//# Text View Clock //Here we will create a completely working clock using Text Views! //Different positioning and scaling options are presented in this example //as well as how to update text views dynamically after creation. import device; import ui.TextView as TextView; exports = Class(GC.Application, function () { this.initUI = function () { this.style.backgroundColor = "#FFFFFF"; //Create the header bar. var title = new TextView({ superview: this.view, buffer: false, autoFontSize: true, x: 50, y: 20, height: device.height * .10, width: this.view.style.width - 100, size: (device.height * .05) | 0, text: "Text View Clock", color: "#888888", backgroundColor: "#D8D8D8", outlineColor: "#000000", verticalPadding: 5, horizontalPadding: 20 }); // Create a TextView to hold the date var dateTextView = new TextView({ superview: this.view, buffer: false, autoFontSize: true, x: 50, y: title.style.y + title.style.height + device.height * .05, height: device.height * .25, width: this.view.style.width - 100, size: (device.height * .07) | 0, wrap: true, text: "Date\n", color: "#FF8888", backgroundColor: "#DDDDDD", outlineColor: "#000000", verticalPadding: 5, horizontalPadding: 20 }); // Create a TextView to hold the time var timeTextView = new TextView({ superview: this.view, buffer: false, autoFontSize: true, x: 50, y: dateTextView.style.y + dateTextView.style.height + 40, height: device.height * .3, width: this.view.style.width - 100, size: (device.height * .06) | 0, wrap: true, text: "Time\n", color: "#4488FF", outlineColor: "#000000", verticalPadding: 5, horizontalPadding: 20, backgroundColor: "#D0D0D0" }); // Check what the date / time it is every half second, and // adjust date and time appropriately within the text views. // Make sure we don't miss a second! setInterval(bind(this, function() { var date = new Date(); dateTextView.setText("Date\n" + date.toLocaleDateString().replace(/\//g, ' / ')); timeTextView.setText("Time\n" + date.toLocaleTimeString()); }, 500)); } }); //Place this in the `Application.js` file of your project and you should see something like the following screenshot. //many textviews screenshot
