I have been using JQuery mobile for a few days now and one thing I notice that’s quite bad with it is that lists are slow, not as responsive as it should be and they tend to be a bit jerky.
So my question is, is it possible to create lists using native code and use JQuery mobile for other areas where it’s not so bad at?
I am assuming you are writing a web app, not a native app? The native list in iOS is called
UITableViewand no, you can’t use it in a web app.There are ways to improve responsiveness of animations in a web app, using CSS 3D transitions for example and I am sure it is already taken care of by jQuery mobile. But the performance will never rival that of a native app.
UPDATE: The same applies if you are using PhoneGap, since as far as I know, it’s just a
UIWebViewinside a native app.
