Titanium.UI.iOS.AnchorAttachmentBehavior

proxyiPhoneiPadmacOSsince iPhone 3.2.0, iPad 3.2.0, macOS 9.2.0

Extends Titanium.Proxy

Dynamic behavior to support connections between an anchor point and an item.

An anchor attachment behavior creates a dynamic connection between an anchor point and an item. To define an anchor attachment behavior:

  1. Use the Titanium.UI.iOS.createAnchorAttachmentBehavior method to create a behavior.
  2. Set the anchor and item properties.
  3. Add the behavior to the Animator object.

To create a dynamic connection between two items, use Titanium.UI.iOS.ViewAttachmentBehavior.

Examples

Simple Example

The following example creates a red block and anchors it to a point near the top-center of the window. Using a gravitational force, the red block swings like a pendulum.

var win = Ti.UI.createWindow({backgroundColor: 'white', fullscreen: true});

// Create an Animator object using the window as the coordinate system
var animator = Ti.UI.iOS.createAnimator({referenceView: win});

// Create a red block to animate
var redBlock = Ti.UI.createView({
    backgroundColor: 'red',
    width: 25,
    height: 25,
    top: 10,
    left: 25
});

var WIDTH = Ti.Platform.displayCaps.platformWidth;

// Anchor the red block to a point near the top-center
var anchor = Ti.UI.iOS.createAnchorAttachmentBehavior({
    anchor: {x: WIDTH/2, y: 10},
    item: redBlock
});
animator.addBehavior(anchor);

// Simulate Earth's gravity to allow the pendulum to swing
var gravity = Ti.UI.iOS.createGravityBehavior({
    gravityDirection: {x: 0.0, y: 1.0}
});
gravity.addItem(redBlock);
animator.addBehavior(gravity);

// Start the animation when the window opens
win.addEventListener('open', function(e){
    animator.startAnimator();
});

win.add(redBlock);
win.open();
