Definition

Views are the base layer for designing content in a native mobile app. Unlike pages in a web app, views do not use URLs. You navigate between them using mobile-native navigation methods such as tabs, stacks, and modals.

Key concepts

• Views act as screens within your app.

• You can manage views from the pages dropdown in the editor.

• Navigation between views is handled through actions and the tab bar, not through URL changes.

Adding and editing Views

• Create and manage views from the app interface manager.

• Set a view as a tab item using the checkbox in the view’s settings.

• You can add new tab items via the tab bar editor and link them to existing or new views.

Best practices

• Views should represent logical screens (e.g., Home, Profile, Settings).

• Use stack navigation (Go to view) for contextual screens (e.g., opening a playlist).

• Keep the tab bar visible to indicate navigation context, even when not on a tab item.
