I am trying to make an accordion list view. When I click the parent folder list item, I want my parent list to be expanded. On clicking again, the list should collapse.
Josh Pucket made an example available in the FB group that should help you get started:

Basically, you need arrays and you always check on other elements if they need to be updated ( either moved / expanded or collapsed )
hope this helps!

I am working on iOS native app and when trying to read from tableView/tableCells I have a problem getting the updated values. At the first time i enter the page/screen I can see all cells. But , if i create an action that adds another cell to the table view when I try to get the list of cells I see an empty list.
Also, When i change a subelement in that cell I can't see the changed sub element both in inspector and in the code.
I tried switching to a different page and also changing tabs in that page and reread the table/cell and subelements but it didn't help.
I've had this issue before. There is no actual reload elements kind of function that I've seen. However a workaround I've found that works is to simply find an element that exists and it'll reload the elements after it does that.
For example:
yourMethodThatLoadsNewElements();
driver.findElementBy(pathToElementThatExistedBefore);
driver.findElementBy(pathToElementThatWasJustLoaded);
In my application, I have a menu that is defined as follows. Each item on the menu is a node that has the following data attributes:
MenuText : (the text that would appear for that item)
isView : Whether this item is a leaf level item or not
subMenus : if isView is false, then there are multiple menu items under this attribute.
Thus, it is a tree structure that can go till any depth. The items in the menu can change periodically and hence the implementation has to be kept flexible. This data is stored in a plist file and read into an NSArray in the code (already implemented).
I now need to create a slide out menu on the left that will be populated by this data hierarchy. I have created the menu pane and added swipe gestures to it, all of which work fine. The menu has to be a collapsible one where clicking on one menu item expands the subViews below it. If the item clicked on is a view, then a new view is loaded on the rest of the screen with appropriate data.
The problem I am facing is the logic to populate the menu (which is a UITableView) from the NSArray data. The following are the two approaches I came up with.
Create a UITableView with as many sections as there are items at the top level of the menu. Then iterate through the menu items recursively. For each menu item that is not a view (i.e. it has subMenus), create a new section with number of rows equal to the number of subMenus under it. When I come across a menu item that is a view and has no further subMenus, add it as a row to the subsection created for the menu one level above it.
Create a menu with one section and as many rows as the number of menu items at the top level. When a menu item is clicked, insert rows under it to represent its sub-menus. When another menu item on the same level is clicked, collapse the previously expanded menu by deleting the inserted rows. When a menu item with no sub menus is clicked, the rest of the screen is populated with data.
I have tried both the approaches and not been able to go beyond the initial steps. For the first method, I understand that I need to add a UITableView as a part of UITableViewCells, which is good, but I need to do that recursively. For the second approach, I need to know the indexPath of each item clicked which can go to many levels.
I would like some suggestions here about which approach I should take and some guidance over how to go about it. Also, if there is any better way to do this, kindly advice. Thanks.
In my opinion, using UINavigationController is the easiest way. You can push as many UITableViews as you want.
If it doesn't fit your design requirement, you can try expandable UITableViews. There are few open sources:
JKExpandTableView
SDNestedTable
iOS-Tree-Component
Thanks for the responses. I ended up doing this using the following control:
Accordion for iOS
It has served my purpose beautifully and I posted it here so that someone with the same requirement may find it.
Take a look at TLIndexPathTools. It has a "Tree" extension that can do this. Try running the Outline sample project. The main task in adapting the sample project would be to write a recursive function to convert your array of nodes into an array of TLIndexPathTreeItem objects. All of the code in the controller:willChangeNode: method is examples of lazy loading and it doesn't sound like you'd need any of that.
I have a tableView with multiple TableViewRow objects, always 4.
When the edit button is clicked the row can be reordered, which is working.
But when the edit button is clicked the elements inside of a row seem to be moved with margins from left and right.
The items in a row should not be moved, so I was hoping someone could tell me how I can make sure the labels inside a row element are not being moved around when edited.
I have included some images, hoping to clarify my question:
Rows when not edited
Rows when edited
The solution was easy, but I didnt know.
The way to achieve this; Add a view to each row and do NOT set the left or right properties.
This way the delete button and move icon are not pushing the inner view away.
Its a default behavior. I dont think there's any way defined in Titanium API to override the moving of inner elements. So you cannot change this default behavior.
I have different list views,
I want to drag and drop of record from one list view to another.
I have seen a link in regarding this,
"http://jsfiddle.net/MZxQu/36/"
I have implemented this in list view,with this I am able to drag the list view content,but I am not able to drop it on another list view.
can u help me
Thanks..
Use this instead of grid it will be better i guess:
http://demos.kendoui.com/web/treeview/dragdrop.html
If I have a a number of elements in one table column and I drag them one at a time to another column utilizing jQuery UI, how do I make remaining items in the first column move up, i.e. fill the gap left by the items that were moved. Assuming table cell valign="top".
I think it has to do something with DOM. It seems that even after I drag the item is it still in the same column.
You might want to use jquery ui's sortable instead.
http://jqueryui.com/demos/sortable/#connect-lists
You can connect lists and anything moved from one list will move the remaining elements to fill any gaps
However you are not giving us any code/markup to work with so I can only guess. Hope this helps!
