In Alloy Titanium, I can access XML elements with their id $.element_id but what if the element_id is a variable in the controller how i can get it. for example, what i want to do is something like this :
var x = 'y';
$.x.open();
where x is an id for element in the view.
In such case you simply have to reference the view in a different way.
there you go:
var x = 'y';
$[x].open();
Let me know when this works-out for you.
