Create an overlay for Titanium Mobile TableView - mobile

I'm trying to create a DatePicker that slides in over a TableView in order to edit a date-field. The problem is that the DatePicker appears behind the TableView - you can see a part of it because the TableView is transparent.
I tried giving one a higher zIndex value than the other, both ways, but that didn't help. The datepicker is a picker control in a view, which I slide up with an animation.
How does one overlay a TableView with a different view?
Edit: the table is quite complicated because of the various types of data in it, so copy&paste would be overkill. But here's the relevant part:
var win = Ti.UI.createWindow();
var table = Ti.UI.createTableView({zIndex: 1});
// some table sections are added here
// create picker layer
var row = Ti.UI.createTableViewRow({zIndex: 2});
var picker_view = Titanium.UI.createView({
height: 251,
bottom: -251,
zIndex: 3,
visible: false
});
var picker = Ti.UI.createPicker({
type: Ti.UI.PICKER_TYPE_DATE,
selectionIndicator: true
});
picker_view.add(picker);
row.addEventListener('click', function()
{
picker_view.visible = true;
var slide_in = Titanium.UI.createAnimation({bottom:0});
picker_view.animate(slide_in);
});
row.add(picker_view);
some_section.add(row);
win.add(table);
Thanks!

Try to Add the picker in the window not in table.

dont add the view to the row, add it to the window.
dont set visibility on the view, it is irrelevant since you are sliding it up and down.
also you really are confusing things with the zIndexes, they are not really needed in this use case.

React-slick Slider stays on same page if slides items are changed

I am stuck with an issue with react-slick. The subject line may not make sense, but I will try to explain the scenario in detail. See this example fiddle to see the issue in action.
var DemoSlider = React.createClass({
getSlides(count) {
var slides = [];
for(var i = 0; i < count; i++) {
slides.push((<img key={i} src='http://placekitten.com/g/400/200' />));
}
return slides;
},
render: function() {
var settings = {
dots: false,
infinite: false,
slidesToShow: 3,
slidesToScroll: 3
}
var slides = this.getSlides(this.props.count);
return (
<div className='container'>
<Slider {...settings}>
{ slides }
</Slider>
</div>
);
}
});
In this demo, initially the slider shows 20 slides (3 per page). The idea is that if you click the button, it will generate a random number, which would be the new number of slides. The code is fairly simple and self-explanatory.
To reproduce the problem,
1. keep on clicking Next arrow until you reach the last slide.
2. click on the button that says 'Click' to generate a new random number of slides.
My expectation was that the slide will go back to the first slide but not to stay on the page where it previously was. Even worse, if the new number of slides is lower than the previous number, the user will see a blank page with no slides. On clicking Previous error, he/she can go to the previous slides, and everything works normally but the initial display ruins the user experience.
Is there something I am missing to add in the code, or is this a bug?
Thanks,
Abhi.
I would say it is rather a buggy behavior, but still you can achieve what you want by forcing a redraw after new collection has been passed as props, by resetting react's key:
<DemoSlider key={Date.now()} count={this.state.count}/>
UPDATED FIDDLE
Quick workaround: When you change to a new set of slides, remove the component, and reconstruct it again. It would then start with the first slide. You can do this by incrementing the key attribute of DemoSlider.
For a proper fix, you'd need to tell the component to change the 'current slide', so that it's not looking at a slide index beyond the end, but a casual look at the source at https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/react-slick/0.11.0/react-slick.js suggests it currently does not allow this. A change would need to be made to InnerSlider.componentWillReceiveProps() to check state.currentSlide against props.slidesToShow and state.slideCount.
It would also benefit from allowing currentSlide to be passed as props.

