Hello,
I am a relatively new Alpha user and could do with some help using the "search" features of Alpha.
I have got a working app which I have built for mobile (I eventually want to distribute the app on the app stores, android first). The app is very similar to the "Conference App" that Alpha uses to demonstrate the basic functionality of mobile apps. The data for the list is based on an MS Access database (which I have used connection strings to link to the list) and seems to be working well (i.e. My list is populated and when the user clicks on the list item it will open a panel with the specific information regarding that list item). Yay!
However, I have also included a search feature both on the main page and the panel that includes the list. These searches are both keyword searches that filter the list down based on the keyword search. When I run the Live Preview in Alpha, this search feature works fine and does exactly what I want it to do. However, when I then deploy the app using the PhoneGap builder (and subsequently install the app onto my device for testing) the search feature does nothing and the buttons don't seem to even respond.
Is there something that I need to do to point the search button and text box at the database that the list is using, because I am using phonegap or is this something that should just work (and i have therefore, done something wrong).
Thank you in advance,
Alex
