Image lists give the user different options that they can choose. This user interface can seen in the BlackBerry options area.

Image List Image List

Creating an image list is really simple and begins with creating a <div> that has the attribute data-bb-type="image-list". Each item in the list is another <div> that has the attribute data-bb-type="item". Each item has an image (data-bb-img), a title (data-bb-title), accent text that floats in the top right (data-bb-accent-text), and a description which is the inner contents of the <div>. An image list can have both headers and line items. A header is declared by creating a <div> with a data-bb-type="header" attribute and the contents of the header are displayed as the label.
Headers have their text centered by default. To left justify your header text add the data-bb-justify="left" or to right justify your text add the **data-bb-justify="right"**attribute to your header.

Image Sizes

  • BlackBerry 5 & 6 - 60 x 60 pixels

  • BlackBerry PlayBook & BlackBerry 7 - 70 x 70 pixels

  • BlackBerry PlayBook with BB10 styling - 64 x 64 pixels

  • BlackBerry 10 - 119 x 119 pixels

    My sample header
    Use native looking input controls
    Style your list like the BlackBerry Inbox
    Create native looking options screens
    Look at me
    Generate a chat window like BBM
    Use pill buttons to organize your data
    Add charts to your application
    Use gauges and progress bars
    Use tabs to organize your data
    Create a navigation list with arrows

To add a click event to one of the line items, simply add an onclick event to the <div>

<div data-bb-type="item" onclick="alert('clicked')" data-bb-img="icon9.png" data-bb-title="Guages">Use gauges and progress bars</div>

Context Menu Integration

If you want to attach a BlackBerry 10 context menu to your image list you can add the data-bb-context="true" attribute. This will automatically hook up your image list to the press and hold context menu that you have declared for the screen. When the image list item is pressed and held for 667ms it will peek the screen's context menu passing the title and description of the list item along with a handle to the item element. See the Context Menu area for mor details of interacting with the menu.

NOTE: The context menu integration with the image list only works on BlackBerry 10
