Implements IFocusContainer
Subclasses SpinnerList

Displays a one-dimensional list of items. Supports scrolling, custom item renderers, and custom layouts.

Layouts may be, and are highly encouraged to be, virtual, meaning that the List is capable of creating a limited number of item renderers to display a subset of the data provider instead of creating a renderer for every single item. This allows for optimal performance with very large data providers.

The following example creates a list, gives it a data provider, tells the item renderer how to interpret the data, and listens for when the selection changes:

     var list:List = new List();
     
     list.dataProvider = new ListCollection(
     [
         { text: "Milk", thumbnail: textureAtlas.getTexture( "milk" ) },
         { text: "Eggs", thumbnail: textureAtlas.getTexture( "eggs" ) },
         { text: "Bread", thumbnail: textureAtlas.getTexture( "bread" ) },
         { text: "Chicken", thumbnail: textureAtlas.getTexture( "chicken" ) },
     ]);
     
     list.itemRendererFactory = function():IListItemRenderer
     {
         var renderer:DefaultListItemRenderer = new DefaultListItemRenderer();
         renderer.labelField = "text";
         renderer.iconSourceField = "thumbnail";
         return renderer;
     };
     
     list.addEventListener( Event.CHANGE, list_changeHandler );
     
     this.addChild( list );

Property Detail
allowMultipleSelectionproperty
allowMultipleSelection:Boolean

If true multiple items may be selected at a time. If false, then only a single item may be selected at a time, and if the selection changes, other items are deselected. Has no effect if isSelectable is false.

In the following example, multiple selection is enabled:

         list.allowMultipleSelection = true;

The default value is false.


Implementation
    public function get allowMultipleSelection():Boolean
    public function set allowMultipleSelection(value:Boolean):void

See also

customItemRendererStyleNameproperty 
customItemRendererStyleName:String

A style name to add to all item renderers in this list. Typically used by a theme to provide different skins to different lists.

The following example sets the item renderer name:

         list.customItemRendererStyleName = "my-custom-item-renderer";

In your theme, you can target this sub-component name to provide different skins than the default style:

         getStyleProviderForClass( DefaultListItemRenderer ).setFunctionForStyleName( "my-custom-item-renderer", setCustomItemRendererStyles );

The default value is null.


Implementation
    public function get customItemRendererStyleName():String
    public function set customItemRendererStyleName(value:String):void

See also

dataProviderproperty 
dataProvider:ListCollection

The collection of data displayed by the list. Changing this property to a new value is considered a drastic change to the list's data, so the horizontal and vertical scroll positions will be reset, and the list's selection will be cleared.

The following example passes in a data provider and tells the item renderer how to interpret the data:

         list.dataProvider = new ListCollection(
         [
             { text: "Milk", thumbnail: textureAtlas.getTexture( "milk" ) },
             { text: "Eggs", thumbnail: textureAtlas.getTexture( "eggs" ) },
             { text: "Bread", thumbnail: textureAtlas.getTexture( "bread" ) },
             { text: "Chicken", thumbnail: textureAtlas.getTexture( "chicken" ) },
         ]);
                  list.itemRendererFactory = function():IListItemRenderer
         {
             var renderer:DefaultListItemRenderer = new DefaultListItemRenderer();
             renderer.labelField = "text";
             renderer.iconSourceField = "thumbnail";
             return renderer;
         };

Warning: A list's data provider cannot contain duplicate items. To display the same item in multiple item renderers, you must create separate objects with the same properties. This limitation exists because it significantly improves performance.

Warning: If the data provider contains display objects, concrete textures, or anything that needs to be disposed, those objects will not be automatically disposed when the list is disposed. Similar to how starling.display.Image cannot automatically dispose its texture because the texture may be used by other display objects, a list cannot dispose its data provider because the data provider may be used by other lists. See the dispose() function on ListCollection to see how the data provider can be disposed properly.

The default value is null.

public static var globalStyleProvider:IStyleProvider

The default IStyleProvider for all List components.

