When you're using cobra (http://bitbucket.org/jmtulloss/cobra/overview/),
you don't need to bind. Without it, "self" has no meaning and you should
just use "this" with bind.

thanks for the example.

i'm having some problems with it.

onSuccess: function(list) {
Mojo.Log.info("Got account list: %j", list);
if (list.list && list.list.length > 0) {
self.account = list.list[0];
k();
}

the self.account in the calling scope is not updated, only the self.account of the onSuccess is being updated thus i cannot get back the params.

any ideas? i've noticed the .bind(this) command but i was unable to utilize it.

Thanks,

Avner.

This is really useful. One of the hardest things to get used to about WebOS is the fact that everything is an async operation. Your examples are great because they demonstrate how to deal with this gracefully. I dig those idioms, man.

I asked in the forums and I was told that it is slated for a future release.

I am trying to write an application that manages some profiles (settings for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 3G, Ring Settings, Airplane Mode) based on location and time variables. The iphone doesn't allow you to do this yet. So was hoping Palm to see it in the Palm at least

Thanks for the quick reply and sorry if you felt I was just trolling your post!

There probably is not a public API for turning off wifi, but you should ask on the forums.

What are you trying to do with it?
