I'm developing a Win Store App with MvvmCross. I have some problems with internationalization technique when I have to apply it to a DataTemplate of a GridView or ListView. In these cases it seems it uses only the FallbackValue.
In the same view other TextBlocks are correctly translated, so I think that the Json file is ok. Here a sample of TextBlock that is not translated:
<TextBlock mvx:Bi.nd="Text TextSource, Converter=Language, ConverterParameter=Name, FallbackValue=TestName" />
Has someone already faced this problem?
Yes - i18n does work inside DataTemplates... BUT each template uses its DataContext as its TextSource so you need to expose a mechanism to get to the individual items in your list to also expose the TextSource - just like the VMs do. ListItem wrapping techniques - like in https://stackoverflow.com/a/22696529/373321 may help with this.

Hi I'm trying to play with layouts in nativescript. I was looking at listviews, and I tried this in the playground using the code from the docs (https://docs.nativescript.org/ui/list-view#using-multiple-item-templates).
However, I can't get the listview to display (Playground : https://play.nativescript.org/?template=play-ng&id=nhm5el&v=7). I'm not sure what I'm doing incorrectly for the listview not to be displayed.
Copy/paste error - you have copied the code for your ListView component but at the same time your HomeComponent is empty (and this is where the list view items should be initialized with your DataSerice) - demo here. I would advise against handling multiple components and services in a single file and as a good practice always separate the different components and services in their own files - this way similar error will be much more easier to catch.
I'm pretty new to Dojo and I'm wondering about some best practises for building a MVC application. I know there are modules like dojox/app, but it seems like these are made for more complex applications.
It seems like the best way to go is to make custom page-level controller objects with will handle all the page logic, but I'm not quite sure how to fit this piece in the puzzle. What is the proper way to switch between views and passing through parameters through them following a MVC archtiecture.
I have an overview page with list items, each with their own ID. I want to navigate to another page passing through the corresponding item ID so I can retrieve the details for this item externally. What would be the proper way of doing this?
I could call a method on the corresponding controller (Page1 Controller or Page2 Details controller) directly using a button and passing the listID parameter directly?
Another way of doing this could be by working with transition states and addling listeners in the page controller to forward to the correct page. Although I'm not quite sure how to pass parameters in this scenario..
... any better solutions?
Can anybody shed some light on this? It doesn't seem like there is much documentation/examples on this with the latest versions of dojo (1.9).
Thanks!
I will recommend dojox/app since you are already using dojo mobile.
It's very simple to get started and can be use for simple apps or very complex apps
Take a look at this resources:
https://github.com/csantanapr/dapp-examples/tree/master/dapp-request

I have a website page which I need to replicate in my app (as a reference for anyone that wants to help the url is http://www.sccgformulary.co.uk/gis.html) There is a title, some sub-headings, plenty of text in different sections and a few different tables. The colouring in the background isn't needed.
My question is how would this be implemented in Interface Builder (if it is even possible?) I don't know how to design the layout of a page which extends further than 1 screen. I've done it before programatically - is this the only way to design views which need a scrollview with multiple subviews? any help would be greatly appreciated!
What you are looking for is probably a simple UITableView with a custom UITableViewCell.
You might need some way of feeding data to your application via a web service. JSON is popular. but before you go ahead I suggest you read up on UITableView and look at some similar Apps to find out exactly what you want.
Is it possible to do a KendoUI mobile project, using ASP.net mvc? Watching the introduction on Pluralsight, I'm sort of confused. As an example, KendoUI Mobile uses something like this to navigate:
<a href="#someView" data-role="button">Go to some view</button>
When rendering views through RenderBody in my main layout, will I have to specify this view as a mobile view, or does the application defined in my main layout pick up on this?
So, I guess my question is this; Has anyone got any experience on this combination and, if so, could you provide some resources as to where this combination is being used?
I figured this on out. Seems to be a few projects out there using this combination. One example is this project: KendoUI mobile task manager
That being said, I'll try to play around and tweak the framework to my needs.
The answer is Yes. I was searching for the same answers, and found this resource very helpful, using MVC4, with detailed explanations:
Single Page App using MVC and Kendo Mobile
When searching for references and tutorials, what is not immediately clear is that Kendo UI Mobile is a different setup from Kendo UI. As WhizKid points out it is a single page application, and all your data must go through AJAX.
If you have not used them before, you will probably need to learn Kendo's MVVM and datasources. You must decide what sort of interface you will use for data exchange (eg. WebApi, OData) and fix the routing.
The reason I am going this way is because Kendo comes with good looks, and MVC can help me with localization.
I tried sample example given at this link - Collection View Programming Guide
It is simple and it worked. Considering it as a reference I tried a simple application which will show a collection view of web views with some web page displayed over each web view.
The model class has two properties: NSString *pageName, and NSURL *pageURL.
I then followed each and every step written in tutorial above with required modifications but I was caught in the step -
How to bind web view to collection
view item?
In binding tab it shows three possibilities : Editable, Hidden, Tool tip but none of these is working.
Can anyone suggest me way to accomplish my requirement?
Thanks,

WebView does not expose bindings for the URL (one would think it would, but it doesn't). You'll need to make use of NSCollectionViewItem (create a custom subclass) and update your WebView's URL when its represented object is changed.
The quick start guide you referenced does not show how to use a custom collection view item (it shows a very basic case). You'll need to delve a little deeper into the documentation (and online examples) to achieve your goal.
I would offer one thought to consider regarding your overall goal: WebView is a "heavy" object, so keep your performance expectations realistic regarding creating many of these views.
