Dynamic data in GroupedTableScreen about promotion HOT 11 CLOSED

Simply add update_table_data after updating your instance variable in the callback.
And you should initialize your instance var before the callback.

def on_load
  @games_list = []

  BW::HTTP.get("http://remoteserver.com/api.json") do |response|
    @games_list = massage_data(response)
    update_table_data
  end

  @hometable ||= [
    {
      title: "List of games",
      cells: @games_list
    },{
      title: "Settings",
      cells:[
        {
          title: "Account", action: :account_settings
        },{
          title: "Notification", action: :notification_settings  
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
end

That worked, thanks @Swatto!

Are you actually getting your @games_list cells from the server? That's an interesting way to do it.

Yes. I'm getting it from a server.

Dynamically programming your app from a server. Sounds vaguely dangerous. :)

I show a loading icon when there is a request in progress. I'm also planning to cache it. Can you explain how it could be dangerous?

from promotion.

We allow setting any cell attribute in table_data, so if someone intercepted the request and returned something malicious, it would run. I can't think of anything offhand (hence the "vaguely") but it would be possible to change how your app works pretty easily.

Got it. I'm massaging data that comes from the server with few filters. So I guess it should be safe.

from promotion.

That's a good idea. What kind of app are you working on, if I might ask?

I'm trying to build a reader to read algorithm problems in Topcoder, for me to read problems, scribble possible solutions(paint), see best submitted solutions. Variable names in above snippets are not real :)

Nice!
