Filters in sencha touch

[emm]

Hey guys,
I am trying to user filters and was wondering if you encountered any issue like I did. Or I must be doing something wrong!
I have a view with a list linked to a store where I want to display only records where attribute can_communicate_to_current_user is set to false.
I tried different ways of doing this.

1/ Applying the filter to the store:

Ext.regStore('Bomb', {
    model: 'User',
	autoLoad: false,
	proxy: {
		type: 'ajax',
		url: APP_DOMAIN_URL + '/users',
		actionMethods: {
			read: 'GET'
		},
		extraParams: {
			within: 50
		},
		reader: {
			type: 'json',
			totalProperty: 'total',
			root: 'data'
		}
	},
	filters: [
	        {
	            property : 'can_communicate_to_current_user',
	            value: false
	        }
	    ],
});

That returns a 500 error from the server as it doesn't like that we added parameters to the request:

_dc:1311216601992
within:5
limit:25
filter:[{"property":"can_communicate_to_current_user","value":"false"}]

Normaler this filer parameter is not sent.

I tried with specifying a filter function, like this:

filters: [
	       function (o,k){
				return (o.data.relationship_status.accepted == false) ;
			}
	    ]

but I get the same error from server.
Then I was stuck so I tried to filter in the view

2/Filter in the list

items: [{
				xtype: 'list',			
				store: 'Bomb',
				filters: [
				        {
				            property : 'can_communicate_to_current_user',
				            value: false
				        }
				    ],
                                    ....

But the list is not filtered at all!
I tried with a filter function as well but that didn't work neither.
Then I tried something ugly...

3/ The only thing that seems to work is by doing this:

			items: [{
				xtype: 'list',			
				store: 'Bomb',
				prepareData: function(data){
					return (data.can_communicate_to_current_user == false)? data:undefined;
				},
                                ....

But that leaves blank items in the list, which is not really nice to see for the end user...

Any hint on what I did wrong with filters?
Thank you guys!

1/ Try to set
filterParam:null
on your Proxy

If it does not work, check that store.filterOnLoad==true and store.remoteFilter == false

2/ Anyway and according to the documentation, there is not "filter" property on Ext.List

You can filter store after loaded event :
store.filter("prop","value") or store.filterBy(function)

That fixed the issue!
Thank you Master of Filters

Filtering is definitely not my cup of tea...
I was spending my time in debugging it with sencha-touch-debug when you created this thread.
I would not have been able to give you the same response today
I've overshadowed it
Store configuration properties conflicts drive me crazy...
