FlowListView not fully updating UI when changing ObservableCollection<T> - mvvm

When I remove objects from the list the UI doesn't reflect the current state of the list, normally failling by only one item.
Example: If I remove 4 items, on the UI only shows that I removed 3 items
private ObservableCollection<Card> _cards;
public ObservableCollection<Card> Cards
{
get
{
if (_cards == null)
{
_cards = new ObservableCollection<Card>();
return _cards;
}
return _cards;
}
set
{
SetValue(ref _cards, value);
}
}
My remove method
private void RemoveFromCards(Card card)
{
for (int i = Cards.Count - 1; i >= 0; i--)
{
if (Cards[i].Id == card.Id)
{
Cards.RemoveAt(i);
/* I tried this but doesn't work also
*
*
ObservableCollection<Card> copy = Cards;
copy.RemoveAt(i);
Cards = copy;
*/
}
}
}
Calling remove method
private void RemoveCardsFromView(List<Archive> cards)
{
foreach (Archive a in cards)
{
Card c = new Card {Id = a.CardId};
RemoveFromCards(c);
}
}
Calling code
public async Task RefreshCardsView()
{
if (!CrossConnectivity.Current.IsConnected)
{
BuildToast(false,"No internet connection");
return;
}
try
{
JsonResult cards = (JsonResult) await HttpMiddleman.GetCards();
RemoveCardsFromView(cards.Data.DeletedCards);
AddCardsToView(cards.Data.AddedCards);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Debug.WriteLine(e.Message);
BuildToast(false,"Could not refresh");
}
}
My binding in FlowListView
<controls:FlowListView x:Name="Board" HasUnevenRows="True"
BackgroundColor="Black"
FlowColumnCount="2"
FlowItemTappedCommand="{Binding ExecuteActionCommand}"
FlowColumnMinWidth="110"
IsPullToRefreshEnabled="True"
IsRefreshing="{Binding IsRefreshing}"
RefreshCommand="{Binding RefreshViewCommand}"
FlowItemsSource="{Binding Cards}"> .....
Thanks in advance guys

make sure that you fire correctly OnPropertyChanged after SetValue() in property statement
and
try with this class (from xamarin) and pass ienumerable of card instead card only object.
Example
private void RemoveFromCards(Card card)
{
Cards.RemoveRange(new []{card});
}
//or directly from
private void RemoveCardsFromView(List<Archive> cards)
{
Cards.RemoveRange(cards.Select(s=> new Card {Id = a.CardId}));

Showing ScriptableObjects in multi selection dropdown menu in Unity

How should I create PropertyAttribute and PropertyDrawer to show ScriptableObjects in dropdown menu in Inspector for multi selecting ?
I've published a repository on Github which solve this problem. It is for multi selecting in dropdown menu in Inspector.
In Github links you have access to example folder and unitypackage in release page but if you don't want to go to the links or any problem happens to the links, you can follow this instruction:
ScriptableObjectMultiSelectDropdown:
ScriptableObjectMultiSelectDropdown is an attribute for the Unity Inspector.
It is used for showing ScriptableObjects which are created in your project, in dropdown menu and select multiple of them in Inspector.

Usage Example:
Create ScriptableObject class which you want to create specified objects by that.
using UnityEngine;
[CreateAssetMenu(menuName = "Create Block")]
public class Block : ScriptableObject
{
// Some fields
}
Create ScriptableObjects in the project.
Use ScriptableObjectMultiSelectDropdown attribute by setting type of specified ScriptableObject derived class and optional grouping (Default grouping is None) like this in MonoBeahviour or ScriptableObject derived classes.
MonoBehavior:
using ScriptableObjectMultiSelectDropdown;
using UnityEngine;
public class BlockManager : MonoBehaviour
{
// Without grouping (default is None)
[ScriptableObjectMultiSelectDropdown(typeof(Block))]
public ScriptableObjectReference firstTargetBlocks;
// By grouping
[ScriptableObjectMultiSelectDropdown(typeof(Block), grouping = ScriptableObjectGrouping.ByFolder)]
public ScriptableObjectReference secondTargetBlocks;
}
ScriptableObject:
using UnityEngine;
using ScriptableObjectMultiSelectDropdown;
[CreateAssetMenu(menuName = "Create Block Manager Settings")]
public class BlockManagerSettings : ScriptableObject
{
// Without grouping (default is None)
[ScriptableObjectMultiSelectDropdown(typeof(Block))]
public ScriptableObjectReference firstTargetBlocks;
// By grouping
[ScriptableObjectMultiSelectDropdown(typeof(Block), grouping = ScriptableObjectGrouping.ByFolderFlat)]
public ScriptableObjectReference secondTargetBlocks;

How do I get the old values of an entity?

