Bug Fixes

Changes

No. I think you should go with custom search bar as you can modify and make it according to your needs.
Many guides are available for making search bar. You should search on community.
One is here

Another good extension from Sumit. Really thank you for your contribution to Kodular. At every stage we are all getting benefit of you and making work simpler… :+1: :+1: :+1: :heart:

(Is there anyway to shffle the list items upon clicking a button with this extension?)

Sumit? :sweat_smile:

There is no direct way to shuffle items. However, There are blocks to move and update item. You can easily shuffle the items with the help of them.


I am confused why people still downloading older version when new version is better. :neutral_face:

Hi everyone
I was using Colin Tree list view extension before this, but in my application I have to show many users and my phone hangs when I load a lot of data in Colin tree, But when I get to know that @iamwsumit has made a fantastic extension then I tired to use it. I found a lot of advantages in this

  1. Loading Image in couple of seconds

  2. Working very smoothly in low to low end device

  3. Cropping image to circle

And to be frank I tired to make a list of 3000 users to check this extension’s working. And I was shocked to see that in a second all 3000 users were loaded
I really thanx @iamwsumit for making this kind of great extension.

Hi
I can’t get it to display my images in the list. Can you show me how?

Here’s my blocks and sample aia…

testListViewExt01.aia (277.3 KB)

blocks

If you have a list with images, where you had put folder.jpg you have put the list of images. Try it.

Sorry I don’t quite understand. So under image it should be a list?

To display the images from assets or storage you must use image utility component on LoadImage event. Uncheck the LoadImage property and then use LoadImage event as example posted above with image utility component. Give the file name(if present in assets) or file path(if in storage) to image utility component.

Hi
Okay, thank you I will try it out.

Sumit your extension is awesome:star_struck:

I would like to suggest you a feature: with your extension we can swipe the items left or right and this is great, but how can we know if users know that they can do it? I mean, you can implement an animation that swipe an item a little and then it returns in normal position, so users realize it.

Ask me any questions if I haven’t explain well…:sweat_smile:

As far I understand, you want feature or blocks that can swipe the item in both directions with any given offset or can return to original position also.
Correct me if I am wrong.
