Description

One option for enabling list view searching is to set the searchView property of the list equal to a reference to the SearchBar component. *Expectation* I should be able to set this property as an attribute of the <ListView> tag in the XML. *Actual* As demonstrated by the attached app, doing so throws this error:

[ERROR] Script Error {
[ERROR]     backtrace = "#0 () at file:///Users/tpoulsen/Library/Application%20Support/iPhone%20Simulator/7.1/Applications/D10A7127-56CA-485E-99C7-FE9A5C9DDD60/ListViewSearch.app/alloy.js:231";
[ERROR]     line = 95;
[ERROR]     message = "Invalid type passed to function";
[ERROR]     nativeLocation = "-[TiUIListView setSearchView_:] (TiUIListView.m:746)";
[ERROR]     nativeReason = "expected: TiUISearchBarProxy or nil, was: String";
[ERROR]     sourceId = 259295456;
[ERROR]     sourceURL = "file:///Users/tpoulsen/Library/Application%20Support/iPhone%20Simulator/7.1/Applications/D10A7127-56CA-485E-99C7-FE9A5C9DDD60/ListViewSearch.app/alloy/controllers/index.js";
[ERROR] }

*Reason and workaround* The attribute's value is being passed as a string to the ListView component, rather than as a reference to the component with that ID. As a workaround, you can set the searchView property in the controller.

Tim Poulsen 2014-05-29 PR: https://github.com/appcelerator/alloy/pull/422 Test app: test/apps/testing/ALOY-1033 Functional test: 1. Run the app (should see no errors in console or app). Tap in the search box and search for items (should work). 2. Edit the app's index.xml to move the within the . Run the app and it should work as before.

Tim Poulsen 2014-09-12 This is an SDK issue, not Alloy.

   var win = Ti.UI.createWindow({
       backgroundColor: 'blue',
       fullscreen: false
   });
   
   // Use action bar search view
   var search = Ti.UI.Android.createSearchView({
       hintText: "Table Search",
       top: 0
   });
   
   win.add(search);
   
   var listView = Ti.UI.createListView({
   	searchView: search, /* comment this out & it runs*/
   	top: 40
   });
   var sections = [];
   
   var fruitSection = Ti.UI.createListSection({ headerTitle: 'Fruits'});
   var fruitDataSet = [
       {properties: { title: 'Apple'}},
       {properties: { title: 'Banana'}},
   ];
   fruitSection.setItems(fruitDataSet);
   sections.push(fruitSection);
   
   var vegSection = Ti.UI.createListSection({ headerTitle: 'Vegetables'});
   var vegDataSet = [
       {properties: { title: 'Carrots'}},
       {properties: { title: 'Potatoes'}},
   ];
   vegSection.setItems(vegDataSet);
   sections.push(vegSection);
   
   listView.sections = sections;
   win.add(listView);
   win.open();

Crashes in the same way.

Feon Sua Xin Miao 2014-09-12 Master: https://github.com/appcelerator/alloy/pull/554 1_5_X: https://github.com/appcelerator/alloy/pull/555 Update the test app to reflect the platform differences, such that the SearchBar is outside the list for iOS and inside the list for Android.
