Hello, I was able to get the 'Building RSS mobile app' tutorial to work, but would like to know how to extend it to allow a scrolling screen of data sets (Image, Title, Summary) for the entire list of results?.
For example if my RSS feed has 42 data results, I would like to display all 42 results in a single view and just have the user scroll down the page to view the results and click thru to a detailed page.
.
Hello,
Scrolling should be available by default.
Thanks for the reply.
I would like to see the results of an entire RSS feed in a single scrollable view.
you are referencing a single page return from the feed. I'm looking for a solution that will display 10 or 20 iterations.(pages)
Hello,
So, you just need to reduce the height of the grid so that 10-20 items fit ... Or maybe you mean something else?
My apologies. I'm not getting my point across.. I think the easiest way to describe it is I'm trying to mimic a blog posting with each unique iteration of my data appearing in vertical view. Similar to the carousel widget but done vertically. Wpcentral has the web view that I'm thinking in my app (as an example) http://m.wpcentral.com/
Phillip,
If I understand you correctly you want to do pagination.
Please read this tutorial: http://docs.appery.io/tutorials/build...
Thanks for the reply. This is what I'm trying to accomplish.
How do you implement pagination with a live XML feed? I only see an option for downloaded .csv file and not a URL referencing a live XML RSS File.
Your xml feed should have some limit-offset or pagination parameters. Please verify it's provider in your feed .
And you have to pass these parameters to the service in accordance to the current page.
Other way(if feed does not support pagination parameters) you can use some "generic security context" to modify your response and implement pagination parameters.
See more about it here: http://docs.appery.io/documentation/g...
Thanks for the reply.
Still not quite there with this question, I appreciate your patience.
Here is what I'm after:
I have a blog that I will export out as XML. The blog will have 20 entries that include the following elements:
o Title
o Summary
o Description
o Image
I want to have a scrolling reader 'list' in my app (Just a long list, no UI controls for next) that shows all 20 blog posting. The user will simply scroll down to see additional content. When clicking the ' blog story' it will populate a new page with 'description' content.
the XML file needs to be referenced on a share or cloud storage, but it needs to be kept as an updatable standalone file. (not part of the local database.)
When finished with my app, it should have a similar look and feel as this site:

Hi Phillip,
Good news. Your goals are simple.
It remains to understand how to implement it.
So, first please try this simple tutorial: http://docs.appery.io/tutorials/build...
This tutorial has main common parts with application you want to implement.
Also you need to create service. In the url you have to set your xml file url. And set "xml" as "Data type". See details here: http://prntscr.com/36jfup/direct
