    I am attempting to convert my JSON data to a Kendo UI Mobile Listview. my php script outputs this data:

    [{"eventID":"1","name":"test","time":"12:00:00","category":"####","subcategory":"####","description":"Event for testing purposes","locationID":"1","picturePath":"http:\/\/####\/~z3370257\/images\/1.jpg"},{"eventID":"2","name":"test2","time":"13:00:00","category":"####","subcategory":"SEIT","description":"Event for testing purposes2","locationID":"1","picturePath":"http:\/\/####\/~z3370257\/images\/1.jpg"}]


    This JS Fiddle uses the same html css and javascript file that my app does. 

    My question is, what do I need to put in my transport & read methods to get it to interpret the data correctly.

    Hi Michael,

     You basically need to set the url setting of transport.read to your PHP file. It is quite similar to your jsfiddle setup:

    var eventData = new kendo.data.DataSource({
        transport: {
            read: {
                url: "/your-page.php",
                dataType: "json",
                type: "POST"
            }
        }
    });