The default value is null.

isChildFocusEnabledproperty 
isChildFocusEnabled:Boolean

Determines if this component's children can receive focus. This property is completely independent from the isFocusEnabled property. In other words, it's possible to disable focus on this component while still allowing focus on its children (or the other way around).

In the following example, the focus is disabled:

         object.isFocusEnabled = false;

The default value is true.


Implementation
    public function get isChildFocusEnabled():Boolean
    public function set isChildFocusEnabled(value:Boolean):void

isSelectableproperty 
isSelectable:Boolean

Determines if items in the list may be selected. By default only a single item may be selected at any given time. In other words, if item A is selected, and the user selects item B, item A will be deselected automatically. Set allowMultipleSelection to true to select more than one item without automatically deselecting other items.

The following example disables selection:

         list.isSelectable = false;

The default value is true.

itemRendererFactoryproperty 
itemRendererFactory:Function

A function called that is expected to return a new item renderer. Has a higher priority than itemRendererType. Typically, you would use an itemRendererFactory instead of an itemRendererType if you wanted to initialize some properties on each separate item renderer, such as skins.

The function is expected to have the following signature:

function():IListItemRenderer

The following example provides a factory for the item renderer:

         list.itemRendererFactory = function():IListItemRenderer
         {
             var renderer:CustomItemRendererClass = new CustomItemRendererClass();
             renderer.backgroundSkin = new Quad( 10, 10, 0xff0000 );
             return renderer;
         };

The default value is null.

DEPRECATED: Replaced by customItemRendererStyleName.

DEPRECATION WARNING: This property is deprecated starting with Feathers 2.1. It will be removed in a future version of Feathers according to the standard Feathers deprecation policy.


Implementation
    public function get itemRendererName():String
    public function set itemRendererName(value:String):void

itemRendererPropertiesproperty 
itemRendererProperties:Object

An object that stores properties for all of the list's item renderers, and the properties will be passed down to every item renderer when the list validates. The available properties depend on which IListItemRenderer implementation is returned by itemRendererFactory.

By default, the itemRendererFactory will return a DefaultListItemRenderer instance. If you aren't using a custom item renderer, you can refer to feathers.controls.renderers.DefaultListItemRenderer for a list of available properties.

These properties are shared by every item renderer, so anything that cannot be shared (such as display objects, which cannot be added to multiple parents) should be passed to item renderers using the itemRendererFactory or in the theme.

The following example customizes some item renderer properties (this example assumes that the item renderer's label text renderer is a BitmapFontTextRenderer):

         list.itemRendererProperties.labelField = "text";
         list.itemRendererProperties.accessoryField = "control";

If the subcomponent has its own subcomponents, their properties can be set too, using attribute @ notation. For example, to set the skin on the thumb which is in a SimpleScrollBar, which is in a List, you can use the following syntax:

list.verticalScrollBarProperties.@thumbProperties.defaultSkin = new Image(texture);

Setting properties in a itemRendererFactory function instead of using itemRendererProperties will result in better performance.

The default value is null.


Implementation

itemRendererTypeproperty 
itemRendererType:Class

The class used to instantiate item renderers. Must implement the IListItemRenderer interface.

To customize properties on the item renderer, use itemRendererFactory instead.

The following example changes the item renderer type:

         list.itemRendererType = CustomItemRendererClass;

The default value is feathers.controls.renderers.DefaultListItemRenderer.


Implementation

keyScrollDurationproperty 
keyScrollDuration:Number

The duration, in seconds, of the animation when the selected item is changed by keyboard navigation and the item scrolls into view.

In the following example, the duration of the animation that scrolls the list to a new selected item is set to 500 milliseconds:

         list.keyScrollDuration = 0.5;

The default value is 0.25.


Implementation
    public function get keyScrollDuration():Number
    public function set keyScrollDuration(value:Number):void
layoutproperty 
layout:ILayout

The layout algorithm used to position and, optionally, size the list's items.

By default, if no layout is provided by the time that the list initializes, a vertical layout with options targeted at touch screens is created.

