MarkupList example does not include MarkupList
It seems like the Markup List XML Component Example on this page is incorrect, in that it does not actually include a MarkupList

Re: MarkupList example does not include MarkupList
- That seems like doco bug - indeed wrong example on the MarkupList page, pls log it somewhere
- I doubt very much that MarkupList can be layout horizontally - but in truth, i have no clue
- Is the example from here any help? https://sdkdocs.roku.com/display/sdkdoc/Lists+and+Grids+Markup#ListsandGridsMarkup-MarkupListMarkup

Re: MarkupList example does not include MarkupList
Thanks EnTerr - seems that the MarkupGrid Example XML suffers from the same lack of the component it's supposed to be an example of
https://sdkdocs.roku.com/display/sdkdoc/MarkupGrid
I'll play around with that example and sure there's a way to achieve it, but seems it would've been most convenient if we could display a MarkupList horizontally in addition to vertically, since then the focus and navigation would be handled out of the box.
Update, maybe there's a way to do it using RowList with only a single row in the vertical direction. I'll do some experimenting.
cheers

Try a MarkupGrid with numRows set to 1. That should scroll horizontally.

Re: MarkupList example does not include MarkupList
Thanks TheEndless! I got it working with Rowlist but looks like you're right, and MarkupGrid is slightly less complex, might be worth switching it up. thanks again.

Re: MarkupList example does not include MarkupList
Aaaaargh - well, I'm stuck.
MarkupGrid does not provide animations like RowList does ("rowFocusAnimationStyle").
And RowList does not seem to allow variable width elements; "rowItemSize" applies to the whole row.
So is there some combination that provides a scrolling horizontal row with variable width elements?

Re: MarkupList example does not include MarkupList
MarkupGrid uses "horizFocusAnimationStyle" (from ArrayGrid) for controlling scroll behavior on a single row grid.

Re: MarkupList example does not include MarkupList
Awesome, I don't know why I didn't realize that before, given that link on the doc page "Extends: ArrayGrid"
Thanks TheEndless, maybe what I want is possible with existing components after all!
Thank you!!!
