Cordova PickerView Plugin

by Olivier Louvignes

DESCRIPTION

• This plugin provides a simple way to use the UIPickerView native component from iOS.

• This plugin is built for Cordova >= v2.1.0 with ARC.

• There is a Sencha Touch 2.0 plugin to easily leverage this plugin here

SAMPLE PROJECT GENERATION

You can generate a sample XCode project by running samples/ios/create.sh from the root of the repository. You will have to manually add the ActionSheet folder to Xcode (see step 2).

PLUGIN SETUP FOR IOS

Using this plugin requires Cordova iOS.

1. Make sure your Xcode project has been updated for Cordova

2. Rename the src/ios folder to PickerView, drag and drop it from Finder to your Plugins folder in XCode, using "Create groups for any added folders"

3. Add the .js files to your www folder on disk, and add reference(s) to the .js files using <script> tags in your html file(s)

   <script type="text/javascript" src="/js/plugins/PickerView.js"></script>

4. Add new entry with key PickerView and value PickerView to Plugins in Cordova.plist/Cordova.plist

JAVASCRIPT INTERFACE (IOS/ANDROID)

// After device ready, create a local alias
var pickerView = window.plugins.pickerView;

// Basic with title & defaultValue selected
var slots = [
    {name: 'foo', value: 'baz', data: [
        {value: 'foo', text: 'Displayed Foo'},
        {value: 'bar', text: 'Displayed Bar'},
        {value: 'baz', text: 'Displayed Baz'}
    ]}
];
/*pickerView.create('Title', slots, function(selectedValues, buttonIndex) {
    console.warn('create(), arguments=' + Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments).join(', '));
});*/

// Complex example with 2 slots
var slots = [
    {name : 'limit_speed', title: 'Speed', width: 140, data : [
        {text: '50 KB/s', value: 50},
        {text: '100 KB/s', value: 100},
        {text: '200 KB/s', value: 200},
        {text: '300 KB/s', value: 300}
    ]},
    {name : 'road_type', title: 'Road', width: 160, data : [
        {text: 'Highway', value: 50},
        {text: 'Town', value: 100},
        {text: 'City', value: 200}
    ]}
];
pickerView.create('', slots, function(selectedValues, buttonIndex) {
    console.warn('create(), arguments=' + Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments).join(', '));
}, {style: 'black-opaque', doneButtonLabel: 'OK', cancelButtonLabel: 'Annuler', sourceRect: [100.0, 100.0, 20.0, 20.0], arrowDirection: 'up'});

// Set values after create
setTimeout(function() {
    pickerView.setValue({limit_speed: 100, road_type: 200}, {animated: true});
}, 1000);

BUGS AND CONTRIBUTIONS

Patches welcome! Send a pull request. Since this is not a part of Cordova Core (which requires a CLA), this should be easier.
