How to set Command from Content View Template - xamarin

I have a content page with CarouselViewControl. I am using template to display my picture and information. Now I am setting up a Command in my Template ContentView on the picture. However the event doesn't trigger. Do you see what I am doing wrong?
ContentPage:
<local:ExtendedCarouselViewControl
x:Name="lastThreeArticlesCarouselView"
Grid.Row="1"
Margin="0"
CurrentPageIndicatorTintColor="{DynamicResource BaseTextColor}"
HeightRequest="330"
IndicatorsTintColor="{DynamicResource TranslucidBlack}"
ItemsSource="{Binding LastThreeArticles, Mode=TwoWay}"
ShowIndicators="True"
VerticalOptions="Start">
<cv:CarouselViewControl.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<local:AvatArticlesBrowserHeaderItemTemplate />
</DataTemplate>
</cv:CarouselViewControl.ItemTemplate>
</local:ExtendedCarouselViewControl>
...
public ArticleBrowser()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
protected override void OnAppearing()
{
base.OnAppearing();
var context = new MyArticlesBrowserViewModel(Navigation);
Task.Run(async () => await context.LoadDataForBestSellers()).Wait();
lastThreeArticlesCarouselView.ItemsSource = null;
lastThreeArticlesCarouselView.ItemsSource = context.LastThreeArticles;
}
Template:
<ffimageloading:CachedImage
Aspect="AspectFill"
Source="{Binding BackgroundImage, Mode=TwoWay}"
VerticalOptions="Fill">
<ffimageloading:CachedImage.GestureRecognizers>
<TapGestureRecognizer Command="{Binding PlayButtonCommand}" />
</ffimageloading:CachedImage.GestureRecognizers>
</ffimageloading:CachedImage>
...
public Articles()
{
InitializeComponent();
BindingContext = new MyArticlesBrowserViewModel();
}
My Command:
public MyArticlesBrowserViewModel(INavigation navigation) : base()
{
PlayButtonCommand = new Command(async () => navigation.PushAsync(new Loader(Pages.Listening)));
}
UPDATE
<ffimageloading:CachedImage
Aspect="AspectFill"
Source="{Binding BackgroundImage, Mode=TwoWay}"
VerticalOptions="Fill">
<ffimageloading:CachedImage.GestureRecognizers>
<TapGestureRecognizer Command="{Binding BindingContext.PlayButtonCommand, Source={x:Reference Name=lastThreeArticlesCarouselView}}" />
</ffimageloading:CachedImage.GestureRecognizers>
</ffimageloading:CachedImage>
I have tried this but still the event doesnt get called

The BindingContext of your Template in this case is the DataSource of the CarouselView and not the ViewModel, you can reference it by indicating another BindingContext of an parent control like this:
{Binding BindingContext.PlayButtonCommand, Source={x:Reference Name=lastThreeArticlesCarouselView}}

Xamarin reuse viewmodel on user control

In my MainPage.xaml, which is a ContentPage, I have two user controls.
Both of which are ContentView and are loaded like this:
<local:MyView2 HorizontalOptions="Start"
VerticalOptions="Fill">
<local:MyView2.BindingContext>
<viewmodels:NavbarViewModel />
</local:MyView2.BindingContext>
<local:MyView2.Triggers>
<DataTrigger TargetType="{x:Type local:MyView2}" Binding="{Binding IsPresented}" Value="True">
<DataTrigger.EnterActions>
<local:MenuTrigger IsPresented="True"/>
</DataTrigger.EnterActions>
<DataTrigger.ExitActions>
<local:MenuTrigger IsPresented="False" />
</DataTrigger.ExitActions>
</DataTrigger>
</local:MyView2.Triggers>
</local:MyView2>
// omitted myview1, they are basically the same
My MainPage has a different viewmodel than MyView1 and 2 which are the contentviews.
But the bindingcontext I have said is not accessible from inside the contentview:
<ContentView xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
x:Class="Universal_ONE.MyView1"
x:Name="MyView1Name">
<Frame BackgroundColor="#385C6C"
Padding="0,0,0,0">
<ImageButton Source="outline_menu_white_24.png"
Command="{Binding Source={x:Reference MyView1Name}, Path=PresentMenu}}"
WidthRequest="24"
HeightRequest="24"
Margin="15,0,0,0"
BackgroundColor="Transparent"
HorizontalOptions="StartAndExpand" />
</Frame>
</ContentView>
I also tried it like this:
<ContentView xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
x:Class="Universal_ONE.MyView1">
<Frame BackgroundColor="#385C6C"
Padding="0,0,0,0">
<ImageButton Source="outline_menu_white_24.png"
Command="{Binding PresentMenu}"
WidthRequest="24"
HeightRequest="24"
Margin="15,0,0,0"
BackgroundColor="Transparent"
HorizontalOptions="StartAndExpand" />
</Frame>
</ContentView>
The error I get on the PresentMenu: No DataContext found for binding PresentMenu
How do I access the bindingcontext inside my contentview?
If it was not clear already, the contentviews are in a seperate file.
EDIT:
NavbarViewModel:
public class NavbarViewModel : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
public NavbarViewModel()
{
isPresented = false;
PresentMenu = new Command(() => IsPresented = !IsPresented);
}
bool isPresented;
public bool IsPresented
{
get => isPresented;
set
{
isPresented = value;
PropertyChanged?.Invoke(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(nameof(IsPresented)));
}
}
public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
public ICommand PresentMenu { private set; get; }
}
EDIT 2:
I have added:
x:DataType="viewmodels:NavbarViewModel
To both contentviews, this removes the error that it has no DataContext. However, the binding still does not work.
Working solution:
I have now added the viewmodel as a staticresource in app.xaml and just reuse that everywhere including in the user controls. I hope to look at this again at some point in the future.