Bootstrap dropdown in column header

I've been trying to use the ng-grid 3.0 (ui-grid). I have managed to populate my grid and it's been very responsive and it's features are really amazing. But I'm trying to customize my column headers, as I need more info there.
I can create a custom header cell template, as indicated in the docs, but I don't seem able to use a Bootstrap Dropdown there, it gets cropped and I can't use it at all. Some googling got me thinking it is probably some issue with the overflow attributes, but still I can't solve it. My grid options is as follows:
$scope.columnDefs = [
{ name:'name', displayName: 'Vdd', headerCellTemplate: 'headerTemplate.html' },
{ name:'gender', headerCellTemplate: 'headerTemplate.html' },
{ name:'company' }
]
$scope.gridOptions = {
columnDefs: $scope.columnDefs,
rowTemplate: 'rowTemplate.html',
data: 'data'
};
I have forked an example in plunkr and managed to reproduce my issue:
http://plnkr.co/edit/qdrFiifiz18fxB8w6Aja?p=preview
I want to replace the built-in dropdown menu (since it doesn't seem to allow nesting and sub-menus) and add another one (so in the end, I'd have two dropdown menus in each header cell)
Any help is appreciated =)
I am proud to say I think I've figured it out. I've been digging through ui-grid's source code and narrowed it down to this block (lines: 2847 - 2852).
function syncHorizontalHeader(scrollEvent){
var newScrollLeft = scrollEvent.getNewScrollLeft(colContainer, containerCtrl.viewport);
if (containerCtrl.headerViewport) {
containerCtrl.headerViewport.scrollLeft = gridUtil.denormalizeScrollLeft(containerCtrl.viewport,newScrollLeft, grid);
}
}
I noticed that containerCtrl.headerViewport.scrollLeft was never getting set to newScrollLeft. A quick google search led me to this StackOverflow thread which says that you can't set the scrollLeft property of an element if it's overflow is set to visible.
My solution was to replace containerCtrl.headerViewport.scrollLeft = gridUtil.denormalizeScrollLeft(containerCtrl.viewport,newScrollLeft, grid); with containerCtrl.headerViewport.style.marginLeft = -gridUtil.denormalizeScrollLeft(containerCtrl.viewport,newScrollLeft, grid) + 'px'; which just sets a negative margin on the header. Then add an overflow:hidden; style to .ui-grid-render-container-body to hide headers that extend beyond the main grid viewport.
Doing this messed up the placement of column menus, but there is an easy fix. On line 514 replace var containerScrollLeft = renderContainerElm.querySelectorAll('.ui-grid-viewport')[0].scrollLeft; with var containerScrollLeft = renderContainerElm.querySelectorAll('.ui-grid-viewport')[0].style.marginLeft; to use the margin instead of the scroll value in the menu placement calculation.

AngularJS : ui-grid: dynamic expandableRowHeight

ui-grid's expandable row feature works great if every parent row has the same number of subrows in its subGrid, and therefore the same height. Not so great if the number of subrows in the subGrid varies from row-to-row of the parent.
I've been able to get the subGrid ITSELF to have a dynamic height by passing in the array length and using that to generate a subGrid-height:
lengthOfList: data[i].friends.length
style="height:{{row.entity.subGridOptions.lengthOfList * 30}}px;
But since that subGrid has to live WITHIN the parent grid, the parent grid needs to push its rows down to make room. And it needs to do so by a different amonut for each row. Unfortunately the parent grid has a single, fixed expandableRowHeight for ALL rows. I can't specify the expandableRowHeight for EACH row.
Best I can hope for is to alter the expandableRowHeight on-the-fly, as I click on a row to open it.
Trying to figure out how to listen for the open expandable row event.
ui-grid is a shrink-wrapped plugin that writes it own DOM elements, so I have no way of adding anything to the elements that might help me capture events on them.
How can I configure the expandableRowHeight on-the-fly?
Plunker:
http://plnkr.co/edit/1IeEsXZAf9pRgKmy5jfO?p=preview
(The plunker is misbehaving. 1] A font that ui-grid is using is now blocked due to cross-domain issues, 2] sometimes the html template goes AWOL for no discernible reason.)
Ah. I found the gridApi. So this solution works!
$scope.gridOptions = {
onRegisterApi: function(gridApi) {
gridApi.expandable.on.rowExpandedStateChanged($scope,function(row){
$scope.gridOptions.expandableRowHeight = row.entity.mySubRowItems.length * 30;
});
}
}
I'm sure there's a way of referring to the row's parent grid directly. Instead of $scope.gridOptions, there's surely some row $parent reference, I just haven't found it yet.
As an update for 3.0.0 stable there is a rowExpandedBeforeStateChanged event. If you use rowExpandedStateChanged then your grid won't update w/ the new expandableRowHeight you're trying to set.
$scope.gridOptions.onRegisterApi = function(gridApi) {
// dynamic expandable rows
gridApi.expandable.on.rowExpandedBeforeStateChanged($scope, function(row) {
$scope.gridOptions.expandableRowHeight = 30 + row.entity.valueArray.length * 30;
});
};
Finally got this sorted, the important thing to know is that the expandable row has a row height, and a sub (expandable) grid size height inside that row, so if you need to display the grid to fit exactly inside the row, you need to set both heights to the same dynamic size.
Inside your top level grid api you need to specify :
$scope.gridOptions = {
onRegisterApi: function(gridApi) {
gridApi.expandable.on.rowExpandedStateChanged($scope, function (row) {
row.expandedRowHeight = (row.entity.subGridOptions.data.length * rowHeight) + headerHeight;
});
});
}
}
but now u use the expandedRowHeight variable from ui-grid version 3.0.0+, not available in 2+, the expandableRowHeight does not seem to have any affect, but might be used to set the global value for expandedRowHeight. (Note the different naming of these 2 variables on the grid)
Now this will size your top Grid row to display your sub grid correctly.
In the expandableRowTemplate.html for the sub grid u need to specify the height dynamically of the sub grid using the css style:
<div ui-grid="row.entity.subGridOptions" style="height:{{(row.entity.subGridOptions.data.length * rowHeight) + headerHeight}}px" ui-grid-auto-resize></div>
this works very well for me currently, and might help someone out there.
Note that it could also help to investigate the ui-grid-autoresize directive now in ui-grid 3+, apparently this helps in accomplishing this, not 100% sure if I used it correctly, but it works
This is how it works, I checked other people's solution, they all not working
Let's assume that the headerRowHeight is 39px.
The template should be something like this :
'<div ui-grid="row.entity.subGridOptions" ng-style="{height: (row.entity.youList.length * row.entity.subGridOptions.rowHeight) + 39 + \'px\'}" ui-grid-selection ui-grid-edit ui-grid-cellnav ui-grid-validate ui-grid-auto-resize ui-grid-resize-columns></div>'
The rowExpandedStateChanged should be this:
gridApi.expandable.on.rowExpandedStateChanged($scope, function (row) {
$timeout(function() {
row.expandedRowHeight = row.entity.youList.length * row.entity.subGridOptions.rowHeight + 39;
}, 150);
});
I tried a different approach to the solution using CSS alone instead of leveraging the "expandableRowHeight" property. And this worked for me.
The parent grid data is rendered inside a div with class name "ui-grid-canvas". Add the following style -
.ui-grid-canvas{
height: auto !important;
overflow: auto !important;
}
For expanded child table, add a style to div with class name "expandableRow"
.expandableRow{
height: auto !important;
}
Also, do not set the "expandableRowHeight" property in gridOptions.

