Master/Details binding MVVM - mvvm

I have some problem with correct binding my folder with images to master details and other operation with them.
So, I have model of folder and image
public class AppFolder
{
private long id;
private List<AppImage> appImages;
public AppFolder() { }
public List<AppImage> AppImages { get => appImages; set => appImages = value; }
public long Id { get => id; set => id = value; }
}
public class AppImage
{
private int id;
private string title;
private ImageSource appImageURL;
public AppImage() { }
public AppImage(string title, ImageSource imageSource)
{
Title = title;
AppImageURL = imageSource;
}
public int Id { get => id; set => id = value; }
public string Title { get => title; set => title = value; }
public ImageSource AppImageURL { get => appImageURL; set => appImageURL = value; }
}
And I bind List to Master/Details.
public class UserPhotosViewModel : ViewModelBase
{
private readonly IDataService dataService;
private readonly INavigationService navigationService;
public UserPhotosViewModel(IDataService dataService, INavigationService navigationService)
{
this.dataService = dataService;
this.navigationService = navigationService;
Initialize();
}
private async Task Initialize()
{
var item = new List<AppFolder>();
try
{
item = await dataService.GetDataList();
FolderList = item;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
}
}
private List<AppFolder> folderList;
public List<AppFolder> FolderList
{
get { return folderList; }
set
{
folderList = value;
RaisePropertyChanged(nameof(FolderList));
}
}
}
Example xaml file
<controls:MasterDetailsView ItemsSource="{Binding FolderList}">
<controls:MasterDetailsView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Id}"></TextBlock>
</DataTemplate>
</controls:MasterDetailsView.ItemTemplate>
<controls:MasterDetailsView.DetailsTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<controls:AdaptiveGridView ItemsSource="{Binding AppImages}"
OneRowModeEnabled="False"
ItemHeight="205"
DesiredWidth="205"
SelectionMode="Multiple"
Margin="0 6 0 0"
>
<controls:AdaptiveGridView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate >
<Grid Background="White" Margin="10">
<Image
Source="{Binding AppImageURL}"
HorizontalAlignment="Center"
VerticalAlignment="Center"
Stretch="Uniform"
/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding TextTitle}"></TextBlock>
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
</controls:AdaptiveGridView.ItemTemplate>
</controls:AdaptiveGridView>
</DataTemplate>
</controls:MasterDetailsView.DetailsTemplate>
</controls:MasterDetailsView>
So, it's work correct and I saw my folders with images on page
enter image description here
Look nice and I think it all.
But when I want to add event and SelectedItem to AdaptiveGridView from MVVM model, I saw that it doesn't see them. Visual Studio show me that I could to write them in Model "AppFolder" but it's nonsens....
So, my question: How I can add event (binding command/method) to adaptive grid from UserPhotosViewModel?
Thank you for your time.
UPDATE
enter image description here

