I'm developing an App which needs to download and display XAML-Code from a webserver. Till now my code works like expected but now I need to display an WebView which needs to have access to GPS-Data (which be can used with a chrome-browser on android). I tested the implementation and everything. When compiling the XAML-Code within the app-code, everything works like a charme. Even XAML-Hot-Reload works, but as soon as I try to load my content-page with following code:
public static class GUIFramework
{
public static readonly string PRE_FRAMEWORK_XAML = "<ContentPage xmlns=\"http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms\" xmlns:x=\"http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml\" xmlns:local=\"clr-namespace:Buerger_App.Renderer;assembly=Buerger_App\" x:Class=\"Buerger_App.Views.Framework\"><ContentPage.Content>";
public static readonly string POST_FRAMEWORK_XAML = "</ContentPage.Content></ContentPage>";
/// <summary>
/// This Dictionary is used for caching all of the generated CententPages in the memory.
/// This is needed due to the Page-XAML-Code needs to be compiled JIT and this can cause noticable delay.
/// The Caching automatically jumps in after a page was loaded once.
/// </summary>
private static Dictionary<string, ContentPage> CachedContentPages = new Dictionary<string, ContentPage>();
/// <summary>
/// Loads the given XAML string as a new ContentPage and binds the Framework Binding-Context
/// </summary>
/// <param name="XAML_Content">A string representing the XAML formatted code</param>
/// <returns>The newly created ContentPage</returns>
public static ContentPage LoadFramework(string XAML_Content, string Title = "")
{
string pre_XAML = PRE_FRAMEWORK_XAML;
if (Title != "")
{
pre_XAML = pre_XAML.Replace("<ContentPage ", "<ContentPage Title=\"" Title "\" ");
}
string FinalXAML = pre_XAML XAML_Content POST_FRAMEWORK_XAML;
ContentPage ContentPage = null;
// Use caching and read the XAML live from the phone and/or cache
string hash = SHA256Hash.GetHash(FinalXAML);
if (CachedContentPages.ContainsKey(hash))
ContentPage = CachedContentPages[hash];
else
{
ContentPage = new ContentPage().LoadFromXaml(FinalXAML);
CachedContentPages.Add(hash, ContentPage);
}
ContentPage.BindingContext = new FrameworkViewModel();
return ContentPage;
}
// More code ...
}
I tried to load following XAML-Code (the full XAML-Code gets built using the LoadFramework
-function):
<StackLayout>
<Image Source="logo_wide.jpg" Margin="0,0,0,25"/>
<local:GeoWebView x:Name="WebView" Margin="10,0,10,0" HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand" VerticalOptions="FillAndExpand" Source="https://google.de" />
</StackLayout>
The LoadFromXAML-extension runs without any error (no exception thrown). It only skips to create my custom GeoWebView (which I can verify in the childs of the newly created ContentPage in the debugger (the ContentPage only has 1 child and this is the image created before my custom WebView)).
CodePudding user response:
Ok, so i fiddled around a bit and found my solution. The problem I had was also described here. The answer mentioned to add the assembly-key to the namespace in the XAML-code which should get dynamically loaded was generally correct but I did it wrong in my original question (I added the assembly-key but with an incrorrect assembly-name).
The problem on my tests was, that I've entered Buerger_App
as the assembly which is my default namespace and not my assembly-name. My assembly-name is Buerger App
.
After correcting the XAML-code it started to work like expected.
