autoBind Boolean(default: true)

Indicates whether the listview will call read on the DataSource initially. If set to false, the listview will be bound after the DataSource instance fetch method is called.

    <div data-role="view">
      Fetch Data
      <ul data-role="listview" data-source="foo" data-auto-bind="false" data-template="foo-template">
      </ul>
    </div>


    <script type="text/x-kendo-template" id="foo-template">
        #: data #
    </script>

    <script>
    var foo = new kendo.data.DataSource({
      data: [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
    });

    function fetchData() {
      foo.fetch();
    }

    new kendo.mobile.Application();
    </script>
