Sections in Dynamic Options

Question

In the Video around 15:50 mark, the ability to group dynamic options (in custom intents) into sections was demonstrated using the new INObjectCollection & INObjectSection classes. I have been trying to use these in my Intents, but my dynamic options keep showing up as a single un-sectioned list. Are sectioned dynamic options not yet available in beta 3?

Answer 1

They are available in beta 3. The Soup Chef sample code project has an example for the soup parameter that you can see.

Answer 2

I'm doing this exactly as done in the Soup Chef sample code project, yet my sections only appear when searching/filtering, not dynamic options when unfiltered. Is this intended behavior?

Answer 3

The sections appear for SoupChef without filtering or searching. Can you supply a link to a small sample project (most ideal) or attach some code snippets here?

Here created a quick & dirty sample project: https://github.com/samueljjacobs/Sample-Intents-DynamicOptionsSections

The project contains a custom Intent to configure a WidgetKit Widget. The code used to provide options in the intent handler is :-

Code Block NSMutableArray *sections = [NSMutableArray new];
for (NSUInteger i=0; i<10; i++) {
       NSString *uuidString = [NSUUID UUID].UUIDString;
       [sections addObject:[[INObjectSection alloc] initWithTitle:uuidString items:@[[[Sample alloc] initWithIdentifier:uuidString displayString:uuidString]]]];
}
completion([[INObjectCollection alloc] initWithSections:sections], nil);

Yet, when you try to configure the accompanying widget, the options appear in single/unified un-sectioned list. They only appear in sections when searching/filtering.

Thanks for the sample. It is revealing an issue with Beta 3. Please open and attach your sample to a Feedback Assistant ticket, and post the number here.