2) User double click on image and program send folder with this image and other to page and binding them to FlipView (imitation full screen viewer)
I try to add, but that way also offers to write event and property in model. I use this way for settings in navigation panel (parent control for master/details)
You just need to add command property in your AppFolder class like the following:
public class AppFolder:ViewModelBase
{
private long id;
private List<AppImage> appImages;
public AppFolder() { }
public List<AppImage> AppImages { get => appImages; set => appImages = value; }
public long Id { get => id; set => id = value; }
public RelayCommand<object> relayCommand { get; set; }
}
Then, in your UserPhotosViewModel, you could declare a method for initializing this command.
Since I do not know what the dataService.GetDataList() is. I just change this place in your code and make a simple code sample for you.
private void Initialize()
{
var item = new List<AppFolder>();
try
{
List<AppImage> ls = new List<AppImage>();
ls.Add(new AppImage() { Id = 1, Title = "aaa", AppImageURL = new BitmapImage(new Uri("ms-appx:///Assets/1.jpg")) });
ls.Add(new AppImage() { Id = 2, Title = "bbb", AppImageURL = new BitmapImage(new Uri("ms-appx:///Assets/2.jpg")) });
item.Add(new AppFolder() { Id = 1, AppImages = ls,relayCommand=new RelayCommand<object>(DoubleTapCommand) });
FolderList = item;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
}
}
private void DoubleTapCommand(object obj)
{
//the obj will be an AppFolder object
}
<controls:MasterDetailsView.DetailsTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<controls:AdaptiveGridView x:Name="grid" ItemsSource="{Binding AppImages}"
OneRowModeEnabled="False"
ItemHeight="205"
DesiredWidth="205"
SelectionMode="Multiple"
Margin="0 6 0 0">
<Interactivity:Interaction.Behaviors>
<Interactions:EventTriggerBehavior EventName="DoubleTapped">
<Interactions:InvokeCommandAction Command="{Binding relayCommand}" CommandParameter="{Binding}"></Interactions:InvokeCommandAction>
</Interactions:EventTriggerBehavior>
</Interactivity:Interaction.Behaviors>
<controls:AdaptiveGridView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate >
<Grid Background="White" Margin="10">
<Image
Source="{Binding AppImageURL}"
HorizontalAlignment="Center"
VerticalAlignment="Center"
Stretch="Uniform"
/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding TextTitle}"></TextBlock>
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
</controls:AdaptiveGridView.ItemTemplate>
</controls:AdaptiveGridView>
</DataTemplate>
</controls:MasterDetailsView.DetailsTemplate>
1) User select N images and delete them (example)
About this requirement, I suggested that you'd better add a button to bind command for deleting selected items.

Entry IsPassword and IsReadOnly

I want to create a DetailsPage that shows non-editable information where some values are hidden/masked like a password entry with "*****". I would like the user to be able to toggle a button that allows them to see the value. I tried using an Entry control that has a binding to IsPassword with IsReadOnly set to true as follows:
<HorizontalStackLayout>
<Entry Text="{Binding SomeValue}"
IsPassword="{Binding ShowValue}"
IsReadOnly="True"/>
<ImageButton Source="visibility.svg"
Padding="20,0,0,0"
Command="{Binding ToggleValueCommand}"/>
</HorizontalStackLayout>
However, when IsReadOnly is set to true the entry shows the text value even when IsPassword is True
Is this the proper behavior?
If I cannot use an Entry with IsReadOnly="True", then what is the best way to have a Label have this functionality. Should I use a ValueConverter or a Behavior?
As a workaround , you can replace Entry with a Label , change the value while clicking the button each time .
Sample code
Xaml
<HorizontalStackLayout>
<Label Text="{Binding SomeValue}" />
<ImageButton Source="visibility.svg" Padding="20,0,0,0" Command="{Binding ToggleValueCommand}"/>
</HorizontalStackLayout>
code behind
public class ViewModel : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
private void NotifyPropertyChanged([CallerMemberName] String propertyName = "")
{
PropertyChanged?.Invoke(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(propertyName));
}
private bool showValue;
private string someValue;
public string SomeValue
{
get
{
return someValue;
}
set
{
someValue = value;
NotifyPropertyChanged();
}
}
public ICommand ToggleValueCommand { get; set; }
private string copy;
public ViewModel()
{
showValue = true;
SomeValue = "1234";
copy = SomeValue;
ToggleValueCommand = new Command<string>((s) => {
showValue = !showValue;
if (showValue)
{
SomeValue = copy;
}
else
{
SomeValue = "";
for (int i = 0; i < copy.Length; i++)
{
SomeValue += "*";
}
}
});
}
}

