Inputs are mechanisms for displaying and editing input provided by the user.

|
||||
* ``Table``
|
||||
|
||||
Mobile platforms don't provide a native "Table" widget; however, table-like
|
||||
data could be rendered by using a :class:`~toga.DetailedList`, where the
|
||||
title and subtitle are the "important" columns selected by the user, and
|
||||
selecting a row on the table navigates to a sub-page showing the full row
|
||||
detail.
|
||||
|
||||
* ``Tree``
|
||||
|
||||
As with Table, mobile platforms don't provide a native "Tree" widget; however,
|
||||
we could use a similar approach to Table.
|
||||
|
||||
On Windows, the native widget doesn't provide support for more than one column. This
|
||||
means we either need to make a special case on Windows for a "simple" tree; or we need
|
||||
to form a composite widget that pairs the scrolling of a table with a tree.
|
||||
|
||||
* ``DateTimeInput`` - A widget for selecting a date and a time.

||||

New widgets
|
||||
^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
* ``RadioButton`` - a set of mutually exclusive options.
|
||||
|
||||
Functionally, the use case of "select one from a list of options" can be met with a
|
||||
:class:`~toga.Selection`; however, from a UI design perspective, a radio button is a
|
||||
common design pattern.
|
||||
|
||||
See `this issue <https://github.com/beeware/toga/issues/2225>`__ for discussion of how
|
||||
this widget may be implemented in a way that compliments existing widgets.

Other capabilities

------------------
|

One of the aims of Toga is to provide a rich, feature-driven approach to
|
||||
app development. This requires the development of APIs to support rich
|
||||
features.

|
||||
* **Preferences** - Support for saving app preferences, and visualizing them in a
|
||||
platform native way.
|
||||
|
||||
* Notification when updates are available
|
||||
* **Notification** - A mechanism to display popup "toast"-style notifications
|
||||
|
||||
* Easy Licensing/registration of apps - Monetization is not a bad thing, and
|
||||
shouldn't be mutually exclusive with open source.
|
||||
* **System tray icons** - Presenting an icon and/or menu in the platform's system tray -
|
||||
possibly without having a main app window at all.
|
||||
|
||||
* **Licensing/registration** - Monetization is not a bad thing, and shouldn't be
|
||||
mutually exclusive with open source.
|
||||
|
||||
* **Audio** - The ability to play sound files, either once off, or on a loop.
|
||||
|
||||
* **Cloud data access** - Traditional apps store all their files locally; however,
|
||||
using cloud services or network resources is increasingly common, especially in
|
||||
mobile apps. However, accessing cloud-based files can be very complicated; Toga
|
||||
is in a position to provide a file-like API that abstracts accessing these APIs.
|
||||
|
||||
* **QR code scanning** - The ability to scan QR codes and bar codes in an app, and
|
||||
return the encoded data.

Platforms
|
||||
---------
|
||||
|
||||
Toga currently has good support for Cocoa on macOS, GTK on Linux, Winforms on
|
||||
Windows, iOS and Android. Proof-of-concept support exists for single page web
|
||||
apps and consoles. Support for a more modern Windows API would be desirable.
