I have a great BindablePicker found on these forums below. However, it only works if the bound collection already contains its items at the time of binding. How can I modify this code so that adding items to the underlying ItemsSource -after- the binding has been set updates the items in the picker?
Thanks guys!!
public class BindablePicker : Picker
{
public static readonly BindableProperty HasBorderProperty =
BindableProperty.Create<BindablePicker, bool>(p => p.HasBorder, false);
public bool HasBorder
{
get { return (bool)GetValue(HasBorderProperty); }
set { SetValue(HasBorderProperty, value); }
}
public BindablePicker()
{
this.SelectedIndexChanged += OnSelectedIndexChanged;
}
public static BindableProperty ItemsSourceProperty =
BindableProperty.Create<BindablePicker, IEnumerable>(o => o.ItemsSource, default(IEnumerable),
propertyChanged: OnItemsSourceChanged);
public static BindableProperty SelectedItemProperty =
BindableProperty.Create<BindablePicker, object>(o => o.SelectedItem, default(object),
propertyChanged: OnSelectedItemChanged);
public IList ItemsSource
{
get { return (IList)GetValue(ItemsSourceProperty); }
set { SetValue(ItemsSourceProperty, value); }
}
public object SelectedItem
{
get { return (object)GetValue(SelectedItemProperty); }
set { SetValue(SelectedItemProperty, value); }
}
private static void OnItemsSourceChanged(BindableObject bindable, IEnumerable oldvalue, IEnumerable newvalue)
{
var picker = bindable as BindablePicker;
picker.Items.Clear();
if (newvalue != null)
{
foreach (var item in newvalue)
{
picker.Items.Add(item.ToString());
}
}
}
private void OnSelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs eventArgs)
{
if (SelectedIndex < 0 || SelectedIndex > Items.Count - 1)
{
SelectedItem = null;
}
else
{
SelectedItem = Items[SelectedIndex];
}
}
private static void OnSelectedItemChanged(BindableObject bindable, object oldvalue, object newvalue)
{
var picker = bindable as BindablePicker;
if (newvalue != null)
{
picker.SelectedIndex = picker.Items.IndexOf(newvalue.ToString());
}
}
}