After navigating back button command is not responding to click

I am trying to learn .NET Maui by building a simple app like the android Contacts app. I have a main page that has a list of items with a floating button at the bottom to add a new item as shown in the xaml below. When the user clicks on the imagebutton I navigate to a CreatePage that allows the user to enter the values for each field in an Account object. I am using the CommunityToolkit.MVVM library to handle the MVVM stuff.
In MainPageViewModel I navigate to the CreatePage using the "Shell.Current.GoToAsync(route)" in the CreateNewAccount method shown in the MainPageViewModel:
This works fine for the first time I navigate to add a new Account. When I navigate back to the MainPage and try to click the imagebutton again to add another Account the button is non-responsive. I do not see why it is not handling the button click when I navigated back. Any thoughts?
This is part of the XAML in MainPage.xaml
<Grid>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="*" />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<CollectionView Grid.Row="0"
Background="Transparent"
IsGrouped="False"
ItemSizingStrategy="MeasureAllItems"
ItemsLayout="VerticalList"
ItemsSource="{Binding Accounts}"
SelectedItem="{Binding SelectedAccount, Mode=TwoWay}"
SelectionMode="Single">
<CollectionView.EmptyView>
<StackLayout Padding="12">
<Label HorizontalOptions="Center" Text="No Accounts" />
</StackLayout>
</CollectionView.EmptyView>
<CollectionView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate x:DataType="m:Account">
<StackLayout Orientation="Horizontal" Padding="10">
<Label Text="{Binding AccountName}"
FontSize="Large"/>
</StackLayout>
</DataTemplate>
</CollectionView.ItemTemplate>
</CollectionView>
<ImageButton
Grid.Row="0"
Command="{Binding CreateCommand}"
Source="add_box_black_48dp.svg"
Background="Transparent"
HorizontalOptions="End"
VerticalOptions="End"/>
</Grid>
public class MainPageViewModel : ObservableObject
{
private IDataContext _context;
private bool _isBusy;
private Account _selectedAccount;
public ObservableCollection<Account> Accounts { get; private set; }
public AsyncRelayCommand RefreshCommand { get; private set; }
public AsyncRelayCommand CreateCommand { get; private set; }
public bool IsBusy { get=>_isBusy; set => SetProperty(ref _isBusy, value); }
public Account SelectedAccount { get=>_selectedAccount; set => SetProperty(ref _selectedAccount, value); }
public MainPageViewModel(IDataContext context)
{
_context = context;
Accounts = new ObservableCollection<Account>();
RefreshCommand = new AsyncRelayCommand(Refresh);
CreateCommand = new AsyncRelayCommand(CreateNewAccount);
Accounts.Add(new Account { Id = 1, AccountName = "a1", UserName = "a2", Password = "a3" });
}
async Task CreateNewAccount()
{
var route = $"{nameof(CreatePage)}";
await Shell.Current.GoToAsync(route);
}
internal async Task InitializeAsync()
{
await Refresh();
}
async Task Refresh()
{
IsBusy = true;
var accounts = await _context.GetAllAsync();
if (Accounts.Count > 0)
{
Accounts.Clear();
}
foreach (var item in accounts)
{
Accounts.Add(item);
}
IsBusy = false;
}
}
In CreatePageViewModel I create an AsyncRelayCommand as follows and navigate back to the mainpage after the Account is added using "Shell.Current.GoToAsync("..")"
public AsyncRelayCommand SaveCommand { get; private set; }
public CreatePageViewModel(IDataContext dataContext)
{
_dataContext = dataContext;
NewAccount = new Account();
SaveCommand = new AsyncRelayCommand(AddAccount);
}
private async Task AddAccount()
{
var accountFound = await _dataContext.FindByName(NewAccount.AccountName);
if (accountFound is not null)
{
await Application.Current.MainPage.DisplayAlert("Alert", "Account alreaady exists", "OK");
return;
}
await _dataContext.InsertAccountAsync(NewAccount);
await Shell.Current.GoToAsync("..");
}
why you await all events?
async Task CreateNewAccount()
{
var route = $"{nameof(CreatePage)}";
// we won't wait - await Shell.Current.GoToAsync(route);
_ = Shell.Current.GoToAsync(route);
}
and everything will work

