I am using Xamarin Android with Reactive UI and Not using Xamarin Forms. I have a Custom ListView(I have defined it's layout as xaml). I have no idea how to bind this control into a observableCollection in ViewModel using OneWayBind method in the activity class.
I wrote it as,
this.OneWayBind(ViewModel, x => x.OutletListing, x => x.List).DisposeWith(SubscriptionDisposables);
But gives,
System.ArgumentException: Can't convert System.Collections.ObjectModel.ObservableCollection1 to Android.Widget.ListView. To fix this, register a IBindingTypeConverter
I saw in tutorials Xamarin Forms has used ItemSource property for this.
Could anyone please give a solution for this . thanks in advance.
Update I have no idea how to go ahead with the given answer. I want to figure this out more.
here is my ViewModel class.

this.LoadStockItems = ReactiveCommand.CreateFromTask<FilterParams, List<StockItemListingResult>>(

var r = await GetStockItemListing(filter);
return r;
},
Observable.Return(true))
.DisposeWith(ViewModelBindings.Value);

And My Activity Class is as follows
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using Android.App;
using Android.Content;
using Android.OS;
using Android.Runtime;
using Android.Views;

using Android.Support.V4.Widget;
using Android.Support.Design.Widget;
using DistributrIII.Mobile.Droid.ViewModels;
using DistributrIII.Mobile.Droid.Util;
using System.Reactive.Disposables;
using DistributrIII.Mobile.Droid.Models;
using Android.Support.V7.Widget;
using Android.Support.V7.App;
using Splat;
using Android.Support.V4.View;
using System.Reactive.Linq;
namespace DistributrIII.Mobile.Droid.Views.StockTake
{
[Activity(Label = "StockTakeActivity", MainLauncher = true, Theme = "@style/MainTheme")]
public class StockTakeActivity : DistributrBaseActivity<StockTakeVM>
{
private Android.Support.V7.Widget.SearchView _searchView;
public ListView List { get; private set; }
ReactiveList<StockItemListingResult> StockListItems;
StockTakeScreenAdapter osadapter;
List<StockItemModel> items = new List<StockItemModel>();
public StockTakeActivity()
{
this.ViewModel = new StockTakeVM();
this.StockListItems = new ReactiveList<StockItemListingResult>();
}
protected override void OnCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
base.OnCreate(savedInstanceState);
SetContentView(Resource.Layout.Activity_StockTake);
this.Bind(ViewModel, x => x.StockItemListing, x => x.StockListItems);
//checking whether change happens
// StockListItems.ItemChanged
// .Where(x => x.PropertyName == "StockItemAmt" && x.Sender.StockItemAmt)
// .Select(x => x.Sender)
// .Subscribe(x => {
// Console.WriteLine("Make sure to save {0}!", x.DocumentName);
//});
this.WhenAnyValue(view => view.ViewModel.StockItemListing)
.Where(listing => listing != null)
.Select(listing => new DistributrIII.Mobile.Droid.Util.ReactiveListAdapter<StockTakeVM>(listing, Resource.Layout.Activity_StockTake))
.BindTo(this, view => view.List.Adapter);
this.ViewModel.LoadStockItems.Execute(new FilterParams
{
NameFilter = "",
Status = "All"
}).Subscribe();
//List = FindViewById<ListView>(Resource.Id.List);
SetupReactiveLists(this);
var toolbarST = FindViewById<Android.Support.V7.Widget.Toolbar>(Resource.Id.toolbarST);
toolbarST.InflateMenu(Resource.Menu.StockTakeSearch);
toolbarST.Title = "Stock Take";
}
public void SetupReactiveLists(Activity context)
{
List = FindViewById<ListView>(Resource.Id.List);
foreach (var item in StockListItems)
{
StockItemModel stockitem = new StockItemModel
{
StockItemName = item.StockItemName,
StockItemCode = item.StockItemCode
};
items.Add(stockitem);
}
osadapter = new StockTakeScreenAdapter(this, items);
List.Adapter = osadapter;
List.ItemClick += OnListItemClick;
}
}
here is my Listadapter class.
public class StockTakeScreenAdapter : BaseAdapter<StockItemModel>
{
List<StockItemModel> items;
Activity context;
public StockTakeScreenAdapter(Activity context, List<StockItemModel> items) : base()
{
this.context = context;
this.items = items;
}
public override long GetItemId(int position)
{
return position;
}
public override StockItemModel this[int position]
{
get { return items[position]; }
}
public override int Count
{
get { return items.Count; }
}
public override View GetView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent)
{
var item = items[position];
View view = convertView;
if (view == null)
view = context.LayoutInflater.Inflate(Resource.Layout.ViewCell_StockTake, null);
view.FindViewById<TextView>(Resource.Id.stockitem_name).Text = item.StockItemName;
view.FindViewById<TextView>(Resource.Id.stockitem_code).Text = item.StockItemCode;
view.FindViewById<TextView>(Resource.Id.stockitem_amt).Text = item.StockItemAmt;
return view;
} }
Here are my questions
- Should I want to create another reactive List in the Activity Class in order to bind.
- If I changed the value of a list item , does it update the list (I expect to update the value of a list item using another fragment class.)
I am new to android development with RX. Pardon me if I mess up the things. Thanks again.
You would use an adapter to accomplish this on Android, just like you would without Reactive Extensions.
In case you want to use a ListView with RxUI, you'd use a ReactiveListAdapter. Unfortunately this isn't really documented yet, so you might want to take a look at the source code: https://github.com/reactiveui/ReactiveUI/blob/develop/src/ReactiveUI/Platforms/android/ReactiveListAdapter.cs
The gist is you create an instance with the ReactiveList supplying the data. The adapter then watches for changes in this list to know when it needs to be updated.
Example:
this.WhenAnyValue (view => view.ViewModel.OutletListing)
.Where (listing => listing != null)
.Select (listing => new ReactiveListAdapter (listing, MyViewCreator))
.BindTo (this, view => view.List.Adapter);
MyViewCreator is a delegate which accepts the initial ViewModel from your list and the parent ViewGroup so you can inflate the row with initial data and return the resulting View.
