We will provide a custom list sample demo app in the coming days
This is a really nice improvement, do you know when the demo will be ready? and will it contain a custom list including fetch from Dataservice, because for some reason I can’t get that to work. The list keeps showing no data.
I tried everything, both the query builder, binding the fetch to a variable, even copied the expression from a work table activity, keeps displaying “no data”.
Therefor I was suspecting I did something wrong and would check the demo file for additional help.
I have done exactly what is described, but still no luck. However I solved it by deleting the entire page and started all over with a new page, new activity and new setup.
The issues was that no matter how I did the setup, it would only show “No Data” - However I solved it by starting over, and deleting the page including the control and doing a new page and a new custom list.
It’s working now
Must say that it’s a huge improvement and something that I will use extensively.
I was able to replicate the issue, if the height of the custom List control is set to Auto, the list shows “No Data”, as soon as I set the height to fixed the data appears just fine.
I hope the dev team reads this thread and will look into the issue, would assume it’s a bug.
our use-case for the control is between 1 and 20 rows, which I wouldn’t expect to cause performance issues, so the height “auto” is preferrable.
If I set a fixed height, and the number of rows are very few, I end up with blank space underneath (between the custom List and the following controls)
