Developing UI Widgets
|
||
|
|
---------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you need to create new UI widgets, `utils/wbuilder.lua` is your friend. It
|
||
|
|
sets up a minimal environment to bootstrap KOReader's UI framework to avoid
|
||
|
|
starting the whole reader. This gives you quick feedback loop while iterating
|
||
|
|
through your widget changes.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To get a taste of how it works, try running this command at the root of
|
||
|
|
KOReader's source tree:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
./kodev wbuilder
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It will spawn up an emulator window with a grid and simple timer widget for
|
||
|
|
demonstration.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can add your own `UIManager:show` show call at the end of
|
||
|
|
`utils/wbuilder.lua` to test your new widget.
