Well i tried to work with your code, but I must be unsure how to implement it, as when i run it, dies on me, without telling me whats wrong with my code. I am new to working with javascript debugging so. I haven't a clue whats wrong here.
so here is my whole default.js
// For an introduction to the Blank template, see the following documentation:
// http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=232509
(function () {
"use strict";
WinJS.Binding.optimizeBindingReferences = true;
var app = WinJS.Application;
var activation = Windows.ApplicationModel.Activation;
// var articlesList;
var feedItems = [];
app.onactivated = function (args) {
if (args.detail.kind === activation.ActivationKind.launch) {
if (args.detail.previousExecutionState !== activation.ApplicationExecutionState.terminated) {
// TODO: This application has been newly launched. Initialize
// your application here.
} else {
// TODO: This application has been reactivated from suspension.
// Restore application state here.
}
args.setPromise(WinJS.UI.processAll().then(generateSampleData));
}
};
function generateSampleData() {
var items = new Array();
WinJS.xhr({ url: 'http://blogs.msdn.com/b/windowsstore/rss.aspx' }).done(function (result) {
var xmlDoc = new Windows.Data.Xml.Dom.XmlDocument();
xmlDoc.loadXml(result.responseText);
var nodes = xmlDoc.selectNodes("//item");
nodes.forEach(function (val, idx, travObj) {
var title = val.selectSingleNode("title").innerText;
var description = val.selectSingleNode("description").innerText;
var link = val.selectSingleNode("link").innerText;
var newItem = {
title: title,
summary: description,
uri: link
};
items.push(newItem);
});
//DataUtils.feedItems = items;
feedItems = items;
});
console.log(DataUtils.feedItems);
// Each of these sample groups must have a unique key to be displayed
// separately.
var sampleItems = items;
// return sampleItems;
return feedItems;
}
WinJS.Namespace.define("DataUtils", {
feedItems: feedItems }
);
app.oncheckpoint = function (args) {
// TODO: This application is about to be suspended. Save any state
// that needs to persist across suspensions here. You might use the
// WinJS.Application.sessionState object, which is automatically
// saved and restored across suspension. If you need to complete an
// asynchronous operation before your application is suspended, call
// args.setPromise().
};
app.start();
})();
ran it again, and found
Exception was thrown at line 5840, column 33 in ms-appx://microsoft.winjs.1.0/js/base.js
