sencha touch 2: card layout within one of the panel of a carousel - sencha-touch

Question

What I'm trying to do here is to use a card layout within the panel of a carousel. But it seems impossible that it's not common to create a card layout and the carousel is actually one of the card-layout-like container. So I wonder if it can be achieved in Sencha Touch 2.
Here is my main view, a plain carousel container:
Ext.define("myapp.view.Main", {
extend: 'Ext.carousel.Carousel',
config: {
defaults: {
styleHtmlContent : true
},
activeItem: 0,
items: [
{
xtype: 'firstview'
},
{
xtype: 'secondview'
},
{
xtype: 'thirdview'
}
]
}
});
and here is my 'firstview', which extends the Ext.Panel as part of the carousel container:
Ext.define("myapp.view.Compose", {
extend: 'Ext.Panel',
xtype: 'firstview',
requires: [
'Ext.form.FieldSet',
'Ext.TitleBar',
'Ext.form.Text',
'Ext.Button'
],
config: {
styleHtmlContent: true,
scrollable: true,
layout: 'vbox',
items: [
{ // title bar
xtype: 'titlebar',
docked: 'top',
title: 'a Title here'
},
{
xtype: 'toolbar',
docked: 'top',
layout: {
type: 'vbox',
align: 'center',
pack: 'center'
},
items: [
{ // controll button set - to change view for composing different kinds of messages
xtype: 'segmentedbutton',
allowDepress: true,
allowMultiple: false,
items: [
{
text: 'subview-1',
pressed: true
},
{
text: 'subview-2'
},
{
text: 'subview-3'
}
]
}
]
},
{
xtype: 'container',
id: 'id_compose_card',
layout: {
type: 'card',
align: 'center',
pack: 'top'
},
config: {
height: '100%',
items: [
{
html: 'card 1'
},
{
html: 'card 2'
}
]
}
}
]
}
});
as you can see, there is a card layout within this panel. But as a matter of fact nothing is not going to display.
Of course, I can find another way out to achieve some thing similar here, but I just want to know is it impossible to embed a card container into a card-layout-like container, for example, 'tabPanel' or 'carousel' in sencha touch 2?

Hey in the Compose widget replace the the part with id:'id_compose_card'
with this
{
xtype: 'container',
id: 'id_compose_card',
layout: {
type: 'card',
align: 'center',
pack: 'top'
},
flex: 1,
items: [
{
html: 'card 1'
},
{
html: 'card 2'
}
]
}
I just took out the parts inside the config object and put them outside. Im getting this feeling that u cant nest a config inside another config object for a class definition. A lot of people are having issue and this seems to be the problem. You might want to confirm this on their forum.
Then I also replaced the attribute
height: '100%',
with this
flex:1
This will tell the vbox layout to make your component fill the remaining space.
