Can I navigate to a screen by selecting an item from a dropdown menu?

[BrunaVieiraPDT]

Hi, I'm trying to make a dropdown menu with options of screens(app's), that when the name is selected you'll navigate to that specific screen. For a while now I've been searching for a solution and found someting about creating a collection first. If so, how can I make one just for this task?

Hi

Yes you can,

Simply insert a dropdown with the values you want as items, then go to the OnChange property and add something like that :

If(Dropdown1.Selected.Value = "2"; Navigate(Screen2;ScreenTransition.Cover)) or with a switch case 🙂

Hope it helps

Hi @BrunaVieiraPDT 

Can you try to use below expression:

Dropdown -> Items -> ["Screen1","Screen2","Screen3"]

OnChange -> Switch(Dropdown1.Selected.Value,"Screen1",Navigate(Screen1),"Screen2",Navigate(Screen2),"Screen3",Navigate(Screen3),Navigate(App.ActiveScreen))

This will Navigate to selected Screen. Make sure you update the screen names as per your application. Also, the names passed in Items should be same as those passed in Switch statement.

Hope this Helps!

Thank you once again @yashag2255 !!!! Build an app without knowing much is really hard

As you mentioned "Navigate(App.ActiveScreen))"

Where do I get the "APP" from App.ActiveScreen?

because it showed an error.

Thank you.

Hey @Katrinnila29_ 

Navigate(App.ActiveScreen) refers to the current screen that user is on. This is passed as the default value in the switch case. Can you share more details about the error message that you are getting, so that we might be able to help you better?

Hope this Helps!

I forgot what the error message was, but I try another way to navigate my screen.

still using dropdown,and I use "Navigate" instead of "Switch" and it works well.

Thank you for the information.

Have a great day! 😄
