Custom view classes
I'm loading a bunch of items from a database, per item I want to create a view, but it should be a view of it's own, it need to contain data specific for that view.
Is it possible to create a custom view class?
Or do I need to find another way around this?

I don't know if this is the right solution for my problem, but I fixed it by creating a new Window and setting the model mode to false.
Like this:
var listWindow = Ti.UI.createWindow({
modal: "false",
navBarHidden: "true",
touchEnabled: "true",
url: "list.js",
height: 100,
width: 100,
data: list
});listWindow.open();
All the windows are added to a scrollableView.
But I have a feeling that the window doesn't use the width and height, because the background of my entire application just changed to the background aplied in the window.

Windows can be very expensive in terms of resources like memory and slow, you should use views instead.

Why can't you simply update the controls on the view?
somelabel.value = 'New text from db';Put just the view layout settings in the js file. Then, update as needed with the code on-page.
