Please please please continue making videos! You are the reason of my success on Thunkable. Maybe a simple 2d game next time?

[@DarrenAlderman]

Thank you so much for your kind words. I plan to!

[@ashwalkerson1934]

This was a HUGE help in figuring out the logic for my first app. I'm just working on a proof of concept but this put me on the right track, so thanks!

[@DarrenAlderman]

Glad to help!

[@incredibotsteam7884]

Love your tutorials, Darren!

[@DarrenAlderman]

Thanks so much!

[@anamikabiswas7583]

Hey Darren. can you explain the ***row id*** in the create new row block? it's so unclear!

[@KevinReadOz]

When you create a new row in a datasource, Thunkable returns a 'rowid' for that event. You can use it to reference the created row in other events. i.e. setting additional fields. A RowId is also provided on swipe events so you can reference the row and perform Update and Delete operations.

[@jeanneLazarte]

hello, Darren. What blocks should i use when I want items that will be clicked to navigate to different screens? like 1 item goes to screen1 and another item goes to screen2? thank you.

[@DarrenAlderman]

You will have to do something like "if item clicked = x, go to y else if item clicked = z go to a"

[@jesshomer1094]

Is it possible to only target specific items in the list, so you can click on them and navigate to a unique page to other items in the list?

[@DarrenAlderman]

If I understand you're question, You would have to have some kind of mapping in the background in a variable or Local DB. So when they click, you look up what page they should go to, and then navigate to that page.

[@jesshomer1094]

@@DarrenAlderman Thank you very much for your time! You are such a great help!

[@queen_annabeth]

I did Delete as well!!! along with some other features. But, you didn't explain the "Watch Tutorial" Button

[@DarrenAlderman]

It's a button that navigates to a link when clicked. Boom. Done.

Hi Darren I really like your tutorial. It works fine. I'd like to go further to get a list from Airtable to use in the listview. Understand will need to use the object to json block to convert the column into a list? How to go about doing that? Idea is - if you can put the to-do list in a spreadsheet for the other party to access and use the app to populate their hp the list of to-do.... Regards YSH

[@DarrenAlderman]

Great idea

[@johnantoniou2714]

Hello Darren, I really like the look of the "Data Viewer List" composition, but I would also like the functionality of the "List Viewer " composition for a selected item or index in the "Data Viewer List". How can I have this functionality for my Data Viewer List?

[@DarrenAlderman]

The Data Viewer List returns an index, I use it in this video. So I'm not sure what you're asking?

[@johnantoniou2714]

Hello Darren . I'm watching your video, your screen with yourself is above the screen ofo your lesson and i cant see (for example at poiont 9:19 minute of your video) your movements. Thank you.

[@DarrenAlderman]

Thanks for raising that to my attention. I'm trying to keep a better eye on that!

[@johnantoniou2714]

I know that, thank you again. Now I was watching your Firebase lesson and i received your message

[@barriefox160]

Hi Darren great video. I have an App published on both stores, built with thunkable x. The App was updating and retrieving local storage but since about late 2019 it updates but does not retrieve local storage. My users lost all their data. This has prompted me to do a full rebuild, with a more modern look and easier to use UI. I tried to grab your code for remix but there was no button to click. I do have a question about saving an entire data list to 1 variable, is this possible. And can that variable then be saved to the cloud so when the user changes phones the data for the App is still available.

For some odd reason, when I live test my app, the data viewer list doesn't cover the whole screen width as I have designed it to. Does anyone have any suggestions regarding why this might be? Thanks!

[@DarrenAlderman]

Yeah I think this is a bug with the web viewer. It doesn't do that for me when I view it on my phone.

[@jenniferduarte4293]

Hi Darren. I am currently making an app that needs many of the features that you have explained on your channel, but one I am still unsure about phone number linking. Is there any way to do this within Thunkable so that the app calls the number that is linked when it is downloaded on the phone?

[@DarrenAlderman]

Is this what you are looking for? docs.thunkable.com/share#make-a-phone-call

Hi Darren, The Data viewer list is not covering the whole screen width. How can i fix it?

[@mriduljain9551]

Hey Darren, when I made this app (exactly as you told) I found that although it works fine, it does not show the subtitle part of the data viewer list. And it's all small and messed up too. Hoping someone can help

Thanks for the video - it's a bit outdated now, thunkable has improved the functionality of the Data Viewer since you made this i.e. Refreshes automatically as well as a 'Refresh Data' event. Looking for tips on how to style Text based on fields i.e. colour based on Status, as well as sorting and filtering of datasources

Hello! would you be able to create a video teaching how to send text to the server with the web API? for example: creates a simple form with name, age and identity send this data to the server, for example: 000webhost they receive the response or confirmation that the data has reached the server. please ! Thank you very much in advance

[@DarrenAlderman]

That seems a bit advanced for this channel right now... :) But I also think if you are asking that question you should be able to figure it out! Yes - that is a challenge.

Sorry again that i interrupt. Don't understand the point where I can put an image in a row of data list views? Very nice and helpful video you give us again.

[@DarrenAlderman]

See here: docs.thunkable.com/data-viewer-list#list-item-layout You are able to add pictures in the list items.

[@user-leechoul]

Thank you for your lecture. If it's a todo list, you should be able to delete what you've done. By the way I found that I can't delete an item. This is because there is no block in the data source to delete items. How can I create a proper todo app that can delete items?

[@DarrenAlderman]

As mentioned in the video, deleting is currently not supported and cannot be accomplished using data sources: docs.thunkable.com/data-sources#delete If this is an immediate requirement you will have to use another approach. See my original to do app linked in the description!
