  • 0

I want to dynamically append data received via an url in JSOn format to my listview. But i can’t figure out how it works.

The mobile website retrieve the object in the following format:

[
    {"id":1, "start":"2011-10-29T13:15:00.000+10:00", "end":"2011-10-29T14:15:00.000+10:00", "title":"Meeting"}
]

In the .html i have one listview and a function, where i try to append the received data. I show only the body.

<body>
       <div>   
            <ul id="listview">
                <script>$.getJSON("url",
                function(data){
                    $.each(data, function(i,data){
                        i.title.appendTo("#listview");
                    });});</script> 
            </ul>
        </div>
</body>

Probably it’s very easy, but i’m new to web programming and i can’t figure out how that i should append the retrieved data.

Can anyone please help me out ?

    //make AJAX call to url
$.getJSON("url", function(data){

    //declare a variable with which to build our output (it's best to buffer output and only do one append at the end since DOM manipulation is CPU expensive)
    var output = '';

    //iterate through the data (we could also get rid of the jQuery here by using `for (key in data) {
    $.each(data, function(index, value){

        //add each value to the output buffer (we also have access to the other properties of this object: id, start, and end)
        output += '<li>' + value.title + '</li>';
    });

    //now append the buffered output to the listview and either refresh the listview or create it (meaning have jQuery Mobile style the list)
    $('#listview').append(output).listview('refresh');//or if the listview has yet to be initialized, use `.trigger('create');` instead of `.listview('refresh');`
});

    Here is a jsfiddle of the above solution (there is also an example of using for(){} instead of $.each()): http://jsfiddle.net/VqULm/