LoadElements Command not fired. Loading starting menu , showing menu elements just command not working to navigate to another page. Using Xamarin.Forms.Command. On other pages working normal with Command
You could reset the binding path of the tap . So that you can handle the logic in the same command .
in the ContentPage (which contains the CollectionView)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<ContentPage xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
xmlns:d="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms/design"
xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
mc:Ignorable="d"
x:Name="Page" //set the name of page
x:Class="xxx.xxxPage">
<TapGestureRecognizer Command="{Binding Source={x:Reference Page},Path=BindingContext.LoadElements}"
you need to call the command on the ViewModel of the Page for that you need to do this:-
<Image.GestureRecognizers>
<TapGestureRecognizer Command="{Binding LoadElements, Source={x:Reference Name=ThisPage}}" />
</Image.GestureRecognizers>
And put x:Name="ThisPage" in the ContentPage tag of the xaml at the top of the page.
Let me know if you face difficulties.

I have a menu made of Frames with Images and Texts. Also using Xamarin.Forms.Command. I need based on the image clicked to call a command and navigate to chosen Page
You could use MessagingCenter to send message from ViewModel to ContentPage .
in command
MessagingCenter.Send<Object>(this, "openNewPage");
in the ContentPage(which contains the CollectionView)
in the constructor
public xxxPage
{
InitializeComponent();
MessagingCenter.Subscribe<Object> (this, "openNewPage", async (sender) =>
{
await Navigation.PushAsync(new InfoPage());
});
}
I will suggest to you use this,
In Xaml
SelectionMode="Single"
SelectedItems="{Binding SelectMenu}"
and use this in viewModel
private Meni _selectMenu;
public Meni SelectMenu
{
get
{
return _selectMenu;
}
set
{
_selectMenu = value;
if(_selectMenu!=null)
//navigate to other page
OnPropertyChanged("SelectMenu");
}
}

