Answer 1

this is a common architectural problem, you should separate out the function of creating the table and loading the table's data.

you create the table once when the window is created, and you load the data in the table multiple times. Pseudo code below should give you the basic idea.

var win = Ti.Ui.currentWindow;
(function(){
   var table;

   // create the table
   function initializeWindow() {
   }

   // load the data, and update table
   function loadWindowData() {
   }

   initializeWindow();
   loadWindowData();

   // called whenever you want to update window data.
   Ti.App.addEventListener('app:refreshTable',loadWindowData);
)();

TableView -

table.setData([]); // First Clear

table.setData(tableData); // Updated Content

ListView -

listView.sections[0].setItems([]);//First Clear

listView.sections[0].setItems(tableData); // Updated Content

For Updating Content inside Window you can use "open" listener.

win.addEventListener("open",loadData);
