How to design page view navigation for mobiles using app-UI plugin?
The purpose of this article is to give interactive user interface components for a mobile design by using app-UI plugin. Here we will be looking into various types of navigation views for web pages.
The plugin helps mobile developers creating applications using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
Please download the required pre-compiled file from the link and save it in your working folder for implementation. Please take care of proper file paths while including in your source codes.
Basic Example: The following demonstrates the basic HTML web page structure for page view navigator using the app-UI plugin.
HTML
<!DOCTYPE html><html> <head> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1, user-scalable=no"/> <script src="src/libs/jquery-1.7.1.js"></script> <script src="src/libs/jquery.animate-enhanced.js"> </script> <!-- library files for view navigator --> <link rel="stylesheet" href="src/viewnavigator/viewnavigator.css" type="text/css" /> <script src="src/viewnavigator/viewnavigator.js"> </script> <script> $(document).ready( function() { // Setup the default view var defaultView = getView(); defaultView.backLabel = null; // Setup the ViewNavigator window.viewNavigator = new ViewNavigator('body'); window.viewNavigator.pushView( defaultView ); }); function pushView() { // Create a view and push it onto // the view navigator var view = getView(); window.viewNavigator.pushView( view ); } function popView() { // pop a view from the view navigator window.viewNavigator.popView(); } function getView() { // Create a view descriptor with random content var bodyView = $('<h3>Basic navigator using app-UI plugin</h3>' + '<div>' + '<hr><li href="#" onclick="pushView()" class="viewNavigator_backButton"> push view</li> <li href="#" onclick="popView()" class="viewNavigator_backButton">pop view</li><hr>' + getPageContent() + '</div>'); var links = bodyView.find('a'); return { title: "Default View " + parseInt(Math.random()*1000), backLabel: "Back", view: bodyView }; } function getPageContent() { var result = ""; for ( var i = 0; i < 8; i ++ ) { result += "Python is a high-level, general-purpose and a very popular programming language. Python programming language (latest Python3) is being used in web development, Machine Learning applications, along with all cutting edge technology in the Software Industry.Python Programming Language is very well suited for Beginners, also for experienced programmers with other programming languages like C++ and Java. <hr>" } return result; } </script> </head></html> |

Example 2: The following code demonstrates multiple instances of page view navigator. Refer to the output for better understanding.

Example 3: The following example demonstrates the split navigation view for any web page using the app-UI plugin.
