + '/addProductWindow').createCalledWindow(title);
calledWindow.open();
};
In calledWindowController.js
function createController(win){
//Do whatever control you want
};
In calledWindow.js
exports.createCalledWindow = function(title)
{
//Do whatever UI you want
Ti.include('/Controllers/calledWindowController.js');
var controller = createController(win);
return win;
};
