## Developing UI widgets ##
|
|
|
|
`tools/wbuilder.lua` is your friend, if you need to create new UI widgets. It
|
|
sets up a minimal environment to bootstrap KOReader's UI framework to avoid
|
|
starting the whole reader. This gives you quick feedback loop while iterating
|
|
through your widget changes. It's also a handy tool for debugging widget
|
|
issues.
|
|
|
|
To get a taste of how it works, try running this command at the root of
|
|
KOReader's source tree:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
./kodev wbuilder
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
It will spawn up an emulator window with a grid and simple timer widget for
|
|
demonstration.
|
|
|
|
You can add more `UIManager:show` call at the end of `tools/wbuilder.lua` to
|
|
test your new widgets.
