where is best / most recent table view widget

[dgaedcke]

Guys,
I need a table_view widget that allows me to create LARGER row heights. From looking at docs on the included widget library, it doesn’t seem that is supported and the code is closed-source so I can’t enhance it myself. So where can I pick up the most flexible alternative recommended by the community?

Thanks

You set the row height when you insert the row. Look up

Thanks Rob…I missed that. Probably because it seems weird that you can set EACH row to a different height. Now I know why people are complaining about performance problems with this widget…it can’t possibly use the “create rows when visible / needed” technique because of this. Would you recommend this widget as viable when I’ll have less than about 150 rows?? What’s the max rows where it ceases to be usable?
Thanks again for the feedback.

The current tableView takes care of rendering the rows and de-rendering them when needed under the hood. It does a reasonable job of this.

The new tableViews and new versions of all the other widgets are coming soon. Along with a few other surprises… [import]uid: 84637 topic_id: 34316 reply_id: 136443[/import]

That’s awesome!! Thanks for the info…brings up two questions:

1. will the api be the same as for the existing tableView??
2. if not, can we get docs on the new api or how long is “soon” so I can consider my schedule [import]uid: 6175 topic_id: 34316 reply_id: 136523[/import]

Will this update include the pull to refresh and the load more rows when reaching the end of the list?

@dgaedcke:

1. I am making changes where they are beneficial. I am trying to keep the api as close as possible to the old one however.

2. Docs will be released at the same time as the new/remade widgets land. Soon is soon! Less than a month.

@fac:

Not in the first release, however this functionality is planned ( the pull to refresh ) and will be implemented very shortly after the new/remade widgets are released, that is a promise.

Thanks!

Would love to get an update on the pull to refresh functionality coming to the new tableview widget. Any luck we might see it in the daily builds soon? Promises are promises eh?
