HTML to Attributed String Widget

This widget wraps the HTML to Attributed String Module so you can easily use it in Alloy instead of a <Label /> for cross-browser support for the originally Android-only html attribute.

Get it

• Install via gitTio:

    $ gittio install nl.fokkezb.html2as.widget
  

  giTio will automatically install the HTML2AS module the widget depends on.

• Or download a release, extract it to your app's app/widgets/nl.fokkezb.html2as.widget folder and add the dependency to your config.json:

    {
    	..
    	"dependencies": {
    	    "nl.fokkezb.html2as.widget": "*"
    	    ..
    	  }
    }
  

Use it

index.xml

<Alloy>
	<Window>
		<Widget id="h2a" src="nl.fokkezb.html2as.widget"
			html="<b>Hi</b> <a href='http://google.com'>Google</a>"
			onLink="onLinkHandler"
		/>
	</Window>
</Alloy>

Of course you can also set any property for the widget via index.tss.

index.js

function onLinkHandler(e) {
	alert(e.url);
	
	$.h2a.html = '<b>Bye</b> Google!';
}
