item.callback and item.onOpen on IconItem? never gets called.

onOpen is correctly called, but only when the transition is set to "below". Looking at the code, this seems to be by design. The documentation for the onOpen function doesn't explain this, though, because it simply states: "Stub method to allow the application to connect."

callback is indeed never called. Research in the code base history shows that the last version it was used is the following (dating from may 2011): ​https://github.com/dojo/dojox/blob/b1133c6135137f651987253904940a8a8ebb1a52/mobile/_ItemBase.js. In the next version, it disappeared: ​https://github.com/dojo/dojox/blob/f59a79efe5a2d9836260b2df8874306690dca855/mobile/_ItemBase.js

I'll continue to investigate in order to understand what it was meant to be replaced with.

After a few more research and test, here is the current status:

1) callback is only called when transition destination specified with moveTo (see the onStartTransition method of dojox/mobile/ViewController)

2) onOpen is only called for "below" transitions

So they do not never get called.

My understanding of the current problem is that no callback can be defined to be executed after a transition specificed by an URL has been performed. I will look into this.

I've created a pull request for a fix that solves the issue of the callback method not called after a transition when the transtion target is specified using the url property: ​https://github.com/dojo/dojox/pull/71
