Migrating to FormsApplicationActivity causing exceptions in NavigationRenderer

问题

In my app I replaced AndroidActivity with FormsAppCompatActivity.

Now in a custom renderer extending NavigationRenderer, I get an exception that's traced to method Xamarin.Forms.Platform.Android.NavigationRenderer.SwitchContentAsync:

[MonoDroid] UNHANDLED EXCEPTION:
[MonoDroid] System.InvalidCastException: Cannot cast from source type to destination type.
[MonoDroid] at Xamarin.Forms.Platform.Android.NavigationRenderer.SwitchContentAsync (Xamarin.Forms.Page,bool,bool) <IL 0x000bd, 0x003fe>

I cannot step into it since I don't have the source for Xamarin.Forms. The decompilation of that method is here

Any ideas?

回答1:

This is because AppCompat introduces a new NavigationRenderer, so I should be subclassing that instead of the one in Xamarin.Forms.Platform.Android.

So, the solution is to do:

public class PageFancyRenderer : Xamarin.Forms.Platform.Android.AppCompat.NavigationPageRenderer

instead of:

public class PageFancyRenderer : Xamarin.Forms.Platform.Android.NavigationPageRenderer

Why this error was happening:

Inside NavigationPageRenderer.SwitchContentAsync there is this line:

          ((Platform) this.Element.Platform).NavAnimationInProgress = false;

Which is doing a cast to Android.Platform class since I was subclassing Android.NavigationRenderer

The correct renderer Android.AppCompat.NavigationRenderer would be casting to the correct platform of the element (when using AppCompatActivity) which is Android.AppCompat.Platform

If Xamarin.Forms was open-souce, this would have been easier to catch because I would be able to actually debug the code, but instead, I had to look at the IL disassembly to find the line that was causing the error.

Please open-source Xamarin.Forms for the sake of the community
