This Week in Titanium Mobile: 20 June 2011

This is all the Titanium Mobile news I’ve gathered from the Twittersphere and Interwebs this week.

News

The big news was the launch of Titanium Studio and Titanium Mobile 1.7.  It got press from read write web and infoq as well as some smaller blogs and media:

With the release of Titanium Studio, Appcelerator (for the first time) enables features based on your subscription.  The ‘premium’ version of Studio (with debugging) is only available with an Indie subscription or above.  This has caused a bit of reaction in the community.

Tony Lukasavage was not happy – but check out Kevin Whinnery’s comment for Appcelerator’s reply.  Aaron Saunders also gives his thoughts over at his blog.

Appcelerator updated their sessions for the Codestrong conference. Looks like a wide variety of topics - something for everyone.

Appcelerator was also named as a OnMobile Top 100 Winner.

Scott Schwazhoff (Appcelerator’s VP of Marketing) gave an interview on ‘Where to start with your mobile strategy‘ on untether.tv.  You can signup to be alerted when the full version is posted.

For Android developers: Google has released an official ‘Available in the Android Market‘ graphic.  I’ve always used Robot Media’s version.

Tips

dawsontoth keeps on contributing code.  Check out his Github Gist for Swipe for Android plus Vertical Swipes.

Need AdMob on your Android App?  There’s a project for that.

PDF.js is a full PDF viewer in the canvas element.

Apple’s WWDC announcements were this week in case you somehow missed them. The Appcelerator team got the iOS5 Beta the same time as the rest of us so it will take a while before the new features get scheduled in Titanium Mobile. But you should know that Titanium Mobile does NOT compile with iOS5 Beta so don’t update XCode quite yet.

Appclerator sponsored a story on Wireless Week about cross platform development and app stores.

Soft Gravity released a flurry analytics module for Titanium Mobile.

There is a Titanium Mobile book! But it is in Japanese only.

Tips

Codeboxed put together some nice code to abstract a SQLite database in your Titanium Mobile app.

Olivier Morandi has started blogging at titaniumninja.com with a post on using Intents for sending SMS message on Android.

Pedro Enrique has put together another gist for deleting a row from a table view in android with tap-and-hold. He has quite a nice collection of code building up on github.

Titanium Warehouse has been updating their blog with Titanium mobile tips. I hope they keep it up.

Aaron Saunders has put up a new blog posting demonstrating app structure, how to handle the global namespace and events. Aaron is very active on Stack Overflow and really knows his stuff. You should follow him if you are serious about Titanium Development.

Apps

iVisit is the first iPhone application to support the certification of buildings.

ICD-9-CM is a clinical modification of the World Health Organization’s International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision (ICD-9).
