On itemClick method, e.sender._selectedItemIndex returns previous value

[Deniz]

I want to reach selected item's index in the drawer widget. When I examine e.sender from console like this,

console.log(e.sender);

I can find updated value of e.sender._selectedItemIndex.

However, when I want to use e.sender._selectedItemIndex variable directly I get previous value of e.sender._selectedItemIndex. For example, If I open drawer for the first time and select an first item, from console I can see that e.sender's _selectedItemIndex variable is equal to 0 but console.log(e.sender._selectedItemIndex) prints undefined. When I select any other item from drawer, now console.log(e.sender._selectedItemIndex) prints 0. How can I reach and use e.sender._selectedItemIndex's updated value in itemClick function?

Hi Deniz, 

It is correct that the itemClick event is triggered before the selection of the drawer has been changed. Therefore, it would always return the previously selected item. 

You could access the currently clicked item via the event arguments:

var item = e.item

Is there a specific functionality that you are willing to achieve and the above code snippet would not be applicable there?

 

Kind regards,

Hi,

This is not exactly what I've been looking for but this will help my way to solution.