Sencha Touch 1.1: Setting Panel properties after selecting item in List

I'm using Sencha Touch 1.1. I have a Ext.List and when the user selects an item, I switch to the details page using
rootPanel.setActiveItem('details');
That works fine. Now I want to get the details of the selected item and populate properties in the 'details' panel. How do I do that?
At the moment I'm passing the record around to the various panels of the details page by using this code:
onItemDisclosure: function (record) {
// user has selected a Country from the Country List.
// TODO: There must be a better way to pass the data around
CountryDetailsToolbar.setTitle(record.data.title);
var upperData = { upper: record.data.title.toUpperCase()};
CountryDetailsHeaderLeft.update(upperData);
CountryDetailsHeaderMonth.update(record.data);
viewport.setActiveItem('CountryDetailsCarousel');
}
This seems a bit messy to me. Is there a cleaner way to set titles and update panels with the data "record"?
you can use rootPanel.getActiveItem() to get instance of currently selected panel, i am not sure about what do you mean by populate properties in the details tab
Update:
i think there isn't any problem in passing record data between panels, i think that is the most efficient way
onItemDisclosure: function (record) {
// user has selected a Country from the Country List.
var title = record.get('title');
CountryDetailsToolbar.setTitle(title);
CountryDetailsHeaderLeft.update({ upper: title.toUpperCase() });
CountryDetailsHeaderMonth.update(record.data);
viewport.setActiveItem('CountryDetailsCarousel');
}

How to hide rows in ExtJS GridPanel?

Suppose I know which row index to target (with this.rowToBeDeleted having a value of 2, say), how can I hide this row only from the grid but not the store (I have a flag in the store, which signifies what rows should be deleted from the db later in my PHP webservice code).
You can either use one of the store.filter() methods or you can hide the row element.
grid.getView().getRow(rowIndex).style.display = 'none';
I think it's much better though to just remove the record from the store and let the store update the view since you are deleting the record and not just hiding it. With the store in batch mode (the default: batch: true, restful: false), it will remember which rows you've removed and won't fire a request to the server until you call store.save().
I suggest using store.FilterBy() and pass a function to test the value of the value in rowToBedeleted:
store.filterBy(function(record) {
return record.get("rowToBeDeleted") != 2;
});
I wrote a basic blogpost about gridfiltering a while ago, you can read it here: http://aboutfrontend.com/extjs/extjs-grid-filter/
In ExtJS 4.1, there is no view.getRow(..). Instead you can use:
this.view.addRowCls(index, 'hidden');
to hide the row at the specified index, and
this.view.removeRowCls(index, 'hidden');
to show it (where 'this' is the grid).
CSS class hidden is defined as
.hidden,
{
display: none;
}
This is useful for peculiar scenarious where store.filterBy() is not appropriate.
In the grid js file write following code to apply a CSS to those rows which you want to hide.
<pre><code>
Ext.define('MyGrid',{
extend : 'Ext.grid.Panel',
xtype : ''mygrid',
viewConfig : {
getRowClass : function(record,id){
if(record.get('rowToBeDeleted') == 2){
return 'hide-row';
}
}
},
.................
.................
});
</code></pre>
Now define a custom CSS in custom.css file:
.hide-row{display:none}
This will hide rows in grid without removing or filtering from store.
You can use the store.filter() or store.filterBy() methods for that.
Set a "hidden" property on your records and the filter all records that have hidden set to true for example. This way they'll still be present in the store but not visible in the grid.
