I have been struggling with the Episode Randomiser project. The main issue I’ve had was the complexity of the API. I spent ages trying to get the Database to install using the Titanium.Database.install function and realised (eventually) that the installation is only applicable to mobile platforms.. So the lesson for tonight : Read… and then read again.
I’m going to accept that I was at fault for not reading the documentation – but I do think the design could be better :
Take these 2 pages here and here
What’s confusing is that both pages has the same look and feel – the only difference is that on the desktop version, the mobile icons are disabled. The lack of an icon for the desktop just screams that this platform is for the chop. So I’ll keep with it for a while, and look to port the finished product on to Iphone and Android.
So – as of tonight the Randomiser (and I’m going with the project name of rndmiser) allows a sample Database to be installed along with the application, and I managed to perform a simple query listing all of the doctors.
