ViewConfig displays two types of views:

• Grid view

The type of view will be determined by the Reference Width and Reference Height of the view config property, if reference height and width are greater than 0, then view set is grid view.

For example, if you set an onClick to a box, the onClick event will be executed whenever you click each cell. Set righttap event using setGestureRecognizer to a box and you can see right click behavior on each cell of grid view.

Possible value for Reference width and Height:

Default application displays 0,you can give any number greater than 0 to get grid view type of a widget.

Possible values for Size Mode:

• constants.GRID_TYPE_FIXED
• constants.GRID_TYPE_GROW_COLUMNS
• constants.GRID_TYPE_GROW_ROWS

Example

//Defining properties for a Popup with the viewConfig
var popBasic ={id:"popUp", title:"PopUP", skin:"popSkin", isModal:true};

This property defines how the main Popup interacts with the window containing the on-screen soft keyboard.

Syntax

windowSoftInputMode

Type

Number

Read/Write

No

Remarks

It determines the adjustments made to the Popup whether it is resized smaller to make room for the soft keyboard or whether its contents pan to make the current focus visible when part of the Popup is covered by the soft keyboard.

Default: POPUP_ADJUST_RESIZE

Following are the available options:

• POPUP_ADJUST_RESIZE: Specifies the popup is resized and when you click or start typing within the widget which requires an input, the popup scrolls up and the widget which requires an input is not overlapped by the keypad or footer.
• POPUP_ADJUST_PAN: Specifies the widget which requires an input is placed at the bottom of the popup is overlapped by the keypad. The main Popup is not resized to make room for the soft keyboard. Rather, the contents of the Popup are automatically panned so that the current focus is never obscured by the keyboard and users can always see what they are typing. This is generally less desirable than resizing, because the user may need to close the soft keyboard to get at and interact with obscured parts of the Popup.

Example

//Defining properties for a Popup with windowSoftInputMode:constants.POPUP_ADJUST_RESIZE
var popBasic ={id:"popUp", title:"PopUP", skin:"popSkin", isModal:true};
