Hi
I've been reading in the group about webviews and their impact on
performance. I think webviews is a great way to easily get info from a
specific url, which my customers can easily update through CMS. I have
a few questions, which I would be really happy if someone could shed
som light on:

As far as I understand, each time WebView is displayed on the device a
webKit instance is added.(correct me if I'm wrong).

-What happens when I close that specific tab or window? is the webKit
instance terminated?
-If not, what happens when I re-enter that tab or window? is another
webKit instance added or is it reusing the same?
-Is webViews a stupid way to solve the problem of dynamically updating
content? Should I take the time to investigate other possibilities?

My app sometimes crashes in the simulator. I think it's due to
webViews..

Thanks for your help
Martin

Martin,

This group is for Titanium design discussions, not app development discussions. Please use http://developer.appcelerator.com/questions

Thanks,
Don

It would be great to have a mailing list (even this one) to also
handle development discussions. For me mailing list format is
preferred to a web based discussion board.

But not products created with Titanium products! :-)

I wouldn't mind development talk on this list as it's a better format
for me than web based discussions.
