How do I change the layout of an Appixia BasicItemListActivity module?

Question

When using the simple item list module BasicItemListActivity you don't have the ability to customize the layout of the item list, you can only change the colors. What should I do when I want a customization like having a list with several images per item or several text fields / prices?

Answer 1

The BasicItemListActivity is a bit too simple for these requirements. What you're looking for is actually one of the powerful views like ItemGridView (for tables or grids) or ItemCarouselView (for carousels).

Each of these views actually displays another custom view for each of the items you have. A good view to choose for this purpose is BasicItemCellView - which offers a lot of customization on how each item in the list is presented. Don't forget to connect the BasicItemCellView to the container view using the CellModule property.
