getValue undefined in Sencha Touch - sencha-touch

New to sencha touch here. I've checked out quite a few tutorials online. I am having an issue trying to get the value of a text field. The error I am getting when I click my login button is Uncaught TypeError: Cannot call method 'getValue' of undefined. Does that mean my Ext.getCmp is undefined then? I have this panel wrapped in the regular Ext.setup....onReady:.....
var login = new Ext.Panel({
height:'auto',
scroll:'vertical',
layout:{
type:'vbox',
align:'center'
},
items:[
{
cls:'launchscreen',
html:logo,
padding:10
},
new Ext.form.FormPanel({
width:300,
cls:'loginform',
items:[
{
xtype: 'fieldset',
title: 'Login',
items: [
{
xtype: 'textfield',
name : 'username',
label: 'Username',
labelWidth: 85
},
{
xtype: 'passwordfield',
name : 'password',
label: 'Password',
labelWidth: 85
}
]
},
{
xtype: 'button',
text: 'Submit',
ui: 'confirm',
handler:function()
{
alert(Ext.getCmp('username').getValue());
}
}
]
})
]
});
EDIT: I was able to get the value if I set the id property on the text field. I've seen some example where the id isn't set and they get the value based off the name property. So I guess my question now is am I supposed to get the value based off id or name?

Using Ext.getCmp() you have to provide the ID of the element whose value you want. See Sencha API doc's for this:
getCmp( String id )
This is shorthand reference to Ext.ComponentManager.get. Looks up an existing Component by id
Parameters
id : String
The component id
You can also find the element by name, but I think it is faster by ID but perhaps also a bit expensive for the browser's engine. Can't say anything about that really.
Anyway, finding field by name is possible by using findField() method. With this method you should provide the id or name of the field that you want. See API doc: http://docs.sencha.com/ext-js/4-0/#!/api/Ext.form.Basic-method-findField
Example:
var fieldValue= Ext.getCmp("YourFormID").getForm().findField("FieldName").getValue();

sencha touch select field change event not firing if store has duplicate names

sencha touch select field change event not firing if store has duplicate names
suppose my data looks like
options: [{
text: 'Sencha Touch',
value: 'extjs'
}, {
text: 'Sencha Touch',
value: 'senchatouch'
}, {
text: 'Sencha Animator',
value: 'animator'
}, {
text: 'Sencha Designer',
value: 'designer'
}], // options
for the above code the change event not fired for same text
help me?
change event only fires when the new value is actually different from the old value. Not just for select fields, but for all field.

rally search user by first character

I want to realize the functionality that we can search the users' name by typing in the first character of their names. I need to use Javascript to create a custom html.
Is there anyone who has done this before could help me?
In the example from this repository, a user combobox Rally.ui.combobox.UserComboBox searches for matching values dynamically based on the first couple of characters.
This default functionality displays the expected values after the second character is entered.
var u = Ext.create('Rally.ui.combobox.UserComboBox',{
id: 'u',
project: project,
fieldLabel: 'select user',
listeners:{
ready: function(combobox){
this._onUserSelected(combobox.getRecord());
},
select: function(combobox){
this._onUserSelected(combobox.getRecord());
},
scope: this
}
});
this.add(u);
},
If you want to load all users (do not limit the selection to team members and editors of a specific project) you may use Rally.ui.combobox.Combobox instead of Rally.ui.combobox.UserComboBox, and set the model to User. But to workaround a default behavior where only the current user populates the combobox, use a filter that would filter in all users. In the example below ObjectID > 0 is used. This combobox will be populated by all users independently of the project picker. This fragment is not a part of a custom app example above:
{
xtype: 'rallycombobox',
fieldLabel: 'select project',
storeConfig: {
autoLoad: true,
model: 'User',
filters:[
{
property: 'ObjectID',
operator: '>',
value: 0
}
],
sorters: [
{
property: 'UserName',
direction: 'ASC'
}
]
}
}
You'll want to use the Web Services API. Here's how I would do it...
The API doesn't allow you to specify a placement of a character in the filter, but you can require that it exists somewhere in the name, that filter would look like:
[{
property : "FirstName",
operator : "contains",
value : "A" //Whatever letter you're looking to start with
}]
Now, once the store is loaded, use a second function to filter the records to only those which start with your character:
store.filterBy(function(item) {
return item.get("FirstName")[0] === "A";
});
Hope this helps :)

How to hide/unhide clear icon from textbox in sencha?

