Appery().val() has stopped updating selected item in dropdown selector lists

[Jason Cheek]

It started about a few days ago. I thought it was an error in my javascript, but I just tested with a completely blank app. There is a dropdown selector and a button. When the button is clicked it runs this line:

Appery('mobileselectmenu_4').val('Vici');

The highlighted item changes when the dropdown list is displayed in native mode, but the displayed "selected' item does not. The value returned by Appery().val() is correct, however.

I have verified this on 2 desktops, both Win8.1 and Win7, in both the newest IE and FF -- as well as the Appery Tester app on a Samsung Note 2 running Android 4.3

Hello Jason,

We are looking into this question, we'll update as soon as have more information..

Please use .trigger("change") to tell select UI control about value has been changed.

So correct code is:

pre
Appery("mobileselectmenu_4").val("Vici").trigger("change");/pre

This solved the problem! Thank you.

can I pass a variable from local storage instead of a string to change the default select component value?

var current = localStorage.getItem("_accountUserName");

Appery("selectUserDropdown").val(current).trigger("change");

This didn't work for me.

I have the select component being populated from REST and it gives two values. "mark" and "Joe". "Joe" is the last name to populate to it is shown as default. I need to change the Default name to the current user(which is "mark"). The name has to be retrieved from local storage though because the name will change depending on the current user ID.

Hi Matt,

You need invoke this code on "success" event for your service that's populates your select component.

HI,
I had it setup that way originally but it doesn't seem to work for me. The alert shows "mark" like it should but the name joe comes up as the default menu item still.

Hi Matt,

You code looks ok.

Please try this code:

pre

//Note you should replace "mobileselectmenu_10" with your select component name.
var yourSelect = Appery("mobileselectmenu_10");
yourSelect.val("ValueYouNeed");
yourSelect.selectmenu('refresh', true);

/pre

Also if it does not help please give us your app public link and describe steps to reproduce this problem.

Thanks & regards.

Hi, thank you for the response. I used the code you suggested as follows:

This still produced the same results.

Here is my public link:
a rel="nofollow"http://appery.io/app/mobile-frame?src=h ... e=mobile/a

Hit the top left gear to login.
Under Existing User login.
Username: mark
pass: 1234

After the redirect, click the top gear icon again and click "company info"
After that redirect the top left select menu should populate on page show event.
Since you are logged in as "mark", that name should be default but it just shows "Joe".
