Actions

  • Load

    This event is triggered on load Grid View. Hence any action can be defined [for eg: when a Grid View loads like API Call to load data to be shown on cells] This can be configured in "LOAD" event listed under "Action(S)" tab of Grid View control.

  • Table Select Row

    This event is triggered when a row on Grid View is tapped. Any action to be defined when row is tapped can be configured in "Table Select Row" event listed in "ACTION(S)" tab of Table View controls.

  • Table Cell Will Load

    This event is triggered when cell of a Grid View is about to load. Any actions to be performed on Grid View cell load can be configured in "Table Cell Will Load" event listed under "ACTION(S)" tab of Grid View control.Note: This event is used for multiple cell configuration i.e, showing more than one kind of a cell in Grid View.

  • Loaded Susscessfully

    This event is triggered when all rows of Grid View are loaded completely. So any actions to be performed after all cells are loaded, can be configured in "Loaded Successfully" event listed under Grid View control.

  • Delete On Grid Item

    This event is triggered when an item of Grid View is deleted. So any actions to be performed after deeltion of item, can be configured in "Delete On Grid Item" event listed under Grid View control.

Remarks

  • Animation effects

    This feature lets you animate items while user scrolls Grid View to view them. Use “Enable Row Animation” property to enable item animation. You can select the type of animation from “Row Animation Type” property. Here you have wide range to choose from, such as Curl, Fade, Fan, Flip, Helix, Tilt, Wave where Curl is the default one. You can customize the animation using “Animation Duration”, “Row Animation Start Position”, “Animate To Right” and “Animate To Back” properties.

  • Pull to Refresh

    This  feature facilitates Grid View data to be refreshed when user pulls it down and releases. You need to configure “API Call ” action in “Table Pull Refresh” event under Grid View control’s Property-Action window to add this feature.

  • Grid View with Paging

    Pagination lets you load Grid View data in batches. This feature proves to be extremely useful when you need to show large data in Grid View. Using this you can load relatively less amount of data on startup. This increases startup loading speed and populates the grid with data, faster. To add this feature you need to configure “Trigger Data Source(API Call)” action in “Table Load Next Page” event under Grid View control’s Property-Action window.

  • Sectional Grid

    Sectional Grid View is for displaying Grid data divided into sections. You can configure sectional grid using, “Sections Enable” and “Section Key” properties. You can also customise sections using, “Section Header View ID”, “Section Header Color”, “Section Header Background Image”, “Sectional Data is Single Character” and “Section Corner Radius Enable” properties.

  • Grid View with item delete

    This feature lets you add delete button to grid view item when user long presses on it. You need to enable “Enable Delete On Long Press” or “Enable Deletion Of All Tiles On Long Press” property. Configure “Delete On Grid Item” event for performing any actions on deletion of grid item.

  • Dynamic Height for Grid View

    Grid View height is set to dynamic by enabling “Dynamic Height Enable” property,  i.e, Grid View height will be set in run time based on number of items it contains. Grid height will be set by adding height of each row or column of items(based on scroll direction enabled). It will be set to a value minimum of row height sum and height set in “Height” property of Grid View.

  • “No data” representation view

    Configure.IT provides you this feature of showing a view to indicate user that there is no data available to display using “Empty Data Representation View ID” property. You need to set control to “Empty Data Representation View ID” property, which you want to show when there is no data available to show in Grid View. This reduces the overhead of configuring “Change Object Properties” >> “Hidden” action explicitly by checking response of API.