I would like to hide clear icon from textbox in sencha control through code.
How to do it?
Please provide sample code.
Thanks
Try this ::
{
xtype : 'textfield',
clearIcon : false,
name : 'name',
id : 'whatever'
}
There's a config property called clearIcon that you can toggle.
You can add this to you global CSS
.x-field-clearable.clear-icon-hidden .x-field-input .x-clear-icon {
display: none;
}
and then when you want to hide the clear icon of a field you just get your field and do
field.addCls('clear-icon-hidden');
Hope this helps
You can simply set the clearIcon config to false. Like this,
Ext.getCmp('ID OF THE TEXTFIELD').setClearIcon(false);
Example:
xtype: 'fieldset',
title: 'MyFieldSet',
items: [
{
xtype: 'textfield',
id: 'textfield1',
label: ''
},
Solution:
Ext.getCmp('textfield1').setClearIcon(false);
Since I'm not sure what version of Ext JS this was pertaining to, here is an update for Ext JS 6.5.x as it no longer uses clearIcon.
{
xtype: 'textfield',
itemId: 'tfLastName',
label: 'Last Name',
value: 'Allord',
*clearable: false*,
editable: false
},
This is also for the modern toolkit, per Sencha documentation; the classic toolkit doesn't have this feature.

Search Option in Textbox

I am using ExtJs4.I have a form in my web application in which there is text box.The scenario is to provide an AJAX like search(like Google) when any key is pressed in the text box.Search will look into a web service and display the result(JSON object) in drop drown.Similar to Google search.
Is there any idea,link or tutorial for doing this?
Thanks
You could use ComboBox for this. With trigger or without one (that looks like a TextBox).
Sencha provides good examples:
http://docs.sencha.com/ext-js/4-0/#!/example/form/combos.html
http://docs.sencha.com/ext-js/4-0/#!/example/form/forum-search.html
This is a simple example:
{
xtype: 'combo',
id: 'myCombo',
store: Ext.create('Ext.data.ArrayStore', {
model: Ext.define('ComboModel', {
extend: 'Ext.data.Model',
fields: ['id','data1','data2']
}),
proxy: {
type: 'ajax',
url : 'data.json',
reader: {
type: 'array'
}
}
}),
triggerAction: 'query',
minChars: 2,
fieldLabel: 'Search',
displayField: 'data1',
msgTarget: 'side',
triggerCls : 'x-form-search-trigger', // Search Icon For Instance
listConfig: {
getInnerTpl: function() {
return '<div>{data1}</div><div>{data2}</div>';
}
}
}
And JSON file:
[
['1','data1-1','data2-1'],
['2','data1-2','data2-2'],
['3','data1-3','data2-3'],
['4','data1-4','data2-4'],
['5','data1-5','data2-5']
]
Try this example: http://docs.sencha.com/ext-js/4-0/#!/example/form/forum-search.html
I think this example http://docs.sencha.com/ext-js/4-1/#!/example/form/forum-search.html will be interesting for you. This realization use standard combobox control. In your case you need to set minChars property = 1, in this case store binded to Combobox will generate standard READ query with filter param to server. You can generate results there.

How to use setOptions method of select field with a store

I can use the setOptions method to successfully specify the options of a select field as follows:
setOptions(
[ {text: 'First Option', value: 'first'},
{text: 'Second Option', value: 'second'},
{text: 'Third Option', value: 'third'}
])
However, I would instead like setOptions to work with a loaded data store rather than hard coding the text/value array like above.
The store has one item type in it 'vehicle' and the json response from the server which loads it is of the form {'vehicle' :'mercedes'}, {'vehicle' 'jaguar'} (ignore if I have the json syntax wrong, am typing this from memory. And finally, I would be fine with having the value field being the same as the text field for setOptions.
However, I am stumped how to accomplish this. Many thanks to anyone who can help me.
Use this:
{ id: 'theSelect',
name: 'vechicleSelect',
xtype: 'selectfield',
store: storeObejct,
displayField: 'vehicle',
valueField: 'vehicle'
}
Read the whole API here Sencha Touch selectfield
You could cycle through the store and push the data into an array then use the array as the argument for setOptions.
To add to warmachine's answer...
In your view:
{
xtype: 'selectfield',
id: 'NameId',
label: 'Name',
labelWrap: true,
placeHolder: 'name'
},
Controller or initialize function in your view:
initialize: function(){
var me = this;
me.callParent(arguments);
var sto= Ext.getStore('Persons');
sto.load();
var options = [];
sto.each(function(record){
options.push({
value: record.get('displayname'),
text: record.get('displayname')
});
});
var box = Ext.ComponentQuery.query('#NameId')[0];
box.setOptions(options);
},
