Description

Also the data array count is not incremented and when retrieving the data property, it does not contain the items that were appended

// this sets the background color of the master UIView (when there are no windows/tab groups on it)
Titanium.UI.setBackgroundColor('#000');

//
// create base UI tab and root window
//
var win1 = Titanium.UI.createWindow({  
    backgroundColor:'#fff'
});

var item = Ti.UI.createDashboardItem({badge:1, image: "KS_nav_ui.png" });
var dboard = Titanium.UI.createDashboardView( {
  top: 45,
  width: '100%',
  data:[item]
});


win1.add(dboard);
var button = Titanium.UI.createButton( { title: "populate",height:35, top: 2, width: 100 } );
button.addEventListener("click", function (e) {
  var item2 = Ti.UI.createDashboardItem({badge:dboard.data.length, image: "KS_nav_ui.png" });
  Titanium.API.info("Button clicked");
  dboard.setData([item2]);
  dboard.show();
  Titanium.API.info("dboard.data length "+dboard.data.length);
  Titanium.API.info("dboard.data " + dboard.data);
});
win1.add(button);
win1.open();

I'd like to second this bug ticket. Looking in the
/Library/Application Support/Titanium/mobilesdk/osx/1.5.1/iphone/Classes/TiUIDashboardView.m

under line 50 the setData method
```
   -(void)setData:(id)args
   {

   

   
   
   
   
```
```
   [self launcher];
   
   for (TiUIDashboardItemProxy *proxy in args)
   {
       ENSURE_TYPE(proxy,TiUIDashboardItemProxy);
       [launcher addItem:proxy.item animated:NO];
   }
   
```
```
   
   
   

   }
   
```
You'll notice that all it ever does is addItem to the LauncherView. You can't set DashboardView.data directly to overwrite the existing dashboard, all it will ever do is append.

Also, a feature request to be able to add and remove items programatically. A helpdesk ticket is asking for this: http://support-admin.appcelerator.com/display/APP-556514 Suggested methods: - dashboard.addItem( ); - dashboard.removeItem( );
