After I've added the Done button on iOS numeric keyboard in Xamarin Forms, I encountered another problem: the Done button not firing Completed event (like return button does). On my way to implement this, I found the following code on Xamarin Forums:
using System;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Reflection;
using Xamarin.Forms.Platform.iOS;
using Xamarin.Forms;
using UIKit;
using KeyboardTest.iOS;
using KeyboardTest;
[assembly: ExportRenderer(typeof(EntryDone), typeof(EntryDoneRenderer))]
namespace KeyboardTest.iOS
{
public class EntryDoneRenderer : EntryRenderer
{
// used to cache the MethodInfo so we only have the reflection hit once
private MethodInfo baseEntrySendCompleted = null;
public EntryDoneRenderer ()
{
}
protected override void OnElementChanged(ElementChangedEventArgs<Entry> e)
{
base.OnElementChanged (e);
if (this.Element.Keyboard == Keyboard.Numeric)
{
// only want the Done on the numeric keyboard type
UIToolbar toolbar = new UIToolbar (new RectangleF (0.0f, 0.0f, (float)Control.Frame.Size.Width, 44.0f));
var doneButton = new UIBarButtonItem (UIBarButtonSystemItem.Done, delegate {
this.Control.ResignFirstResponder ();
Type baseEntry = this.Element.GetType();
if(baseEntrySendCompleted==null)
{
// use reflection to find our method
baseEntrySendCompleted = baseEntry.GetMethod("SendCompleted",BindingFlags.NonPublic|BindingFlags.Instance);
}
try
{
baseEntrySendCompleted.Invoke(this.Element,null);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
// handle the invoke error condition
}
});
toolbar.Items = new UIBarButtonItem[] {
new UIBarButtonItem (UIBarButtonSystemItem.FlexibleSpace),
doneButton
};
this.Control.InputAccessoryView = toolbar;
}
}
}
}
I don't know why, but I receive the error:
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
at myGame.iOS.DoneEntryRenderer.<OnElementChanged>m__0 (System.Object , System.EventArgs ) [0x0005d] in /Users/silviu/Projects/myGame/iOS/DoneEntry.cs:37
On that line I have the code:
baseEntrySendCompleted.Invoke(this.Element, null);
I’ve tried to debug the problem and I found that the SendCompleted
method does not exist, but I don’t understand how to solve this problem in the lastest version of Xamarin, because I think on the moment when that guy posted the code, worked.
Thanks!
