C＃-搜索TextView多行

Question

I have created a Multi Line TextView in C# using Xamarin but need some help with searching through it using the users input.

This is the multi line textview -

           TextView productList1 = FindViewById<TextView>(Resource.Id.productList);

The Data -

       productList1.Text += "Tomato Soup" + System.Environment.NewLine;
       productList1.Text += "Yo-yo" + System.Environment.NewLine;
       productList1.Text += "Hammer" + System.Environment.NewLine;

The statement which doesn't work -

if (productSearch.Text.Contains(productList1.ToString()) == true)
            {
               editingResult.Text = "Found";
            }

With productSearch being the users input and editingResult being a textview where the "Found" is being shown.

However, I can use this statement to search which works fine but I wish to search through the entire list not individually.

    if (productSearch.Text.Contains("Hammer") == true)
           {
               editingResult.Text = "Found";
            }

Any Ideas?

Thank You

Change your code to:

if (productList1.Text.Contains(productSearch.Text.ToString()))
{
     editingResult.Text = "Found";
}