The following example tells the list to use a horizontal layout:

         var layout:HorizontalLayout = new HorizontalLayout();
         layout.gap = 20;
         layout.padding = 20;
         list.layout = layout;

The default value is null.


Implementation
    public function get layout():ILayout
    public function set layout(value:ILayout):void
pendingItemIndexproperty 
protected var pendingItemIndex:int = -1

The pending item index to scroll to after validating. A value of -1 means that the scroller won't scroll to an item after validating.

selectedIndexproperty 
selectedIndex:int

The index of the currently selected item. Returns -1 if no item is selected.

The following example selects an item by its index:

         list.selectedIndex = 2;

The following example clears the selected index:

         list.selectedIndex = -1;

The following example listens for when selection changes and requests the selected index:

         function list_changeHandler( event:Event ):void
         {
             var list:List = List( event.currentTarget );
             var index:int = list.selectedIndex;
                  }
         list.addEventListener( Event.CHANGE, list_changeHandler );

The default value is -1.

selectedIndicesproperty 
selectedIndices:Vector.<int>

The indices of the currently selected items. Returns an empty Vector.<int> if no items are selected. If allowMultipleSelection is false, only one item may be selected at a time.

The following example selects two items by their indices:

         list.selectedIndices = new <int>[ 2, 3 ];

The following example clears the selected indices:

         list.selectedIndices = null;

The following example listens for when selection changes and requests the selected indices:

         function list_changeHandler( event:Event ):void
         {

selectedItemproperty 
selectedItem:Object

The currently selected item. Returns null if no item is selected.

The following example changes the selected item:

         list.selectedItem = list.dataProvider.getItemAt(0);

The following example clears the selected item:

         list.selectedItem = null;

The following example listens for when selection changes and requests the selected item:

         function list_changeHandler( event:Event ):void
         {
             var list:List = List( event.currentTarget );
             var item:Object = list.selectedItem;
                  }

selectedItemsproperty 
selectedItems:Vector.<Object>

The currently selected item. The getter returns an empty Vector.<Object> if no item is selected. If any items are selected, the getter creates a new Vector.<Object> to return a list of selected items.

The following example selects two items:

         list.selectedItems = new <Object>[ list.dataProvider.getItemAt(2) , list.dataProvider.getItemAt(3) ];

The following example clears the selected items:

         list.selectedItems = null;

typicalItemproperty 
typicalItem:Object

Used to auto-size the list when a virtualized layout is used. If the list's width or height is unknown, the list will try to automatically pick an ideal size. This item is used to create a sample item renderer to measure item renderers that are virtual and not visible in the viewport.

The following example provides a typical item:

         list.typicalItem = { text: "A typical item", thumbnail: texture };
         list.itemRendererProperties.labelField = "text";
         list.itemRendererProperties.iconSourceField = "thumbnail";

The default value is null.

public function List()

Constructor.

Method Detail
getSelectedItems()method
public function getSelectedItems(result:Vector.<Object> = null):Vector.<Object>

Returns the selected items, with the ability to pass in an optional result vector. Better for performance than the selectedItems getter because it can avoid the allocation, and possibly garbage collection, of the result object.

Parameters

result:Vector.<Object> (default = null)

Returns
Vector.<Object>

scrollToDisplayIndex()method 
public function scrollToDisplayIndex(index:int, animationDuration:Number = 0):void

Scrolls the list so that the specified item is visible. If animationDuration is greater than zero, the scroll will animate. The duration is in seconds.

If the layout is virtual with variable item dimensions, this function may not accurately scroll to the exact correct position. A virtual layout with variable item dimensions is often forced to estimate positions, so the results aren't guaranteed to be accurate.

If you want to scroll to the end of the list, it is better to use scrollToPosition() with maxHorizontalScrollPosition or maxVerticalScrollPosition.

In the following example, the list is scrolled to display index 10:

         list.scrollToDisplayIndex( 10 );

Parameters

index:int — The integer index of an item from the data provider.
 
animationDuration:Number (default = 0) — The length of time, in seconds, of the animation. May be zero to scroll instantly.

