View data-reload=true, but it doesnt refresh data source

[Filip]

Hello,

did I understand the purpose of data-reload correctly? I would like to refresh my data source every time I navigate to a view, but it doesnt happen. Ajax request is not being sent.

At the moment i am using dataSource.read() and I call it on data-show event on a view. However that makes 2 Ajax requests when i access the page for the first time, so its not a perfect solution.

Hope I was clear, thank you in advance.

data-reload is applicable to remote views only, is that your case?

[Filip]

Yes my view is remote. I call it like this:

app.navigate("views/myView.html");
source: http://docs.kendoui.com/api/mobile/application#methods-navigate

View contains a DOM component which is tied to remote data source. But this data source is read only first time I navigate to the view.

Hello Fillip,

Instead of reloading the entire view, I would like to suggest that you stick with calling read() in the show event, while setting the autoBind configuration option of the widget to false.
