How to show all items in gallery before clicking on filter

[Siyaho]

Currently, I am fetching data from a table, but when I enter the screen, the gallery is empty. Only if I choose a button, it shows the results...

How can I have some 'default' value when I enter the screen or - even better - show all items from the table? I tried to set the visible parameter, but nothing seems to work.

 Hi @Siyaho,

Could you please share  bit more about your app configure?

How you set the Items property of the Gallery and why you have to click a button to display the Gallery items?

Generally, a Gallery has its Items property to display as it is set, like I set the Items property with a SP list name, then the Gallery will automatically display all the items within.

There must be some extra settings for the Gallery or the Button that you do not tell us.

This is the gallery item code:

Search(HeedCollection, TextInput3_5.Text, "title"

This is the button code:

ClearCollect(HeedCollection, RSS.ListFeedItems("MYFEEDHERE"))

I don't know how to set the RSSfeed into a collection and then do a search on this collection.... it seems like I am not setting the collection properly.

There are three elements: a button, search and the gallery itself.

Crazy thing = if I change HeedCollection with the actual RSS feed, it works. But then, the search is super slow.... 😞

Does this help?

Hi @Siyaho,

If you want to display all the items within the Gallery when there is nothing input within the TextInput3, please modify your formula as below:

If(!IsBlank(TextInput3_5.Text),Search(HeedCollection, TextInput3_5.Text, "title"),HeedCollection)

[Siyaho]

I tried this, but it did not work. For HeedCollection, it says: "we did not find any data"

Again, if I change HeedCollection to the direct link of my RSS feed, it works... why is that and how can I change that? It seems like I can not set the RSS feed to that variable. Where do I have to do this?

Hi @Siyaho,

I get what you mean! I think the collection should be generated on the OnStart property of the App so that once the app is on, the HeedCollection appears. Then you could display the Gallery as you search in the search box.

Oh wow, this is interesting. But what if I have multiple sources per page? There is only one app, of course... but some pages are fetching other lists from different feeds. How to do that?

[Siyaho]

I mean like: can we do something like this:
If (Screen1),

Set(
ClearCollect(HeedCollection,
RSS.ListFeedItems("MyRSSfeed"))
)

If (Screen 2),

Set(

ClearCollect(HeedCollection2,
RSS.ListFeedItems("MyRSSfeed"))
)

Etc? Or only one source?
