Titanium - Custom Cards Abstract Bubbles?

Question

Is there a way to customize the display of annotations in Appcelerator Titanium? In particular, I would like them to be able to display more text than they show (ideally, expanding to fit the text). I know that I can make them clickable and bring the user to a page with additional information, but I just don’t have enough information to guarantee this. This is basically just the heading text too long (and I can’t change the text itself, it comes from sources that I don’t control).

Alternatively (when setting up what doesn't exist), is there an easy way to make custom bubbles? I really do not want to reinvent the wheel and rewrite the contacts themselves and their event handlers, but if it comes to naught (and someone can point me to some code that can start me, since I know if this is required , someone did it), then so be it.

IPhone-specific options are good.

Currently, the latest Titanium SDK provides you with the following options for customizing the annotation banner:

• Add subtitles for the bubble option ( subtitle ). You will see additional text under the heading. Android subtitles can be multi-line (using "\ n").
• Add left and right views to the bubble ( leftView \ rightView options ). You can add a custom view to the left or right of the bubble. And the presentation may consist of different elements (labels, images ...).

If this is enough for your task, you can use it. But for deeper customization, you must create your own view and show it on the annotation click event.
