I’m trying to build a home screen which will list out all the navigation options. Button 1 will go to Tab 1 with its corresponding layout and components, Button 2 to Tab 2 etc. I read the documentation and got some bits and pieces from here and there, but am not able to get it to work. The Glide C…

On the tabs menu, put the home tab under the Tabs category and turn off the option to show tab labels. Then put all other tabs under the Hidden Tabs, this will cause the user to only use the home tab to navigate. On the layout menu, choose the image component to create your button and then use the a…

I’m sorry, I’m not an advanced user so I may be missing certain things you are suggesting. In the “Home” tab, what exactly should I have in the spreadsheet that I can create the layout for?

Yes in your spreadsheet there should be a tab called home. On that sheet in the first row would be your headers which will correspond to your navigation buttons. You will use an image as your buttons, you will upload the image into google drive, right click on the image and click on get a shareable…

Thank you. I have kind of figured it out, but I couldn’t get the image uploaded to the Google Drive to work. I used some other random images on the web to test. The layout style would necessarily have to be “Details” for this to work, is that correct? Else I was seeing just the last image URL itsel…

This is my crude test app. https://lcb37.glideapp.io/

Yes, the layout would have to be “Details”. Looks good. When you get a chance I can take a look at your spreadsheet to see what might have gone wrong with the Google Drive image.

Is there a way to make these image buttons dynamic? What I mean to say is that I should be able to control which image-buttons are visible on the Home tab and toggle them on and off based on some setting.

So this is how I’m making the image-buttons dynamic. I retain all the headers in the “Home” tab, but I just leave the image URL blank for the one that I don’t want to show. To remove an image button, I simply have to delete the corresponding URL from under the header and it syncs to the live app qu…

Yes, changing headers requires a rebuild of the app in Glide (Reload Sheet). You should not have to do the Reload Sheet if you are just adding or removing the URL in the rows below the header in the sheet. Sometimes it will sync quickly, which may have happened when you deleted the URL, but other …

Thank you @mmgt2005. I read in some other thread that Google Drive links work only for large images. Mine were small images and that could have been the problem. I put the images on dropbox and it works fine.
