I am practicing Windows Phone development using WinJS and I have the following code which parses JSON received from a particular URL. And using the images to be bound to a list view in an HTML page,
JavaScript code:
WinJS.xhr({ url: urlToBeUsed }).then(
function (sportsResponse) {
var sportsJSON = JSON.parse(sportsResponse.responseText);
var listItems = sportsJSON.Videos.Data;
for (var i = 0; i < listItems.length; i++) {
var imageList = listItems[i].Items;
var count = imageList.length;
if (count > 0) {
listItems[i].Items[0].Images.forEach(imageIteration);
function imageIteration(value, index, array) {
var picture = value.Url;
var name = value.title;
sportsImageList.push({
title: name,
picture: picture
});
}
}
}
imageList.itemDataSource = sportsImageList.dataSource;
})
}
HTML Code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<title></title>
<!-- WinJS references -->
<script src="//Microsoft.Phone.WinJS.2.1/js/base.js"></script>
<script src="//Microsoft.Phone.WinJS.2.1/js/ui.js"></script>

<link href="/css/default.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<link href="/pages/home/home.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<script src="/pages/sports/sports.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<!-- The content that will be loaded and displayed. -->
<div class="fragment homepage" style="width:100%;height:100%;padding:10px">
<div class="myTemplate" data-win-control="WinJS.Binding.Template">
<div class="myItem">
<img data-win-bind="src:picture" style="width:100px;height:100px" />
</div>
</div>
<div id="imageList" data-win-control="WinJS.UI.ListView" data-win-bind="winControl.itemDataSource:sportsImageList.dataSource" data-win-options="{itemTemplate:select('.myTemplate')}"></div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
I have tried many ways to bind the URL to the Image, but on the screen I can only see the links but not the actual images. Where am I wrong? All help and suggestions appreciated. Thank you!
I believe your error is in your assignment line, remember that itemDataSource is a property of the ListView control. As it is in your code you're assigning that property to the imageList element.
Change it to this:
imageList.winControl.itemDataSource = sportsImageList.dataSource;
