Nativescript: Adding Section and Index List in ListView

[TobiasHennig]

I need to implement sections and and index list (a-z) in one of my ListViews like in this image:

Is this ...
a.) possible with the current version of NativeScript?
b.) possible with a bit "native hacking"?
c.) a planned feature?

I believe this is available in the telerik-nativescript-ui package? The official Telerik ListView component.

Hi Tobias - @ginev can elaborate more here, but as manijak mentioned this is a planned feature for the RadListView as part of UI for NativeScript.

This feature will be supported out-of-the-box by RadListView for its official release.

I wonder why, if all this functionality is available on each platform: pulltorefresh, load more on demand, cell swipe actions, sections and index lost; why it needs to be included in a commercial product?

[TobiasHennig]

I basically agree with @alexrainman. Perhaps, there could be a free "lite" version with the standard function (like sections and index list)? The function "load more on demand" is already implemented with the "loadMoreItems" attribute.

You can use https://www.npmjs.com/package/nativescript-sectioned-list-view for showing section headers until then.

@manijak You mention that it will be apart of the ui package. Could you elaborate? I cannot get it to work.

Hi, I couldn't find any mention of "sections" in the RadListView documentation... someone has some details about it? Thanks
