destroy

Prepares the ListView for safe removal from DOM. Detaches all event handlers and removes jQuery.data attributes to avoid memory leaks. Calls destroy method of any child Kendo widgets.

Important: This method does not remove the ListView element from DOM.

    <div data-role="view">
       Destroy


      <ul id="listView" data-role="listview" data-style="inset">
        <li>Foo</li>
        <li>Bar</li>
      </ul>
    </div>

    <script>
    function destroyListView() {
        var listView = $("#listView").data("kendoMobileListView");
        // detach events
        listView.destroy();
    }

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