Working with SfListView and Prism for Xamarin.Forms.
Xamarin ListView allows the user working it with Prism Tool for MVVM Framework. It can be done by following the below steps
- Replace the Application to PrismApplication in App.xaml file
- Inherited App.xaml.cs from PrismApplication instead of Application.
- Create prism namespace library reference in xaml file of ContentPage.
- Connect view and view model instead of binding context by registering.
Refer the below code snippet which illustrates, how to initialize prism and to register the view with view model.
C#
public partial class App : PrismApplication
{
public App(IPlatformInitializer initializer = null) : base(initializer) { }
protected override void OnInitialized()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
protected override void RegisterTypes()
{
Container.RegisterTypeForNavigation<MainPage, MainPageViewModel>();
}
}
XAML
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <prism:PrismApplication xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml" xmlns:prism="clr-namespace:Prism.Unity;assembly=Prism.Unity.Forms" x:Class="ListViewPrism.App"> </prism:PrismApplication>
Refer the below code snippet which illustrated how to insert the SfListView and to provide prism namespace library reference in ContentPage.
XAML
<ContentPage xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
xmlns:prism="clr-namespace:Prism.Mvvm;assembly=Prism.Forms"
xmlns:local="clr-namespace:ListViewPrism;assembly=ListViewPrism"
xmlns:listView="clr-namespace:Syncfusion.ListView.XForms;assembly=Syncfusion.SfListView.XForms"
x:Class="ListViewPrism.Views.MainPage"
Title="MainPage">
<StackLayout HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand" VerticalOptions="FillAndExpand">
<listView:SfListView x:Name="listView" ItemSize="70" ItemSpacing="0,0,5,0"
AutoFitMode="Height"
ItemsSource="{Binding contactsinfo}" IsStickyHeader="True"
AllowSwiping="True" IsStickyGroupHeader="True" GroupHeaderSize="50">
