Validators for mobile

[Jolien]

Hi,

Is the validator functionality available for the mobile version too? All the examples are subject to web development and I can't get it working inside my mobile application. 

I keep getting the error 'Object has no method kendoValidator' when executing the following code on a div called login that contains the fields that I want to validate.

<div data-role="view" id="login">

        <h2>Log in</h2>

        <ul data-role="listview" data-style="inset">

            <li>

                <input type="text" style="width:60%" id="emailinput" required/>

                E-mail

            </li>

            <li>

                <input type="password" style="width:60%" id="passwordinput" required />

                Password

            </li>

        </ul>

         <a class="button" data-role="button" data-click="logIn" style="float: right; margin: 1em 1em 0 0 ">Log in</a>

    </div>

$("#login").kendoValidator({

                 messages: {

                   // defines message for the 'custom' validation rule

                   custom: "Please enter valid value for my custom rule",

                   // overrides the built-in message for required rule

                   required: "My custom required message"

                }

             });

Hello Jolien,

Thanks for contacting us. Currently, the validators are not included in the mobile distribution. We are going to address this problem in our next internal build, however. Your telerik points have been updated for this finding. 

Kind regards,

Hi Iliana, may i know is the trial version of kendoUI that i download through the "download Kendo UI" link support the validator in mobile distribution?

Hi tan,

The Kendo UI trial download includes all Kendo UI flavors (Web, DataViz, Mobile). I believe this answers your question positively.

Thanks for the reply. I need some help here. I have tried out something that similar to below code sample:

$("#myform").kendoValidator({
    rules: {
        custom: function(input){
            return input.val() === "Test";
        },
        foo: function(input){
            return input.val() === "Foo";
        }
    },
    messages: {
        custom: "Your name must be Test",
        foo: "Your name must be Foo"
    }
});

and able to allow only "Test" to login to another page. But instead of hardcode as "Test", I want to do validation that load data from xml. Which means that if my xml having username "ABC" and "XYZ", then only user that type in "ABC" or "XYZ" can log in to my next page. I had search through many examples but still getting no clue. I am doing in mobile.

Appreciate for any help. Thank you.

Hi tan,

In order to achieve the desired functionality you need a custom implementation. For example you could use the DataSource component to read the data. Hence with the jQuery inArray() method check if the specified value presents in the data.
