Property "rowCount" does not work, tested with SDK 3.0.2.GA Seems like value is not set in TiUIDashboardView.m: int rowCount = [TiUtils intValue:[self.proxy valueForKey:@"rowCount"] def:kDashboardViewDefaultRowCount]; NSLog(@"### rowCount: %d", rowCount); Always returned the predefined number. Curiously columnCount works properly. Also see https://developer.appcelerator.com/question/149207/columncount-and-rowcount-do-not-work-well-in-dashboardview

@Danny: The property is marked as 'creation' in the docs because it's only available when you create the object. You can't set it on the proxy and have it change the rowCount and columnCount. This is because the items are laid out in an array of pages and there currently isn't code to relayout across pages if the counts change. I'm not sure how Alloy handles properties in the XML, but it appears that it probably tries to set them on the proxy *after* running the factory function, which will of course not work.

I don't use Alloy and of course I set the property in the creation statement:

   var dashboard = Ti.UI.createDashboardView({
   	data: data, // previously created and saved to array
   	rowCount: 2,
   	columnCount: 3,
   	wobble: true,
   	top: 60,
   	height: 250
   });

Pull pending https://github.com/appcelerator/titanium_mobile/pull/4181 For workaround in current implementation call setData explicitly after creating the proxy (Remove data from creation dict).

code for testing

   
   var items = [[], [], []];
   
   for (var j = 0; j < 3; j++) {
     for (var i = 0; i < 20; i++) {
       var item = Ti.UI.createDashboardItem();
       item.add(Ti.UI.createLabel({
         text: "item numba " + i,
         borderColor: '#'+i+'0'+i+'000',
         borderWidth: 3,
         height: 'fill', width: 'fill'
       }));
       items[j][i] = item;
     }
   }
   
   var dashboard = Ti.UI.createDashboardView({
       data: items[0], // previously created and saved to array
       rowCount: 2,
       columnCount: 3,
       wobble: true,
       top: 60,
       height: 250
   });
   
   var win = Ti.UI.createWindow({
   	backgroundColor:'white',
   });
   win.add(dashboard);
   win.open();
