Hello *,
I am looking for a convenient way to provide a nice UI for my app(s)
without having to tangle UI and application code too much. So when I
came across the EFL, I became curious. At first glance Edje seems to be
close to what I am looking for, but after reading the Edje Dev Guide I
have a question:
Suppose I have a list of strings with a lot of entries (> 1000). Further
suppose, that this list changes frequently (at least once per minute)
without user interaction (i.e. the change is triggered by the backend).
What is the best way to expose this via Edje?
To elaborate a bit:
* Chapter 5 of the Edje Dev Guide mentions that events can come from
Edje, from the user, or from the window manager. How about events
that occurr in the application itself?
* Do I have to store each entry in the list as an Edje text part? I
feel reluctant to keep two copies of a each object that my app
exposes to the UI: one in the app backend and one in the UI part.
Is there a way to have Edje fetch the 30 or so entries, that are on
screen simultaniously, from the backend? I.e. is it possible to
create a UI that pulls object from the backend lazyly?
Well, that were more than enough questions for a newbie on the list ;)
Thanks for any replies,
Felix
