I want to make a history tab using a listview but i have a problem

[Franko]

So, I'm working on an app where you can search for items and i have a list view which is supposed to be my history tab so if you type what u want to search and you click the search button it sends what u typed to the history tab so when you click on the(history)
list view it shows you a list of the items you searched but instead of the items appearing vertically they appear horizontally
in a bracket.

@Franko

it shows you a list of the items you searched but instead of the items appearing vertically they appear horizontally
in a bracket.

Pass the list through a
JOIN with separator \n
block.

[Franko]

Thanks,but please can you show me the block for that

I would have done that but I'm currently on an older version of app inventor and dont know how to upgrade

[dora_paz]

Update companion to latest version 2.61 or 2.61u

[dora_paz]

Also you have to scroll to the end, block should be below look up in pairs key block. This block has nothing to do with latest update.

[Franko]

Sorry, but I don't know how to do that

[dora_paz]

May I ask, are you using an offline version of App Inventor or ... ? Cause I believe you do not use

http://ai2.appinventor.mit.edu/ or http://code.appinventor.mit.edu/

[Franko]

Oh, I do use the offline version

[dora_paz]

Download aia and upload it to http://ai2.appinventor.mit.edu/

Here is a blocks procedure to do the same thing as that list block ...

join_with_separator.aia (2.4 KB)

You could code a specific procedure copy for cases where you would like to use \n as the separator, and keep the leading separator that this version removes.
