Hi,

Is there any way to show a dialog on the first startup of the app, but never again? I don't want my first time setup window coming up on every launch!

Thanks!

Hello Curtis,

You may use local storage variable for this purpose, for example. And depending on its value you can show or do not show the dialog. True set by default. And change to false with first start.

Hey Evgene,
Thanks also, is there any way to copy and paste elements of the page you're working on?
Thanks!
Curtis

Hi Curtis,

You can only drag and drop them

If you want to use component of the same design on the different pages, save them as Custom and then use wherever you need

Hi Alena,

OK, thanks for notifying me.

I can't find a way to place in a statement that would say essentially "if my variable is true, show the setup dialog". Could someone enlighten me?

Thanks, it might be a bit of a stupid question!

Curtis,

Let's say you have page pageName where you open dialog dialogName, to do what you what follow these steps:

1. On pageName Load event add Run JS action with code
   pre
   localStorage.setItem('forDialog','true');/pre

2. On dialogName Page show event add Run JS:

   prelocalStorage.setItem('forDialog', 'false');
   /pre

3. Choose event to open dialog, for example on button click. On PageName page add button.

4. On button Click event add Run JS with
   preif (localStorage.getItem('forDialog') == 'true') {
   Appery.navigateTo('dialogName', {transition : 'pop'});
   }
   /pre

Hi Alena,

Thanks so much, this worked! Great service from Appery.io, very pleased!

Nice to hear

Hey again,

After doing extended testing on a real device, I realised that this code actually makes the dialog come up on every app open rather than just the first one. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Curtis

Curtis, this definitely can be done with JS, you can search online for more information.