Bind ProgressRing to mvvm

I am downloading data from an api, and displaying that data in the view. As I wait I want to display a ProgressRing, but when I bind it dosen't work
Bind the ring to the cityData property, with a two way mode and update it when the property changes
Created a new property in the VM, that is true by default and it will turn false when I get the data back
XAML
<TextBox x:Name="currentLocation"
PlaceholderText="Please wait..."
IsReadOnly="True"
Margin="20"
Width="300"
Text="{Binding cityData, Mode=TwoWay, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}" />
<ListView RelativePanel.Below="currentLocation"
x:Name="ForecastList"
Margin="20"
SelectedItem="{Binding currentDay, Mode=TwoWay, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}"
ItemsSource="{Binding dailyForecasts}">
<ListView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel Margin="10">
<TextBlock x:Name="dateTB" Text="{Binding Date.DayOfWeek}" />
<TextBlock x:Name="highTB" Text="{Binding Temperature.Maximum.Value, Converter={StaticResource cv}}" FontSize="10" />
<TextBlock x:Name="lowTB" FontSize="10" Text="{Binding Temperature.Minimum.Value, Converter={StaticResource cv}}" />
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</ListView.ItemTemplate>
</ListView>
<ProgressRing x:Name="pRing" RelativePanel.Above="ForecastList" RelativePanel.AlignHorizontalCenterWith="currentLocation" IsActive="{Binding ring, Mode=TwoWay}" RelativePanel.Below="currentLocation" />
VM
public class WeatherVM: INotifyPropertyChanged
{
public AccuWeather accuWeather { get; set; }
private string _cityData;
public string cityData
{
get { return _cityData; }
set
{
if (value != _cityData)
{
_cityData = value;
onPropertyChanged("cityData");
GetWeatherData();
}
}
}
private DailyForecast _currentDay;
public DailyForecast currentDay
{
get { return _currentDay; }
set
{
if (value != _currentDay) \
{
_currentDay = value;
onPropertyChanged("currentDay");
}
}
}
public bool ring { get; set; } = true;
public ObservableCollection<DailyForecast> dailyForecasts { get; set; }
public WeatherVM()
{
GetCuurentLocation();
dailyForecasts = new ObservableCollection<DailyForecast>();
}
private async void GetCuurentLocation() {
cityData = await BingLocator.GetCityData();
}
public async void GetWeatherData() {
var geoposition = await LocationManager.GetGeopositionAsync();
var currentLocationKey = await WeatherAPI.GetCityDstaAsync(geoposition.Coordinate.Point.Position.Latitude, geoposition.Coordinate.Point.Position.Longitude);
var weatherData = await WeatherAPI.GetWeatherAsync(currentLocationKey.Key);
if (weatherData != null) {
foreach (var item in weatherData.DailyForecasts) {
dailyForecasts.Add(item);
}
}
currentDay = dailyForecasts[0];
ring = false;
}
public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
private void onPropertyChanged(string property) {
PropertyChanged?.Invoke(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(property));
}
}
}
The progress ring appears when the app launch, and disappear when the data is returned
From your code, it seems to be a layout issue. First you put ListView below currentLocation, then set ProgressRing above ListView and below currentLocation, so the height of ProgressRing wil be zero. I'm not clear about your layout, you can try to only set RelativePanel.Above="ForecastList" for ProgressRing to see if it will appear.
You can use Windows Community Toolkit control for showing progress ring (Busy indicator).
<Page ...
xmlns:controls="using:Microsoft.Toolkit.Uwp.UI.Controls"/>
<controls:Loading x:Name="LoadingControl" IsLoading="{Binding IsBusy}">
<!-- Loading screen content -->
</controls:Loading>

