Question

Plz give the code or function how to clear the ListField and update the ListField .
Suppose i want to display some multiple text( Project Name, Project Manager )extracted from JSON object , in a ListField.
I am able to display this strings in the ListField but one more feature i need to add ie.. above the ListField there should be a ButtonField and when the user clicks on the ButtonField the ListField should display the string in sorted manner base on Project Name. So i need to clear the ListField

          }




        }


      }

     } 

one more thing i need to clearify is that in my above code firstly i have parsed the JSON object in NetworkingMainScreen and if the JSON parsing is success i have push a new screen name Screen2 passing the stored Vector to the Screen2. The Screen2 performs ListField drawings or should i perform the ListField drawing in NetworkingMainScreen class only.

 For details about the items i need to display plz look **http://iphone.openmetrics.com/apps/mattson/api.html?action=login&user=Nathan&password=coffee00&server=exp.lcgpence.com&output=data**

Answer 1

Implement ListFieldCallback in your screen, you can then handle the drawing of your rows however you want in drawListRow.
