Question

I am working with TableViewRow and i need to fire swipe event. TableViewRow doesn’t register itself with Swipe event. So, basically i wrapped all my content in a Container View and added it to TableViewRow. Also, i attached swipe event listner to it. And fortunately it is working.
But, i need to pass the current TableViewRow to some function from Swipe event. So, i wrote this code:

var tableViewRow = e.source.parent;
while(e.source.parent !=  TiUITableViewRow){
    tableViewRow = tableViewRow.parent;
}

It throw the error that TiUITableViewRow variable not found. I even tried javascript typeOf function. Please suggest how to check the type of object?

Answer 1

the easiest way is to just set a property on the row and check for that property

var row = Ti.UI.createTableViewRow({
    _type = "row"
});

in the eventListener

var tableViewRow = e.source.parent;
while(e.source.parent._type !=  "row"){
    tableViewRow = tableViewRow.parent;
}
