"Making a Well Structured Kendo UI Mobile App in Icenium with Require.js" http://codingwithspike.wordpress.com/2012/11/30/making-a-well-structured-kendo-ui-mobile-app-in-icenium-with-require-js/ This blog post above was my starting point, though I am not using Icenium (just KendoUI and PhoneGap Build). The one thing I did not like about this set…

Great tutorial, thanks!
I'm just wondering if it would be possible to create the sturcture of the app in the index.html and append each view to the correct div?

Hi there,

I am trying to populate the viewModel in view's init event. The viewModel gets the data but it doesn't reflects on view. I had to rebind the view with viewModel to show the updated value.

My view file looks as below:

define([ 'jquery', 'kendo'], function ($, kendo) {
var viewModel = kendo.observable({
Name:"",
PopulateName: function() {
this.set("Name", "value from remote datasource");
}
});

return {
init: function (event) {
viewModel.PopulateName();
// I had to rebind the view with viewModel to show the updated value of Name in view
},
viewModel: viewModel
};
});

Please advice, should I rebind the view or is there any better alternate solution.
