What do you need help with?

API

• The data is populated in the Table View, however it displays only 1 country. How do I display all?

  This can be taken care of via API configuration. You would have selected records as 1 and that’s the reason it displays only one record. You are required to select maximum records. Follow the below mentioned procedure: For the API flowchart, when you double click on “Query” - a pop-up will occur. There you will find an option for Maximum Records. From the drop down - select "All" Do not forget to “Save”.

• I have used SQLite database for Table View. But when I view it via Preview IT on my iPhone, there is no record displayed. Why so?

  When you are fetching the data from SQLite, you need to define the action “Local API Call” Whereas API call will suffice in case of MySQL.

• How to display/insert image on app via Configure.IT?

  Using Image View control. For showing a static image set “Image” property of Image View control and if you want to display an image from API, set “Key Name To Data” property to a key of the API which returns an image URL.

• How do I set an image or a picture?

  For showing a static image set “Image” property of Image View control and if you want to display an image from API, set “Key Name To Data” property to a key of the API which returns an image URL.

• I am unable to connect API to display data in Table View, where am I wrong?

  Make sure to select 'key name to data'. You can configure the same from Property Action window of the control Label in the Table cell under Table View. Select ‘mc_country’ from the drop down menu [for the country list to populate].

• I've created a sample project with 1 single screen and a Table View with 1 label field. I have used SQLite database. But when I view it via Preview IT on my iPhone, there is no record displayed. Why so?

  When you are fetching the data from SQLite, you need to define the Action “Local API Call” And when MySQL database is used, the Action would be defined as API Call.

• The data is populated in the Table View, however it displays only 1 country. How do I display all?

  This can be taken care of via API configuration. You would have selected records as 1 and that’s the reason it displays only one record. You are required to select maximum records. Follow the below mentioned procedure: 1. For the API flowchart, when you double click on “Query” - a pop-up will occur. 2. There you will find an option for Maximum Records. 3. From the drop down - select "All" 4. Lastly,do not forget to “Save”.

• Can I show picker data in multiple components?

• Picker view displays data in different order than what we get from API. What do I do for solving this issue?

  This is not an issue. By default, Configure.IT provides a feature that whatever data is displayed in Picker view, it gets sorted and displayed to look in better order. However if you do not need this feature, there is a property for Picker view called "Disable Values Sorting". Enable this property, Picker values will be displayed in same order as retrieved from API.

• Picker view is not populating data even after connecting to API? Why?

  Make sure you have added “API Call” action in “Load” or “Click” event of Picker View, if you have configured “API Call” action in “Click” event then you have to enable “Should Picker DataSource Load After Click” property. And also “Key Name To Data” property is mandatory if your as loading picker data from API, make sure you set a valid key from API response as “Key Name To Data”.

• Why are options in picker not displayed in order they are received from API?

  By default, Configure.IT provides a feature that whatever data is displayed in Picker view, it gets sorted and displayed to look in better order. However for any user if they do not need this feature, there is a property for Picker view called "Disable Values Sorting". You can enable it to avoid sorting of picker data.
