[Solved] Dropdown liats not working in appbuilder

[Alan Mosley]

I have quite simple dropdown in a hybrid app, but when selecting id does not select. when trying for the second time you can see that 2 options are selected but choice has not changed in collapsed view.
Thanks

<div id="near-km2"></div>
<script>
    function load() {


        var kmData = [{ text: "5km", value: "5" },
    { text: "10km", value: "10" },
    { text: "25km", value: "25" },
    { text: "50km", value: "50" }];

        $("#near-km2").kendoDropDownList({
            dataTextField: "text",
            dataValueField: "value",
            dataSource: kmData,
            index: 1
        });
    }
</script>

this problem is only in simulator, I found this worked fine when tested in device
Thanks

Hello Alan,

In general, the DropDownList widget supports only input and select HTML elements. Initializing a DropDownList over a div element is not correct and will cause many unexpected behaviors. I would suggest you change your code like this:

<input id="near-km2" />
<script>
    function load() {


        var kmData = [{ text: "5km", value: "5" },
    { text: "10km", value: "10" },
    { text: "25km", value: "25" },
    { text: "50km", value: "50" }];

        $("#near-km2").kendoDropDownList({
            dataTextField: "text",
            dataValueField: "value",
            dataSource: kmData,
            index: 1
        });
    }
</script>

Thanks., I did have it as a input, but changed to a div after seeing someone else having that way, I was willing to try anything.
Thanks

I should also add, that it still does not work in simulator.
Thanks

Hello Alan,

I tried to replicate the issue, but widget works as expected in the simulator. Here is a screencast of my test. Let me know if I am missing something.

Hello Alan,

I was able to replicate the issue locally thanks to the screenshot. Thank you for the additional information.
I forwarded the problem to the dev team responsible for the AppBuilder simulator. It will be addressed soon.

As a gratitude for your involvement I updated your Telerik points.
