Core no work equal in Android and iPhone

cristobal@sbsoftware.es — Wed, 06 May 2015 08:51:46 GMT

I've developed my first app in Android using Crosslight.

One of the activities of my app is a "DrawerViewModelBase". It has a "ListViewModelBase" in the center, and a "EditorViewModelBase" in the right side. The "EditorViewModelBase" is a Form.

		public ValesDrawerViewModel()		{			this.CenterViewModel = new ValeListViewModel();
			this.RightViewModel = new FiltroEditorViewModel();
		}

Right side is a filter that, when it is closed, updates the items of the center. To control this event, in Close method of "DrawerViewModelBase", I get new items in the CenterViewModel.

		public override void Close()
		{
			if (this.OpenedDrawer == DrawerSide.Right)
			{
				GetValesAsync();
			}
			base.Close();
		}
		protected virtual async void GetValesAsync()
		{
			...
			((ValeListViewModel)this.CenterViewModel).Items = selectResult;
			...
		}

In Android is OK, but in iPhone, when I Close the right side, it doesn't enter in Close method and it doesn't update items.

How can I solve this problem?

How can I send data between CenterViewModel and RightViewModel?

How to use navigation when an UICarouselView item is selected

hongliyu2002 — Wed, 31 Dec 2014 07:40:41 GMT

Can you please tell me how to use navigation when an UICarouselView cell item is selected. I found this component supports DetailNavigationTarget property, but I don't know how to use it.

On the other hand, the OnSelectItemChanged method in the ListViewModelBase also cannot be used, because when the EnableSlideShow is set to on, the SelectedIndex will be changed every 3 seconds. Everytime it will trigger the OnSelectItemChanged method, I cannot write NavigationService code in this section.

Dear valued customers,

We recently added a new tutorial video about understanding screen navigation in Crosslight. Navigation is a very complex subject in mobile apps development and it requires deep understanding to learn how to implement simple navigation in individual platform such as Android. Our development team has successfully combined all those difficult works into a single API, so that you only need to focus on business processes, user experience and visual aspects of your app.

Read the full blogpost to learn and watch the video tutoial on how navigation works in Crosslight.

UXListBox navigation

TerryH — Tue, 09 Nov 2010 01:16:53 GMT

I'm currently evaluating the ClientUI suite and have a question about UXListBox, in the example ClientUI_Business_Application on the Customers page there is a UXListBox with a datatemplate that has a UXNavigationButton, when a user clicks on the button the details are displayed to the right of the listbox. I would like to do something similar, I would like to populate the list with two colums of data, when the user clicks on one of the listbox items, the details would be displayed, I don't want to use a UXNavigationButton. How can I get this done ?

I'm thinking that the listbox SelectionChanged event might be one way but I don't know how to get the same functionalty that UXNavigationButton provides with in the event.

silverlight navigation documentation

I have read your Client UI Parts 1 to 7 - very good they are as an overview. Where can I get more in depth documentation/tutorials covering the topics covererd by these articles.

For instance datasources for grid, formatting grids etc

Navigation and so on.

Also the showcase examples (which cover most/all of your Silverlight control) - where is the source code for these examples as this would be a good start - I know you have some template/example applications but these do not cover grids for instance.

I currently use DevExpress and all the above is easily and readily available.

Thanks

Richard

Hi guys,

Sorry that disturbing you (I know what it means to have a delivery in few weeks :) but I need your help.

I'm doing a demo for management and if it'll be done isuccessfully then we'll be you happy customers (and I'll be your happy developer, as I really like your controls suite). The key byuing feature is navigation. We have a 3 levels of navigation.

->Module

-> -> Section

-> -> -> Section Item

I can't figure out from sample app how to implement it. It uses some hakish query string stuff and I dont get how to proceed to innermost frame.

As I understand this can (and should be easily) achieved solely with XAML configuration (UriMapping). So basically nested page should be ableto pick up what parent page has passed and pass it further until last nested frame finish it.

So I have 3 pages and each contains a frame:

1. Main page - main frame loads module pages

2. Module page - module frame load section pages

3. Section page - section page load section item pages

Paths are:

/Module

/Module/Section

/Module/Section/Item

Please send sample on my email or just attach here.

MANY thanks!
