I have a rest service that is successfully acquiring data via GET. I've got a panel, that I've placed a link object into. I've mapped the rest data to the panel and link object.

The rest data consists of a title and a url. Tiggzi allows me to map the rest title to the text attribute on the link object, and will display 20 results properly (for example). But it won't map the rest urls properly. I can get the rest urls to display, if I map them to the text attribute instead of using the rest title data. But nothing will map properly to the link object's url (I can only show plain text, no connected urls).

Any help on this would be appreciated.

Never mind on this.

I've wasted three days on Tiggzi. It's a terrible product with very poor documentation. Half the attributes are undocumented.

Why in the world does Android flicker to begin with, such that it needs a custom javascript to attempt to correct it? The only logical answer is Tiggzi is a bad platform.

Why can't you just loop out 50 link objects, instead of having to place them in a panel? They could easily have their own self contained attributes that would make that possible. Nowhere in any documentation is any limitation on the link object spelled out, users are left to fumble around to figure it out.

Why can't you directly map rest data to individual grid cells when the grid is contained within a panel?

Why does the panel spacing act completely retarded when you use a div setting for it? No matter what settings you pick for it.

Why can't you do something extraordinarily simple like create a tab / nav component? That's one of the more obvious things any interface designer would think to do. It's a feature demand that dates back to the first server side includes on the web... you know, 17 years ago.

I'd rather focus on working directly with a solid platform like Sencha, Phonegap or even jQuery Mobile than spend another minute on this clunky and bloated heap.

Sorry you didn't find Tiggzi builder useful...hopefully this makes things more clear.

Tiggzi is an app builder (IDE), it creates apps with jQuery Mobile and PhoneGap. Android flickering is happening because of jQuery Mobile/Android - you would get exactly the same flickering if you didn't use Tiggzi. Search for "Android flickering jQuery Mobile" you will see what what I mean.

If you use jQuery Mobile/PhoneGap in any other IDE, you would be facing similar challenges.

We have a NavBar component which you can use to create tabs:

You can iterate over any number of objects returned from a service call. The way mapping works, you do need to use a grid, a list, a collapsible block, select list, check box, or radio button.

If you show us what exactly you tried to map and what didn't work... we'll help you.