How do I get the old values of an entity?
follows the example..
public void Update(User user)
ValidateEntity(user, OperationType.Update);
oldUser = (how do I get the old values ​​(database) of the entity User?)
Set.Attach(user);
Context.ObjectStateManager.ChangeObjectState(user, EntityState.Modified);
Context.SaveChanges();
OnUpdated(user, oldUser);
}
Try this:
public void Update(User user)
ValidateEntity(user, OperationType.Update);
var oldUser = Set.Single(u => u.Id == user.Id);
Context.Detach(oldUser);
Set.Attach(user);
Context.ObjectStateManager.ChangeObjectState(user, EntityState.Modified);
Context.SaveChanges();
OnUpdated(user, oldUser);
}
Or this:
public void Update(User user)
{
ValidateEntity(user, OperationType.Update);
var oldUser = Set.Single(u => u.Id == user.Id);
Set.ApplyCurrentValues(user);
Context.SaveChanges(SaveOptions.DetectChangesBeforeSave);
OnUpdated(user, Context.ObjectStateManager.GetOjectStateEntry(user).OriginalValues);
Context.AcceptAllChanges();
}

Ado.net entity .include() method not working

I've got this function
public static AdoEntity.Inspector GetInspectorWithInclude(int id, List<string> properties)
{
using (var context = new Inspection09Entities())
{
var query = context.Inspector;
if (properties != null)
{
foreach (var prop in properties)
{
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(prop))
query.Include(prop);
}
}
return query.Where(i => i.ID == id).First();
}
}
which i use to get my "Inspectors" from the DB and an additional feature to specify what to "Include" with the data. So it takes a List<'string'> and includes them with the query. This function doesn't seem to work because the returned object still does not include the requested data. Could someone tell me what is wrong with this method/approach.
Thanks in advance.
Solution
Thank you to Misha N. suggestion, I have hatched this EF helper which extends the ObjectQuery class. Hopefully others may find it useful.
/// <summary>
/// The include extesion that takes a list and returns a object query with the included data.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="objectQuery">
/// The object query.
/// </param>
/// <param name="includes">
/// The list of strings to include.
/// </param>
/// <typeparam name="T">
/// </typeparam>
/// <returns>
/// An object query of T type with the included data.
/// </returns>
public static ObjectQuery<T> Include<T>(this ObjectQuery<T> objectQuery, List<string> includes)
{
ObjectQuery<T> query = objectQuery;
if (includes != null) includes.ForEach(s => { if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(s)) query = query.Include(s); });
return query;
}
Usage example.
using(var context = new MyEntity())
{
var includes = new List<string>
{
"Address",
"Orders",
"Invoices"
}
return context.CustomerSet.Include(includes).First(c => c.ID == customerID);
}
Nothing is wrong with your approach, just one little thing need to be changed:
public static AdoEntity.Inspector GetInspectorWithInclude(int id, List<string> properties)
{
using (var context = new Inspection09Entities())
{
var query = context.Inspector;
if (properties != null)
{
foreach (var prop in properties)
{
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(prop))
query = query.Include(prop);// <--- HERE
}
}
return query.Where(i => i.ID == id).First();
}
}
ObjectQuery.Include() method is returning altered ObjectQuery object, you haven't been doing changes to the inital query.
Hope this helps

Menu service in Prism application CAL

I am trying to create a Prism (CAL) framework (this is my first forray into CAL) and am having difficulty devising a service for registering menu items for a region). Here is what I have come up with so far...
/// <summary>
/// Menu item service - allows any module to register menu items with any region
/// </summary>
public class MenuService : IMenuService
{
private IUnityContainer m_UnityContainer;
private IRegionManager m_RegionManager;
private Dictionary<string, IUnityContainer> m_MenuContainers = new Dictionary<string,IUnityContainer>();
/// <summary>
/// Injection ctor
/// </summary>
/// <param name="unityContainer"></param>
/// <param name="regionManager"></param>
public MenuService(IUnityContainer unityContainer, IRegionManager regionManager)
{
m_UnityContainer = unityContainer;
m_RegionManager = regionManager;
}
/// <summary>
/// Registers a menu item with the service
/// </summary>
/// <param name="topLevelName"></param>
/// <param name="regionIdentity"></param>
/// <param name="displayText"></param>
public void RegisterMenuItem(string topLevelName, string regionIdentity, string displayText)
{
IUnityContainer container = GetOrCreateUiIdentityContainer(regionIdentity);
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(topLevelName))
container.RegisterInstance("MENUITEM" + displayText, new MenuItem { Header = displayText} );
else
{
MenuItem topLevel = container.Resolve<MenuItem>("MENUITEM" + topLevelName);
if (topLevel.Header == null)
{
topLevel = new MenuItem{ Header = topLevelName};
container.RegisterInstance<MenuItem>("MENUITEM" + topLevelName, topLevel);
}
MenuItem newItem = new MenuItem{Header = displayText};
topLevel.Items.Add(newItem);
container.RegisterInstance("MENUITEM" + topLevelName + "_" + displayText, newItem);
}
}
private IUnityContainer GetOrCreateUiIdentityContainer(string regionIdentity)
{
IUnityContainer container;
container = GetUnityContainer(regionIdentity);
if (container != null)
return container;
container = m_UnityContainer.CreateChildContainer();
m_MenuContainers.Add(regionIdentity, container);
return container;
}
private IUnityContainer GetUnityContainer(string regionIdentity)
{
IUnityContainer container;
m_MenuContainers.TryGetValue(regionIdentity, out container);
return container;
}
/// <summary>
/// Builds up the menu for a given region
/// </summary>
/// <param name="regionIdentity"></param>
public void BuildMenu(string regionIdentity)
{
IUnityContainer container;
container = GetUnityContainer(regionIdentity);
if (container == null)
return;
IRegion region = m_RegionManager.Regions[regionIdentity];
if (region == null)
return;
IEnumerable<MenuItem> menuItems = container.ResolveAll<MenuItem>();
foreach (MenuItem item in menuItems)
{
if (item.Role == MenuItemRole.SubmenuHeader )
region.Add(item);
}
}
}
Is there a better way to do what I am trying to do?
Cheers,
Jason
I've got a sample you can take a look at that does exactly this. Hopefully this will help you out a bit. If you have any specific questions after looking at it, let me know!
