# Titanium.Android.R

The Titanium binding of the native Android R class, giving access to Android system-wide resources or application resources.

Availability
1.5

# Overview

To access system-wide resources your application's resources, use Titanium.Android.R. To access your application's resources, use Titanium.App.Android.R.

These properties and sub-properties correspond directly to the properties of the the android.R class, and should have the same syntax. To retrieve the "OK" string from system resources in Android:

Ti.Android.currentActivity.getString(Ti.Android.R.string.ok);

If the file platform/android/res/drawable/icon.png exists in the project, it can be accessed using its resource name, as follows:

var resid = Titanium.App.Android.R.drawable.icon;

See also: android.R (opens new window) in the Android Developer Reference. For more information, refer to the official documentation on the Android Developer website about accessing application resources (opens new window).

Starting in Titanium SDK 7.3.0, this API exposes all Android related R classes for the usage in Hyperloop. For example, it can be used to access menu resources as part of native user interfaces, e.g. BottomNavigationView or RecyclerView. See an example in the Hyperloop Sample App (opens new window) for details!

# bubbleParent

Availability
3.0.0
bubbleParent :Boolean

Indicates if the proxy will bubble an event to its parent.

Some proxies (most commonly views) have a relationship to other proxies, often established by the add() method. For example, for a button added to a window, a click event on the button would bubble up to the window. Other common parents are table sections to their rows, table views to their sections, and scrollable views to their views. Set this property to false to disable the bubbling to the proxy's parent.

# fireEvent

Availability

# removeEventListener

Availability
1.5
removeEventListener(name, callback) void

Removes the specified callback as an event listener for the named event.

Multiple listeners can be registered for the same event, so the callback parameter is used to determine which listener to remove.

When adding a listener, you must save a reference to the callback function in order to remove the listener later:

var listener = function() { Ti.API.info("Event listener called."); }
window.addEventListener('click', listener);

To remove the listener, pass in a reference to the callback function:

window.removeEventListener('click', listener);

Parameters

Name Type Description
name String

Name of the event.

callback Callback<Titanium.Event>

Callback function to remove. Must be the same function passed to addEventListener.

Returns

Type
void
