NOTE: This is a Swift-based version of the SimpleView sample.
This example shows you how to use CoronaView as the root view of the app. This is useful if you want to use CoronaViews in a manner similar to how plain Corona SDK/Corona Enterprise projects are setup.
In order for any CoronaCards project to work, you must put a valid license.ccdata
file into the Corona
folder (near main.lua
), otherwise you'll get a black screen and error message in the console.
The CoronaView is instantiated just like any normal UIView. A CoronaView
is paired with an instance of CoronaViewController
.
This example sets up the CoronaViewController
as the root view controller of the app.
The contents of the CoronaView
are determined via Lua. In this project, the CoronaView
is told to look for Lua files in the Corona
subfolder of the .app bundle.
NOTE: The Xcode project is setup to automatically copy the contents of SimpleView/Corona
to a Corona
subfolder in the destination .app bundle, so you are free to modify/add/delete the Lua files as well as other asset files.
CoronaCards.framework is written in Obj-C/C++. In order to make CoronaCards available to Swift, the following changes were performed after creating this Xcode project using the 'Single View Application' project template:
- Set
CoronaCards-BridgingHeader.h
as the 'Objective-C Bridging Header' - Add
CPlusPlusLinkage.cpp
as an empty stub file to ensure C++ libraries are linked. - Add frameworks and libraries required by CoronaCards.framework
- Modify
ViewController.swift
to subclass from CoronaViewController - Modify
Main.storyboard
:- Set
ViewController
as the class for the UIViewController object - Set
CoronaView
as the class for the main UIView
- Set
The sample expects CoronaCards.framework
to be installed at /Users/Shared/CoronaLabs/ios/CoronaCards.framework
.
