Pull to refresh and navigation #332

Open markleusink opened 10 years ago

markleusink commented 10 years ago

Suppose 10 records show in a list and I use 'pull to refresh' 2 times to show an additional 20 (30 in total). If I then open a record and close it, it returns to the original list containing the first 10 documents. I would expect the controls to remember that it already showed me 30 records, so I can continue were I left of.

Possible solution to this issue would be to update the history object when performing a 'pull to refresh' (adding an extra URL parameter indicating the number of documents that are loaded in total). Additional, the controls could also keep track of your location within the list (maybe using HTML anchors?) so you can return to the exact same position you left off.

The problem is that if we took this further and you'd loaded 300 documents, the performance of the page load when you go back would be very bad indeed.

You're right: I have a test database with 40,000 documents and it takes about 5 seconds to render 300 documents. On the other side: I don't think that users would do a pull to refresh 15 times (assuming 20 recs at a time) to find what they're looking for. A search would be a lot better then.

I think we'll add it to the 3.1 to do list if that's OK. There's a lot of things we still need to work out for 3.0
