Repetitive taps

I needed the right event to react on many repetitive taps. I noticed that click stops firing after some taps, so I did a little test to find the right event to listen to instead.

As the console.log shows, you need singletap ;)

Just so me and you both know from now on... for some reason:

streamer.addEventListener('change', function (e) {

    // This doesn't work
    if (e.state === Ti.Media.AudioPlayer.STATE_PAUSED) doSomeThing();
    
    // This does:
    if (e.state === this.STATE_PAUSED) doSomeThing();

Supporting text shadow for Labels on Android has been a request ever since Titanium 1.7.x. It's now scheduled for 3.2.x, but it probably has been for every version since :)

This small workaround works for 80% of what I need: just a tiny small shadow 1 pixel up or down.

However, you must know that:

It returns a Label in a Label, which is not officially supported.
Any further calls to properties or methods will be on the outer (shadow) label only.
If you use {x:1} as offset, in reality the text will be positioned {left:-1} relative to the shadow.
Because of the former note this workaround will doo only for small offsets.

This gist shows you how to do a slide-down menu in Titanium.

Features:

Toggle using a menu button in the ever-visible navigation bar on the top of the screen
Menu options animating down from under the navigation bar
Hide by swiping the menu options up
Hide by tapping the area below the menu options (being the view covered by the slide-down menu

I guess just like me you like to do alert('My message'); instead of:

Ti.UI.createAlertDialog({
        message: 'My message'
}).show();

But I'd even more like to do alert('My message', 'My title', myCallback); instead of:

If you have a CommonJS module that exposes properties that are expensive to create (e.g. other CommonJS modules or some external resource), you can load them lazy using Object.defineProperty().

	// Alloy doesn't listen to changes, so we do:
	$model.on('change', function (model) {
	$.name.text = model.get('name');
	});
