How To Get Json Data into Jquery Mobile Application

cordova, jquery, jquery-mobile, json

Solution

Working jsFiddle example: http://jsfiddle.net/Gajotres/8uac7/

$(document).on('pagebeforeshow', '#home', function(e, data){      
    $.ajax({url: "http://api.themoviedb.org/2.1/Movie.search/en/json/23afca60ebf72f8d88cdcae2c4f31866/The Goonies",
        dataType: "jsonp",
        async: true,
        success: function (result) {
            ajax.parseJSONP(result);
        },
        error: function (request,error) {
            alert('Network error has occurred please try again!');
        }
    });         
});


var ajax = {  
    parseJSONP:function(result){
        $.each( result, function(i, row) {
            $('#movie-data').append('<li><a href="#headline"><img src="http://www.incine.fr/media/photos_films/original/1285_4bc92529017a3c57fe00ee84_1293130970.jpg" class="ui-li-has-thumb"/><h3>' + row.original_name+ '</h3><p>' + row.overview+ '</p></a></li>');
        });
        $('#movie-data').listview('refresh');
    }
}

In your case, just change dataType: "jsonp" to dataType: "json".

EDIT :

`document ready` should not be used with a `jQuery Mobile`. Usually it will trigger before a page is loaded into the `DOM`.

This can be fixed with an appropriate jQuery Mobile page event, like this:

$(document).on('pagebeforeshow', '#home', function(){      
  
});

More information about page events and how they work can be found in this ARTICLE, to be transparent it is my personal blog. Or find it HERE.

$.getJSON vs $.ajax

I prefer `$.ajax` because it works better with jQuery Mobile, specially if you need to `show/hide` ajax page loader or do a cross domain call like in my example. But all together it is the same.
