Arjan is a SAP Consultant specialized in ABAP and Front End development techniques like Web Dynpro, Adobe Interactive Forms, Flex and AIR. In his free time he likes to create examples for Flex-Blog and other applications using Flex, AIR and PHP. Other hobbies are movies and music. He is also the co-owner of Flex-Blog.com.

This small example shows you how you can create a List that has uses a MobileIconItemRenderer that has a decoratorClass that depends on the data.

Create a new Mobile Flex Project, give it a name and click finish. Navigator to the default home view and add a list, dataprovider and a method that creates some dummy data:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:View xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
        xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
        title="MobileIconItemRenderer" initialize="init()">
   
    <fx:Script>
        <![CDATA[
            import mx.collections.ArrayCollection;
           
            [Bindable]
            private var items:ArrayCollection;
           
           
            // Generate dummy data
            private function init():void
            {
                items = new ArrayCollection();
                var obj:Object;
               
                for( var i:int=0; i<10; i++ )
                {
                    obj = new Object();
                    obj.Name = "List item " + i;
                    obj.Description = "Description " + i;
                    obj.Status = i % 3;
                    items.addItem(obj);
                }
            }
           
        ]]>
    </fx:Script>
   
    <s:List id="myList" dataProvider="{items}" labelField="Name"
            width="100%" height="100%" itemRenderer="views.ListItemRenderer"/>
</s:View>

First create an assets package and add three icons to it, you can find the icons here.

You can see that the list uses an itemRenderer, create it by creating a new MXML component that’s based on MobileIconItemRenderer in the views package, name it ListItemRenderer. Add the following code to it:

<s:MobileIconItemRenderer xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
                          xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
                          messageField="Description">
    <fx:Script>
        <![CDATA[
           
            // Embed "Done" icon
            [Embed(source="assets/done.png")]
            private var iconDone:Class;
           
            // Embed "Open" icon
            [Embed(source="assets/open.png")]
            private var iconOpen:Class;
           
            // Embed "Progress" icon
            [Embed(source="assets/progress.png")]
            private var iconInProgress:Class;
           
            // Set decoratorClass depending on status
            override public function set data(value:Object):void
            {
                if(value != null)
                {
                    super.data = value;
                    var status:int  = value.Status;
                    var icon:Class;
                    switch(status){
                        case 0:
                            icon = iconOpen;
                            break;
                        case 1:
                            icon = iconInProgress;
                            break;
                        case 2:
                            icon = iconDone;
                            break;
                    }
                    this.decoratorClass = icon;
                }
            }
        ]]>
    </fx:Script>
</s:MobileIconItemRenderer>

Now run your application. If everything is ok, you should see a different icon for each of the statusses (1,2 or 3).
