Configuration File

Configuration File

The FCat framework works with a configuration file that will enable us to define the entire application skeleton. You can give this file the name you want as long as it end with ".xml".

Here is a complete example of a configuration file:

<fcat-application>

<title>CMA</title>

<group name="welcomeTabBarItem" title="Welcome" image="welcomegroup.png">

    <view class="WelcomeView" name="welcome" >
         <route action="userButton" destination="userform"/>
    </view>

    <view class="UserFormView" name="userform" title="User Form">
        <decorator class="FCatTextInputDecorator">
            <scroller>SrollView</scroller>
            <input>Login</input>
            <input>Email</input>
            <input>Password</input>
        </decrator>
    </view>

</group>

<group name="helpTabBarItem" title="Help" image="helpgroup.png">
    <view title="Help" class="FCatWebView" name="help">
        <param name="upButton">yes</param>
        <param name="htmlFile">myhtmlfile</param>
    </view>
</group>
</fcat-application>

The group Element

The group element defines a TabBarItem that contains a group of views.

Properties:

• title : the title of theUITabBarItem that will hold the group.
• image : the icon image of the UITabBarItem.
• name : a unique name that identifies the UITabBarItem in the application.
