With Native Mobile, is “algolia search” not working yet?
In the Native Mobile editor I’m able to setup a vertical list’s data source as Algolia. However it returns no results in both web preview and bubble go.
I’m guessing it’s not a feature that’s turned on yet. I’m hoping bubble adds this. This is a critical feature for so many native apps.
Here’s my setup which is not working on Native Mobile.
Here’s my setup on Web which works perfectly.
I saw your post in another thread–
It looks like you’re using Algolia in mobile but it’s not working.
I saw somewhere else that the web plugins won’t work in the native environment.
Did you set up your own API calls for native here in the example you shared?
I ask because I am mid-way implementing Algolia in our currently-wrapped App. I’m hitting some stumbling blocks because of the limit of 20 fields with the ZQ plugin, which is a real problem because our business listings have a lot more fields. (we’re a directory so it’s a lot of data)
All this has me wondering-- is what I’m doing now better done with API calls, to get around the 20-field limit, but also so that when I swap to the new Native, they won’t need rebuilding entirely?
(I am getting a persistent white screen problem in my BDK-wrapped android app specifically, which is my main motivator for wanting to go native with Bubble.)
Prob thinking about this wrong, feel free to help clear the deck for me. Thank you!
I did setup the algolia API in native mobile. It’s very slow compared to algolia JS SDK since it needs to send API call and wait for response. It takes about 2 full seconds to get results from search and it’s only after you press enter - not as you type
Super helpful, thank you!
