nUINavView
com.softwareag.mobile.runtime.nui.nUINavView
Use to display the navigation view.
The navigation view has different formats based on the platform. For example, for some platforms the navigation view might display as a menu bar that is always visible and uses both icons and text. For other platforms, the navigation view might have hidden menu items that are displayed only when a user presses a button.
Usage Notes
Note:
The
nUINavbuttonElement object should
not represent Back buttons. That is, the object’s
Type attribute should
not be set to
nUINavbuttonElement.TYPE_BACK.
The following are platform-specific considerations:
Android | It is recommended to limit the number of buttons you add to a nUINavView object to 6 buttons. If you add more than 6 buttons, a More button displays on some Android devices. |
iOS | It is recommended to limit the number of buttons you add to a nUINavView object on an iPhone in full-screen portrait mode to 8 buttons. |
