Caching remote images

Did you know that since Titanium 3.1 remote images are cached automatically on Android, just like they have always been on iOS? Well, I don’t blame you for not knowing, since the Appcelerator Docs on this very day still preach the best practice of manually caching remote images. I didn’t know either when I made […]

FontAwesomeJS for laziness

All Titanium SDK objects. now expose their class via the new apiName property. So if you would create a button and then log myButton.apiName it would tell you it’s a Ti.UI.Button. […]
