Dynamically Appending Elements to jQuery Mobile ListView

Question

I want to dynamically append data received via an url in JSOn format to my listview. But i can\'t figure out how it works.

The mobile website retrieve the object in

Answer 1

//make AJAX call to url
$.getJSON("url", function(data){

    //declare a variable with which to build our output (it's best to buffer output and only do one append at the end since DOM manipulation is CPU expensive)
    var output = '';

    //iterate through the data (we could also get rid of the jQuery here by using `for (key in data) {
    $.each(data, function(index, value){

        //add each value to the output buffer (we also have access to the other properties of this object: id, start, and end)
        output += '
' + value.title + '
';
    });

    //now append the buffered output to the listview and either refresh the listview or create it (meaning have jQuery Mobile style the list)
    $('#listview').append(output).listview('refresh');//or if the listview has yet to be initialized, use `.trigger('create');` instead of `.listview('refresh');`
});

Here is a jsfiddle of the above solution (there is also an example of using for(){} instead of $.each()): http://jsfiddle.net/VqULm/
