Refresh Data on Database
I have successfully created my iphone app except for one last piece. I cant get the data to refresh in the background. I have tried setTimeout() and setInterval(). Both do nothing. I put the setInterval at the bottom of app.js and its like it never get called. I put setTimeout at the end of the function I want called every so often and nothing. I can close the app and open it and the data changes successfully.
Any help is appreciated.

Hey Sherman,
setInterval should be the way to go since you want it to occur every x milliseconds vs once in x milliseconds.
Perhaps you're using setInteval incorrectly, or not using setData to update what you see on screen? There isn't any databinding so you'll have to manually update the data used by a tableView.
Hopefully this will get you going:
// create table view var tableview = Titanium.UI.createTableView({ data:data }); setInterval (doSomething, 5000); // runs every 5 seconds function doSomething () { data = []; // do something to update the array data tableView.setData(data); } -
Hey did you solved this ?
I also have to relaunch the app to refresh the data on the iphone thank you !!! -
No. I ended up just refreshing the whole page every so often. I will get back on this soon and get it to do it the right way.
