Deferred Scrolling not working on mobile devices

[StanLoganParticipant]

Hello,

I have been evaluating the jqxGrid, and I noticed that both in my implementation and in the examples on your site, the ‘Deferred Scrolling’ feature does not appear to work on mobile devices (tested on iOS/iPad and Android/Galaxy Tab).

The scrolling is not deferred, and the deferred info tool tip does not appear. There is no normal vertical scroll bar, although both platforms show tiny scroll indicators.

The grid can be scrolled normally, but this is mostly useless with large amounts of data.

How can I get actual deferred rendering on mobile?

Thanks in advance,
Stan

Hi Stan,

It’s not supposed to on mobile devices. On mobile devices, the Grid’s scrolling is Kinetic.

Hi Peter,

Thanks for the response. I would like it if it worked the same on mobile :). As I mentioned, the kinetic scrolling is not useful for large amounts of data, since the user could spend many minutes trying to reach the end of the data. It might be worth a note on the example or in the documentation that this is expected behavior.

I have a need to show large amounts of data in the grid on mobile devices.

I’m guessing that I will have to use a paging scheme instead. However, the default paging methods provided have some shortcomings for my purposes, so I am now looking for recommendations for setting up a custom pager that works something like the deferred scrolling would.

Do you think there would be any problem with creating a pager using either a jqxScrollBar or a jqxSlider widget? Any chance you would have an example that does something like this?

Thanks,
Stan

Hi Stan,

We have paging example which shows how to create a custom pager. You may look at it here: http://www.jqwidgets.com/jquery-widgets-demo/demos/jqxgrid/custompager.htm?light
