iPhone-Style Password Inputs with Appcelerator Titanium
Most mobile applications ask you for your credential so that they may verify your account and pull information via an API. My mobile application is no different. The problem I ran into was that I couldn't find the method by which to emulate the iPhone's password field behavior. Luckily a quick search gave me the answer:
// Create the text field
var formElement = Titanium.UI.createTextField({
value: "",
width: 100,
height: "auto",
hintText: "Password",
passwordMask: true
});
Setting the passwordMask property to true provides the true iPhone-style password masking that I desired. Now all but the last letter in the password are properly hidden!
