Rdio is an app written in Titanium, I really like it. However, you notice its not fully in new-style nadroid without the native DrawerLayout. HTML5 is really not good enough for killer mobile apps.
- Rafert 13y agoThey're using Xamarin, according to their showcase site. This video mentions before that, they had four different codebases for four different platforms: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oETiK-v7rkE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oETiK-v7rkE so I'm guessing that means native development.
- joewrong 13y agoWhat does HTML5 have to do with Titanium Android?
- mrharrison 13y agoYes, Titanium isn't a web wrapper. It could be, but its a native build via a js api framework.
- Zigurd 13y agoI would not call the DrawerLayout a sine qua non of good Android UI. A couple of years ago Google's official advice for a "navigation hub" in an app was to make a dashboard Activity. It quickly became obvious that a dashboard Activity is a nowhere-land where the only thing you can do is to go someplace else where you can do something. The drawer UI pattern is basically a dashboard in a more textual style, which is hardly an improvement for immediate recognition of what's what, and it functions pretty much the same way. I predict the drawer will last only a little longer than the dashboard as a UI fad in Android. It is also widely abused as a mix of navigation and action. Ugh.
