no scrolling on datagrid 2 on mobile
Hello everyone,
I've been trying for hours.
I have a datagrid (dg2) on a mobile device (android).
border is 0
showborder is false
no scrollbars (instructions said the datagrid must be "unadorned")
no effects are applied
and acceleratedrendering is on
layermode of grid is set to container
its the top most group on the card
I can't get it to scroll smoothly or scroll at all. when I set the scrollbar to auto ..... it scrolls, but still the old fashioned way.
I am going for the smooth scroll that was demoed with dg2.
On top of that I can't find any cohesive instructions how to make this dg2 work smoothly.
What am I missing?
Thanks for any help.
Cheers,
Tom

Can you point to a video showing what you're expecting?it scrolls, but still the old fashioned way.

Hey Bernard,
I can't think of a video off the bat, but was it not the promise of dg2 that datagrids will scroll smoothly ?
I've seen demos of this on Canela's Appli for example.
Mine always seems to be scrolling the old way .... where rows are either visible or not visible and there is no actual scroll.
just the illusion of a scroll.
I don't know how to explain it. except to say its not fast and not smooth.
I was expecting the ability to make it scroll smoothly.
Sorry. :/

Re: no scrolling on datagrid 2 on mobile
Can you make a video of your DG scrolling badly in the Simulator? Personally I don't even bother with the Simulator.
Before I replied yesterday I dragged a DG off the palette, created a btn to populate it, set the scrollbars to auto and launched it on an actual Android device. It scrolled in both directions with no problem. Even has native scrollbars (which I don't like, but that's not LC's problem) created by default.
So I don't know if you are seeing what I see using just the default settings but you're expecting something else, or if you are not seeing what I'm seeing.
I've spent quite a lot of time working with DG in Android. It works really well for me, but there were some tweaks. I've populated DGs with 1000s of rows and dozens of columns, and not run into any problems.

Hi,
no plan about DataGrids (I don't use such), but this reads as if such would be missing:

Re: no scrolling on datagrid 2 on mobile
Hi Bernard.
I will do what you did and see how it works for me. I have previously tried just starting from scratch, but I oculd not tell a difference,
Will try to make a video, not on simulator. Will post a link when I am done.
Axwalkd, the scroller works amazing everywhere except the datagrid. :/, thanks for trying.
EDIT, actually..it looks like the datagrid creates a scroller on its own, at least there is a function within its library.
But its not working as expected...but I think I have a lead as to what the problem could be,
Thanks

Hey, I am part of the beta testers list. You might be able to get on the list if you messaged the team over there.
I agree ..... good stuff coming from Canela.
THanks,
