Xamarin Picker Binding from nested classes - xamarin

Question

I am calling an API that returns nested classes (example below) and I am struggling to bind these to a Picker.
Is it possible to bind them nested classes to a picker as is? or do I need to somehow add them to a IList?
<Picker Title="Select a Currency" ItemsSource="{Binding CurrencyClass}" ItemDisplayBinding="{Binding currencyName}"/>
class MainPageViewModel : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
private Currencies _CurrencyClass;
public Currencies CurrencyClass
{
get { return _CurrencyClass; }
set
{
_CurrencyClass = value;
OnPropertyChanged();
}
}
}
This is a cut of the class they get desterilized too
public class Currencies
{
public class Rootobject
{
public Results results { get; set; }
}
public class Results
{
public XCD XCD { get; set; }
public EUR EUR { get; set; }
}
public class XCD
{
public string currencyName { get; set; }
public string currencySymbol { get; set; }
public string id { get; set; }
}
public class EUR
{
public string currencyName { get; set; }
public string currencySymbol { get; set; }
public string id { get; set; }
}
}
And this a cut of the json I am receiving.
{
"results": {
"XCD": {
"currencyName": "East Caribbean Dollar",
"currencySymbol": "$",
"id": "XCD"
},
"EUR": {
"currencyName": "Euro",
"currencySymbol": "€",
"id": "EUR"
}
}
}

Answer 1

So I figured out a work around for what I was aiming to achieve, this may not be a direct answer to my question but it is a solution for my issue.
I ended up just deserializing the JSON differently into a list of a Currency and then binding easily like you normally would.
class Currency
{
public string currencyName { get; set; }
public string currencySymbol { get; set; }
public string id { get; set; }
}
and how I deserialized it to fit in that class here, I parsed the JSON into a JObject and then for each child of each child I deserialize it into my Currency class.
List<Currency> cList = new List<Currency>();
HttpResponseMessage response = await client.GetAsync(urlAPI);
response.EnsureSuccessStatusCode();
string responseBody = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
JObject jo = JObject.Parse(responseBody);
var children = jo.SelectToken("results").Children();
foreach(var child in children)
{
var childrenOfChild = child.Children();
foreach(var c in childrenOfChild)
{
cList.Add(JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Currency>(JsonConvert.SerializeObject(c)));
}
}