How to solve this?
You could achieve CanExecute method in ICommand to replace the IsEnabled property of Button. You could refer to my demo.
This is a GIF of my demo.
Firstly, You could see MainPage.xaml. Binding the model view and set command for Buttons.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<ContentPage xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
xmlns:local="clr-namespace:TestDemo"
x:Class="TestDemo.MainPage">
<!--BindingContext from ButtonExecuteViewModel -->
<StackLayout>
<StackLayout.BindingContext>
<local:ButtonExecuteViewModel/>
</StackLayout.BindingContext>
<Button
Text="click me to enable following button"
Command="{Binding NewCommand}"/>
<Button
Text="Cancel"
Command="{Binding CancelCommand}"/>
</StackLayout>
Here is View Model ButtonExecuteViewModel.cs. You could see the construction method of ButtonExecuteViewModel, it set the execute and canExecute to acheve isEnable of Button.
public class ButtonExecuteViewModel : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
bool isEditing;
public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
public ButtonExecuteViewModel()
{
NewCommand = new Command(
execute: () =>
{
IsEditing = true;
RefreshCanExecutes();
},
canExecute: () =>
{
return !IsEditing;
});
CancelCommand = new Command(
execute: () =>
{
IsEditing = false;
RefreshCanExecutes();
},
canExecute: () =>
{
return IsEditing;
});
}
void RefreshCanExecutes()
{
(NewCommand as Command).ChangeCanExecute();
(CancelCommand as Command).ChangeCanExecute();
}
public ICommand NewCommand { private set; get; }
public ICommand CancelCommand { private set; get; }
public bool IsEditing
{
private set { SetProperty(ref isEditing, value); }
get { return isEditing; }
}
//Determine if it can be executed
bool SetProperty<T>(ref T storage, T value, [CallerMemberName] string propertyName = null)
{
if (Object.Equals(storage, value))
return false;
storage = value;
OnPropertyChanged(propertyName);
return true;
}
protected void OnPropertyChanged([CallerMemberName] string propertyName = null)
{
PropertyChanged?.Invoke(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(propertyName));
}
}
I tried all the answers here and nothing worked, I only solved creating a custom button component:
CustomButtonView.xaml
<Button xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
x:Class="CustomComponents.CustomButton.CustomButtonView"
FontAttributes="Bold"
TextColor="White"
FontSize="20"
TextTransform="Uppercase"
CornerRadius="20"
WidthRequest="200"
HorizontalOptions="Center" />
CustomButtonView.xaml.cs: Here lives the magic of the custom IsEnabled
using System.Windows.Input;
using Xamarin.Forms;
using Xamarin.Forms.Xaml;
namespace CustomComponents.CustomButton
{
[XamlCompilation(XamlCompilationOptions.Compile)]
public partial class CustomButtonView
{
#region constructors
public CustomButtonView()
{
InitializeComponent();
BackgroundColor = Color.Blue;
Clicked += (_, args) =>
{
if (IsEnabled) Command?.Execute(args);
};
}
#endregion
#region Command
public new static readonly BindableProperty CommandProperty = BindableProperty.Create(
nameof(Command),
typeof(ICommand),
typeof(CustomButtonView));
public new ICommand? Command
{
get => (ICommand)GetValue(CommandProperty);
set => SetValue(CommandProperty, value);
}
#endregion
#region IsEnabled
public new static readonly BindableProperty IsEnabledProperty = BindableProperty.Create(
nameof(IsEnabled),
typeof(bool),
typeof(CustomButtonView),
true,
propertyChanged: (bindable, _, newValue) =>
{
var component = (CustomButtonView)bindable;
if ((bool)newValue)
{
component.BackgroundColor = Color.Blue;
}
else
{
component.BackgroundColor = Color.Red;
}
});
public new bool IsEnabled
{
get => (bool)GetValue(IsEnabledProperty);
set => SetValue(IsEnabledProperty, value);
}
#endregion
}
}
Now you can use it like any regular button in your XAML:
<customButton:CustomButtonView Text="Button enabled"
Command="{Binding SomeCommand}"
IsEnabled="True"/>
<customButton:CustomButtonView Text="Button disabled"
Command="{Binding SomeCommand}"
IsEnabled="False"/>

ListView Data Binding in Xamarin Forms without using GetDashboard button

On Login or Navigating to Dashboard Page, fetching data from API, I am using an extra button (Show Communities) to fetch my Fetch my Data. here is my code
<StackLayout BackgroundColor="#30af91" Padding="60" VerticalOptions="Center">
<Entry Text="{Binding Username}" Placeholder="Username"/>
<Entry Text="{Binding Password}" IsPassword="True" Placeholder="Password"/>
<Button Command="{Binding LoginCommand}" Text="Login" Clicked="Button_OnClicked"/>
</StackLayout>
Button_OnClicked only navigate to Dashboard page
private async void Button_OnClicked(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
await Navigation.PushModalAsync(new Dashboard());
}
LoginCommand in LoginViewModel
public ICommand LoginCommand
{
get
{
return new Command(async() =>
{
var accesstoken = await _apiServices.LoginAsync(Username, Password);
Settings.AccessToken = accesstoken;
});
}
}
Here is my Dashboard Page
<MasterDetailPage xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"

</MasterDetailPage>
Here is my Communities page where i am using an extra button using GetDashboard Command
<ContentPage xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms"

</ListView.ItemTemplate>
</ListView>
</StackLayout>
</ContentPage>
Here is GetDashboard Command in my ViewModel
public ICommand GetDashboard
{
get
{
return new Command(async () =>
{
var accessToken = Settings.AccessToken;
UserDashboard = await _apiServices.GetDashboard(accessToken);
});
}
}
Here is my UserDashboard in the same view model.
public Dashboard UserDashboard
{
get { return _userDashboard; }
set
{
_userDashboard = value;
OnPropertyChanged();
}
}
I want to get rid of that extra button.
every page has an OnAppearing method that fires when the page is display. You can use this to load your data instead of having the user click a button.
public override async void OnAppearing() {
base.OnAppearing();
var accessToken = Settings.AccessToken;
UserDashboard = await _apiServices.GetDashboard(accessToken);
}
