I am working with a xamarin Forms. I am using Picker
for DropDownList.
How can I set selectedItem to Picker?
My code
<Picker x:Name="VendorName" Title="Select" ItemDisplayBinding="{Binding VendorName}" SelectedItem="{Binding VendorName}" Style="{StaticResource PickerStyle}"></Picker>
and server side code is
Device.BeginInvokeOnMainThread(() =>
{
VendorName.ItemsSource = VendorList;
});
var currentVendor = new List<Vendor>();
currentVendor.Add(new Vendor { VendorID = "111", VendorName = "aaaa" });
VendorName.SelectedItem = currentVendor;
This may not be the most efficient but you could loop to find the index and set that way.
for (int x = 0; x < VendorList.Count; x++)
{
if (VendorList[x].VendorName == currentVendor .VendorName )
{
VendorName.SelectedIndex = x;
}
}
After adding all values as list in Picker
just treat with it as an array
so if you want to set selected item just set selected item index
currentVendor.SelectedIndex = 0;
zero means you make selected item is the first one you added to Picker
If you are using MVVM, and want to set SelectedItem
from the view model, things get tricky. There seems to be a bug in Xamarin that prevents us from using SelectedItem
with a two way binding. More info: Xamarin Forms ListView SelectedItem Binding Issue and https://xamarin.github.io/bugzilla-archives/58/58451/bug.html .
Luckily, we can easily write our own Picker
.
public class TwoWayPicker : Picker
{
public TwoWayPicker()
{
SelectedIndexChanged += (sender, e) => SelectedItem = ItemsSource[SelectedIndex];
}
public static new readonly BindableProperty SelectedItemProperty = BindableProperty.Create(
nameof(SelectedItem), typeof(object), typeof(TwoWayPicker), null, BindingMode.TwoWay, propertyChanged: OnSelectedItemChanged);
public new object SelectedItem
{
get => GetValue(SelectedItemProperty);
set => SetValue(SelectedItemProperty, value);
}
private static void OnSelectedItemChanged(BindableObject bindable, object oldValue, object newValue)
{
var control = (TwoWayPicker)bindable;
control.SetNewValue(newValue);
}
private void SetNewValue(object newValue)
{
if (newValue == null)
{
return;
}
for(int i = 0; i < ItemsSource.Count; i++)
{
if (ItemsSource[i].Equals(newValue))
{
SelectedIndex = i;
return;
}
}
}
}
Because is uses the same SelectedItem
property, it is a drop-in replacement for Picker
.
Note that if you want value equality rather than reference equality for the item class, you'll also need to override Equals
like this:
public override bool Equals(object obj)
{
var other = obj as YourClass;
if (other == null)
{
return false;
}
else
{
return other.SomeValue == SomeValue; // implement your own
}
}
If you define the item class as a record instead of a class then it can select the item programmatically using the SelectedItem property.
In your case change
public class Vendor { // your class properties }
to
public record Vendor { // your class properties }
This will now work
VendorName.SelectedItem = currentVendor;
