loading/switching child views inside main view in sencha touch 2

I am creating a Sencha Touch app which has one main view with a left side panel and a top titlebar. In the middle I want to load different different views based on click on left side items. How can I achieve that? If I do Ext.viewport.add(view); it will add new view on top of my main view making main view's left panel not visible.

Thanks in advance

If you don't want to use an Ext.navigation.View an Ext.Container will be enough. Use its add() method to add a child, before adding items you could call removeAll() to remove the existing objects.

Anyway I don't see any reasons for not using Ext.navigation.View which handles for you the card layout and the animations.

You could use a layout like this:

MainView (Ext.Container) layout:hbox
  |_ TitleBar (Ext.TitleBar) docked:top
  |_ LeftPanel (Ext.Container) flex:1
  |    |_ (Ext.Button)
  |    |_ (Ext.Button)
  |_ ContentPanel (Ext.navigation.View) flex:2

You should push views on tap event of the LeftPanel buttons.

I have done this kind of thing before using the Navigation View - http://docs-origin.sencha.com/touch/2.4/2.4.0-apidocs/#!/api/Ext.navigation.View

So you just push or pop views as you require so only one is visible at a time, you can still keep your side bar, and so when you click a side bar item you would perform the push as shown in the docs.
