Flex Mobile Tabbed View Navigator Button Badge

Published on October 28, 2011 in Uncategorized. 1 Comment Tags: , , , .

I wanted to display a “badge text” in a Flex Mobile project. Badge texts are the red circles on iOS, where you can see a number of updates, unread messages, …

This isn’t included in the default flex mobile components / skins, so I decided to extend & skin the tabbed view navigator, so you’re able to add this functionality in your applications.

You simple use my BadgeViewNavigator instead of ViewNavigators, and set a badgeText value to display in the badge:

<views:BadgeViewNavigator label="One" width="100%" height="100%"
		firstView="be.aboutme.flex.mobile.badgeViewNavigator.views.OneView"
		badgeText="23"/>
<views:BadgeViewNavigator label="Two" width="100%" height="100%"
		firstView="be.aboutme.flex.mobile.badgeViewNavigator.views.TwoView"
		badgeText="2"/>
<views:BadgeViewNavigator label="Three" width="100%" height="100%"
		firstView="be.aboutme.flex.mobile.badgeViewNavigator.views.ThreeView"/>

You can download the sources & demo in this fxp file. Enjoy!

iPhone public transportation lookup

Published on May 24, 2009 in Uncategorized. 1 Comment Tags: , , .

Some of you may know, I don’t own a car. So I take the public transportation a lot. I need to check the hours of trains, busses and metro’s very often, but their aren’t any mobile optimized travel-search services (that I know of) here in Belgium.

So I decided to write my own service, which enables you to lookup train, tram, metro and bus connections with your iPhone. Right know, it knows how to get from one bus station to another, I’ll implement other search options in the near future.
