Filter a tablewview manually

You must Login before you can answer or comment on any questions.

Hi, I've create a searchbar beside a tableView. I don't want to connect these two components with the property .search of the tableView. When i enter a character in my searchbar I want to filter my rows in the listview. My idea is to add an event listener for the event 'change' to the searchbar. But how I have to implement the filter for the tableview? Which method should i call to filter the items?

  • I'm using Titanium 2.1.3. I want to filter the list items manually on Android and iOS. In my view no more information are necessary. I can give you some code snippets, but I don't think that will help.

    this.searchView = Ti.UI.createView({
        layout: 'composite',
        top: 5,
        width: '95%',
        //backgroundColor: '#6E6E6E',
        height: 60,
        //borderColor: '#6E6E6E',
        borderRadius: 20,
        borderWidth: 1,
        backgroundGradient: {
            type: 'linear',
            startPoint: { x: '0%', y: '0%' },
            endPoint: { x: '0%', y: '100%' },
            colors: [ { color: '#BDBDBD', offset: 0.0}, { color: '#6E6E6E', offset: 1.0 } ],
    }
    });
    this.mainView.add(this.searchView);
...
    this.searchBar = Titanium.UI.createSearchBar({
        height: 40,
        width: '90%',
        //top: 6,
        backgroundColor: 'transparent'
 
    });
    if (Ti.Platform.osname == 'android') {
        this.searchBar.hide();
    };
    this.searchView.add(this.searchBar);
...
    this.listView = Ti.UI.createTableView({
        scrollable: true,
        //search: this.searchBar,
        width: '100%',
        top: 0,
        backgroundColor: 'transparent'
    });
    this.containerView.add(this.listView);
    I don't have implemented the eventlistener yet. I just want to know what i sould do with my tablewview to filter the items with the characters of my searchbar
