21 Dec 202213 minutes to read

You can customize the ListView using the template property. Refer to the following steps to customize ListView as mobile contact view with our ej2-avatar.

• Render the ListView with dataSource that has avatar data. You can set avatar data as either text or class names. Refer to the following codes.

    List<object> listdata = new List<object>();
    listdata.Add(new
    {
        text = "Jenifer",
        contact = "(206) 555-985774",
        id = "1",
        avatar = "",
        pic = "pic01"
    });
        listdata.Add(new
    {
        text = "Amenda",
        contact = "[phone]",
        id = "2",
        avatar = "A",
        pic = ""
    });

• Set avatar classes in ListView template to customize contact icon. In the following codes, medium size avatar has been set using the class name e-avatar e-avatar-circle from data source.

  var template: "<div class='settings'>" +
            "${if(avatar!=='')}" +
            "<span class='e-avatar e-avatar-circle'>${avatar}</span>" +
            "${else}" +
            "<span class='${pic} e-avatar e-avatar-circle'> </span>" +
            "${/if}" +
            "<div id='content'>" +
            "<div class='name'>${text}</div>" +
            "<div id='info'>${contact}</div>" +
            "</div>";

NOTE

Avatars can be set in different sizes in avatar classes. To know more about avatar classes, refer to Avatar.

• Sort the contact names using the sortOder property of ListView.

• Enable the showHeader property, and set the headerTitle as Contacts.
