Hello,

Thanks, I reproduced the problem. Unfortunately, I was not able to modify the page on my side, due to the web service references, so I am not certain if the provided solution will work.

The problem is that the menuList ListView is initialized in the document.ready event. After that, the mobile application view re-initializes it, and removes its datasource.

Although technically correct, this behavior may be misleading - so we are going to prevent secondary widget initialization for the final release.

Can you please try moving the menuList initialization in the view init method? In the other thread, I gave some examples for that.
