Change Picker Rows after window is loaded

I'm trying to change the picker rows after the window was loaded. The picker was created in the xml file but when a row was attempted to be added to it an error is thrown (see below).

How do i add the picker rows once the picker is already added?

view.xml

<!-- other parent views above -->
<Picker id="languagePicker" selectionIndicator="true" useSpinner="true"
                                  width="Ti.Platform.displayCaps.platformWidth" right="0">
</Picker>

view.js

var languages = db.execute("SELECT * FROM language");

while(languages.isValidRow()){
    $.languagePicker.add(Ti.UI.createPickerRow({title:languages.fieldByName('language')}));
    languages.next();
}

Error Log:

Solution

  • The picker.add() method expects an array of PickerRow objects. This works in my app:

    var data = [],
    picker = Ti.UI.createPicker();
data.push(
    Ti.UI.createPickerRow({
        title: 'Row 1'
    }));
data.push(
    Ti.UI.createPickerRow({
        title: 'Row2'
    }));
picker.add(data);