Event Detail
change Event
Event Object Type: starling.events.Event
Event.type property = starling.events.Event.CHANGE

Dispatched when the selected item changes.

The properties of the event object have the following values:

PropertyValue
bubblesfalse
currentTargetThe Object that defines the event listener that handles the event. For example, if you use myButton.addEventListener() to register an event listener, myButton is the value of the currentTarget.
datanull
targetThe Object that dispatched the event; it is not always the Object listening for the event. Use the currentTarget property to always access the Object listening for the event.

rendererAdd Event  
Event Object Type: starling.events.Event
Event.type property = feathers.events.FeathersEventType.RENDERER_ADD

Dispatched when an item renderer is added to the list. When the layout is virtualized, item renderers may not exist for every item in the data provider. This event can be used to track which items currently have renderers.

The properties of the event object have the following values:

PropertyValue
bubblesfalse
currentTargetThe Object that defines the event listener that handles the event. For example, if you use myButton.addEventListener() to register an event listener, myButton is the value of the currentTarget.
dataThe item renderer that was added.
targetThe Object that dispatched the event; it is not always the Object listening for the event. Use the currentTarget property to always access the Object listening for the event.

The FeathersEventType.RENDERER_ADD event type is used by Feathers components with item renderers to indicate when a new renderer has been added. This event type is meant to be used with virtualized layouts where only a limited set of renderers will be created for a data provider that may include a larger number of items.
rendererRemove Event  
Event Object Type: starling.events.Event
Event.type property = feathers.events.FeathersEventType.RENDERER_REMOVE

Dispatched when an item renderer is removed from the list. When the layout is virtualized, item renderers may not exist for every item in the data provider. This event can be used to track which items currently have renderers.

The properties of the event object have the following values:

PropertyValue
bubblesfalse
currentTargetThe Object that defines the event listener that handles the event. For example, if you use myButton.addEventListener() to register an event listener, myButton is the value of the currentTarget.
dataThe item renderer that was removed.
targetThe Object that dispatched the event; it is not always the Object listening for the event. Use the currentTarget property to always access the Object listening for the event.

The FeathersEventType.RENDERER_REMOVE event type is used by Feathers controls with item renderers to indicate when a renderer is removed. This event type is meant to be used with virtualized layouts where only a limited set of renderers will be created for a data provider that may include a larger number items.
triggered Event  
Event Object Type: starling.events.Event
Event.type property = starling.events.Event.TRIGGERED

Dispatched when the the user taps or clicks an item renderer in the list. The touch must remain within the bounds of the item renderer on release, and the list must not have scrolled, to register as a tap or a click.

The properties of the event object have the following values:

PropertyValue
bubblesfalse
currentTargetThe Object that defines the event listener that handles the event. For example, if you use myButton.addEventListener() to register an event listener, myButton is the value of the currentTarget.
dataThe item associated with the item renderer that was triggered.
targetThe Object that dispatched the event; it is not always the Object listening for the event. Use the currentTarget property to always access the Object listening for the event.

INTERACTION_MODE_MOUSEConstant 
public static const INTERACTION_MODE_MOUSE:String = mouse

The user may only interact with the scroll bars to scroll. The user cannot touch anywhere in the scroller's content and drag like a touch interface.

See also

INTERACTION_MODE_TOUCHConstant 
public static const INTERACTION_MODE_TOUCH:String = touch

The user may touch anywhere on the scroller and drag to scroll. The scroll bars will be visual indicator of position, but they will not be interactive.

See also

INTERACTION_MODE_TOUCH_AND_SCROLL_BARSConstant 
public static const INTERACTION_MODE_TOUCH_AND_SCROLL_BARS:String = touchAndScrollBars

The user may touch anywhere on the scroller and drag to scroll, and the scroll bars may be dragged separately. For most touch interfaces, this is not a common behavior. The scroll bar on touch interfaces is often simply a visual indicator and non-interactive.

One case where this mode might be used is a "scroll bar" that displays a tappable alphabetical index to navigate a GroupedList with alphabetical categories.
