We are now trying to bring the series of application development using Mozilla Appmaker . We are trying to bring all the components in our series so that everyone will feel easy to learn about it and use for their Application development. Today we would like to give introduction on Basic bricks and how they can be used in the application development.
Basic Bricks are those simple bricks which can be used almost in all the applications. The components in this section are as follows
 |
| Basic Bricks from Appmaker |
- Button
- Counter
- Header
- Image
- Metronome
- Text
It will be most used to show the heading in the page. Here in the Appmaker we can use the header to navigate to the page. From one page to another page with the help of the Header we can easily jump. You can change the Text displayed in the header and this property is called as Label.
It is used to give some text. The difference between the Header and text is that. Header will look bold. And the header is usually center aligned. But the text can be made to have any alignment either left or right or center. We can also change the foreground and background color of the text but for Header it is not possible.
Button is the most useful component and is used Widely and large number of times. It is used to click many times we want. Depending on the click we can set the response. We can change the label for Button, can change Color and we can also set the board cast Value i.e, on Click what value should goto Header or Text area.
This is used to show any image in the application. We can give any source for the Image and can also change the height of the Image.
In some cases we may need to know how many times a click have came. Or how many time a input source has came. The counter has two properties Unit and the Increment value. We can give increment by any number of times.
It is used to give input signals in specific intervals. We can set how many signals should go for a minute. And the increment value.
In our next post we can see how to build application using the above mentioned components. It is awesome to learn and develop apps. Stay tuned.
