Creating basic mobile layout

  • HTML
  • <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html>
    <head>
        <title>Splitpane</title>
    <link href="http://cdn.syncfusion.com/14.3.0.49/js/mobile/ej.mobile.all.min.css"rel="stylesheet"/>
    <script src="http://cdn.syncfusion.com/js/assets/external/jquery-1.10.2.min.js"></script>

    <script src="http://cdn.syncfusion.com/14.3.0.49/js/mobile/ej.mobile.all.min.js"></script>
    </head>
    <body>
                    <!--Add Splitpane Element here-->
    </body>
    </html>

    Create a SplitPane control

    To render the SplitPane control, you need to set data-role attribute to ejmsplitpane to a div element.

    Refer the following code example.

  • HTML
  • <div id="defaultsplitpane" data-role="ejmsplitpane">
            <div data-ej-pane="left" id="leftPane">
                <!--Left pane content-->	
            </div>
            <div data-ej-pane="content" id="contentPane">
                <!--Content pane content-->	
            </div>
        </div>

    Add pane content

    To set left pane or right pane header title by Navigationbar control with the desired template content, set it as user profile. Use ListView control with template support to display the left pane or right pane content.

    To set content pane header title by Navigationbar control with the desired title, set it as Inbox. Use ListView control with template support to display the content pane’s content. When you click the left pane or right pane list item, you can update the content pane content through ListView by setting the dataSource to it. The left pane or right pane list item selection is handled by listItemSelect function.

    Left pane configuration

    The data-ej-leftpane-showontablet attribute is used to specifies the leftpane visibility for tablet devices. If this property set as false, the leftpane will be hidden and it will be open from left side window on swipe.

    Refer to the following code example.

    <div class="default splitpane control">
            <div id="defaultsplitpane" data-role="ejmsplitpane" data-ej-leftpane-showontablet="true">
                <div data-ej-pane="left" id="leftPane">
                    <div id="leftHeader" data-role="ejmnavigationbar" style="height:130px;">
                        <div id="userimg">
                        </div>
                        <div id="username">
                            Orville M. Brown
                        </div>
                    </div>

    Run this code and you can see the following output.

    LeftPane-Content

    Right pane configuration

    The data-ej-rightpane-showontablet attribute is used to specifies the rightpane visibility for tablet devices. If this property set as false, the rightpane will be hidden and it will be open from right side window on swipe.

    Refer to the following code example.
