iOS Question Max records of List

[Graeme Mitchell]

Is a List limited to 2048 records? if I need to read in 6000 "lines" is there a better option?

Lazy loading or you reload the list when the user reaches position x

I wish i could but I need to add 6000 items to the list so they can select any item from the loaded 6000

With a search?

 

[Alexander Stolte]

How high are the items in dip?

 

[Graeme Mitchell]

there is 5800 part numbers that is loaded to a picker, person selects the one they want and then it is looked up in a table

 

[Alexander Stolte]

person selects the one they want

i doubt he scrolls through 5600 items to select anything, unless it's the tiktok or instagram reels page.

So in my test of 6 thousand items with a height of 200dip per item, the list scrolls in release mode without visible problems. Just add the base panel and load the content via lazy loading, then you shouldn't have any performance problems when scrolling. The only thing that is stupid is the loading time when adding the 6000 thousand items, unfortunately there is nothing that can speed this up.

But I would recommend you to reload the site while scrolling, then you add the 1st 500 items on the 1st load, then the loading time is hardly noticeable and if your user is really so crazy and continues scrolling at 400 items, then you reload the next 200 items and so on and so on...

Thank you, i will try that

Tried this and it does work for the picker, but there is another option to type in the part if you know it, i still require a method to load all records to a list or something like that

Then let the user enter this and load the list with the information he enters? Does the data come from a sqlite?

 

[Graeme Mitchell]

Azure table, as far as loading 2048 part numbers it is very fast

 

[Alexander Stolte]

Then you can certainly only query the things that the user is looking for, or?

 

[Graeme Mitchell]

the thought was load in 5300 parts into the picker, then when they choose the part then load the rest of the data. Can a MAP hold more records than a List?

I dont know

the thought was load in 5300 parts into the picker

Makes little sense in my opinion. It makes more sense to load the data into a sqlite and then work with it. A list with over 5 thousand items makes absolutely no sense
