Menu based navigation in Appcelerator Titanium that supports the use of the "Back" button to go back a view.

AndroidMenuNavigation.js

// this is your app.js

    backgroundColor: '#fff',
    url: 'mainwindow.js',
    exitOnClose: true
}).open();

window1.js

var winIndex = 1;
var win = Ti.UI.currentWindow;

win.add(Ti.UI.createLabel({ text: 'I am Window ' + winIndex, top: 0, right: 0, bottom: 0, left: 0 }));

window2.js

var winIndex = 2;
var win = Ti.UI.currentWindow;

win.add(Ti.UI.createLabel({ text: 'I am Window ' + winIndex, top: 0, right: 0, bottom: 0, left: 0 }));

window3.js

var winIndex = 3;
var win = Ti.UI.currentWindow;

win.add(Ti.UI.createLabel({ text: 'I am Window ' + winIndex, top: 0, right: 0, bottom: 0, left: 0 }));

wow, very nice. This is exactly what Im looking for. Do you know how can I change the color of the selected menu item text?
Thanks
Frank

Really nice, How can I open windows[2] from windows[1]?

Regards.
