Answer 1

Hi nhattuanbl,

Let's say while you click on item and navigate to another page, save some flag in WinJS.Application local/temp object. While back to the page, first check if there is any flag, if there is, load the data programmatically to the listview before the HTML rendered to your user.

There is no cache in WinJS page, unlike XAML NavigationCacheMode enumeration

Answer 2

Can you write some code to "save flag" and how to restore it ?

I'm not learn XAML, javascript only please.

Answer 3

Well, the "flag" I mentioned here is used to identify whether the user first time visit the page, if user first visit the page, the "flag" should be empty and therefore you let the user clock the button to fill the listview.

If the user return to current page from another page, there should be a "flag" stored while user leave current page, then you can programmatically insert data to listview.

I'm not talking about XAML, it's JavaScript logic thing.

Well, to save a "flag", please ref to the documentation ApplicationData.LocalSettings | localSettings property

var applicationData = Windows.Storage.ApplicationData.current;

var localSettings = applicationData.localSettings;

// Create a simple setting

localSettings.values["pageVisited"] = "yes";

// Read data from a simple setting

var value = localSettings.values["pageVisited"];
        
if (!value)
{
    // No data
}
else
{
    // Access data in value
}

// Delete a simple setting

localSettings.values.remove("pageVisited");