How to change a radio box from true to false using MVVM

So I have a radio button that I want to change from being unchecked to being checked based on if a button is clicked. So
the XAML code I have is:
<RadioButton GroupName="rdoExchange" Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="0" x:Name="PauseRadioButton" Command="{Binding PauseCommand}" IsChecked="{Binding Path=check, Mode=TwoWay}" Margin="3"/>
And the View Model Code:
public string check = "True";
public void Reset(object obj)
{
check = "True";
}
private ICommand m_PauseCommand;
public ICommand PauseCommand
{
get
{
return m_PauseCommand;
}
set
{
m_PauseCommand = value;
}
}
private ICommand m_ResetCommand;
public ICommand ResetCommand
{
get
{
return m_ResetCommand;
}
set
{
m_ResetCommand = value;
}
}
private void SetProperty<T>(ref T field, T value, [CallerMemberName] string name = "")
{
if (!EqualityComparer<T>.Default.Equals(field, value))
{
field = value;
var handler = PropertyChanged;
if (handler != null)
{
handler(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(name));
}
}
}
}
I've left out the relaycommand code and several other parts that I feel would be irrelevant to solving the problem.
Would something like this work?
XAML:
<RadioButton GroupName="rdoExchange" IsChecked="{Binding Path=OptionOneChecked, Mode=TwoWay}"/>
<Button Command="{Binding ToggleOptionOne}" Height="20" />
View Model:
public class ViewModel: NotificationObject
{
private bool _optionOneChecked;
public bool OptionOneChecked
{
get { return _optionOneChecked; }
set
{
if (value.Equals(_optionOneChecked)) return;
_optionOneChecked = value;
RaisePropertyChanged("OptionOneChecked");
}
}
public ICommand ToggleOptionOne
{
get { return new DelegateCommand(() => OptionOneChecked = !OptionOneChecked); }
}
}
using the NotificationObject class from the PRISM NuGet package.

RaisePropertyChanged doesn't work for ObservableCollection

I have a really weird problem with update UI using MVVM Light Toolkit. The RaisePropertyChanged doesn't work at all for my ObservableCollection.
Here is the XAML code:
<ListBox x:Name="list" ItemsSource="{Binding ModelList}" SelectedItem="{Binding SelectedItem, Mode=TwoWay}">
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Name}"></TextBlock>
<CheckBox IsChecked="{Binding IsChecked}"></CheckBox>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<interaction:Interaction.Triggers>
<interaction:EventTrigger EventName="SelectionChanged">
<cmd:EventToCommand Command="{Binding TempCommand}" CommandParameter="{Binding ElementName=list, Path=SelectedItem}"
PassEventArgsToCommand="True"/>
</interaction:EventTrigger>
</interaction:Interaction.Triggers>
</ListBox>
And there is ViewModel code part:
private Model _selectedItem;
public Model SelectedItem
{
get { return _selectedItem; }
set
{
_selectedItem = value;
RaisePropertyChanged("SelectedItem");
}
}
private ObservableCollection<Model> _modelList;
public ObservableCollection<Model> ModelList
{
get { return _modelList; }
set
{
_modelList = value;
RaisePropertyChanged("ModelList");
}
}
public RelayCommand<Model> TempCommand { get; private set; }
/// <summary>
/// Initializes a new instance of the MainViewModel class.
/// </summary>
public MainViewModel()
{
modelList = new ObservableCollection<Model>()
{
new Model()
{
IsChecked = true,
Name = "Temp1"
},
new Model()
{
IsChecked = false,
Name = "Temp2"
},
new Model()
{
IsChecked = false,
Name = "Temp3"
}
};
ModelList = modelList;
TempCommand = new RelayCommand<Model>(Model_SelectedItem);
}
private void Model_SelectedItem(Model item)
{
// What should I do here?
}
When I change the ModelList - there is no reaction from ListBox UI.
Anyone can help me ?
Problem solved.
When you have custom class in ObservableCollection or List it has to derived from ObservableObject and all the Properties have to fire RaisePropertyChanged event.
