I'm trying to show a loading screen (ACR.Dialogs) while showing a new fragment, tried the following code however, the loading popup doesnt show; i know that i should be using threading however this is a click event, `
private void buttonloginClick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
UserDialogs.Instance.ShowLoading("Wait Please");
FragmentTransaction ft = FragmentManager.BeginTransaction();
ActiveJobs activeJobs = new ActiveJobs();
ft.Replace(Resource.Id.ll_frameLayout, activeJobs, "activeJobs");
FragmentManager.PopBackStack();
ft.AddToBackStack(null);
ft.Commit();
}`
Whats the way to show a loading screen while switching fragments?

I want to display awarded ad when app is starting.
I load ads under InitializeComponent(); with this code:
public MainPage()
{
InitializeComponent();
//Load Interestitial Ad
CrossMTAdmob.Current.LoadInterstitial("ca-app-pub-9688730828394396/1781454910");
//Load Rewarded Ad
CrossMTAdmob.Current.LoadRewardedVideo("ca-app-pub-9688730828394396/9667490273");
}
I have two buttons when users click on them different ads starting with this code:
private void ShowReward_OnClicked(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
CrossMTAdmob.Current.ShowRewardedVideo();
}
private void ShowInterstitial_OnClicked(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
CrossMTAdmob.Current.ShowInterstitial();
}
I try to put CrossMTAdmob.Current.ShowInterstitial(); from one button in my OnAppearing() method but when I start application, the ad does not appear with this code:
protected override void OnAppearing()
{
base.OnAppearing();
SetEvents();
CrossMTAdmob.Current.ShowInterstitial();
}
Can I get some example how to display my ad when app is starting ?
I'm the author of the plugin you are using.
You should check if the ads is actually loaded before trying to show it.
You can use
IsInterstitialLoaded()
And
IsRewardedVideoLoaded().
If these methods return true, then you can show the ads.
If the result is always false then you have to understand why they are not loaded, you can see in the output windows if you receive some error messages.
Most of the time the reason is a wrong Id.
I work on a Xamarin.Forms app (UWP!). It has a Master-Details architecture. The Master page has a ListView, and each item in it opens a corresponding Detail page. The first Detail page has only a WebView that plays a YouTube video upon loading. The second Detail view has just a placeholder label for now.
Where I switch from first Detail page to the second, the sound of the video from the first Detail page is still heard. And when I switch back to the first Detail page, the video loads again, and now I hear two voices. How can I stop the video upon switching to the second Detail page and resume when going back? If this is not possible, how can I just stop the video upon leaving its Detail page?
I guess I could do something in an overridden OnDisappearing() method of the detail page:
protected override void OnDisappearing()
{
MyWebView.NavigateToString(""); // This does not work, as NavigateToString() is not part of WebView.
base.OnDisappearing();
}
What can I use to stop playing video in WebView?
Could you please tell what I can use to stop playing video in WebView?
For your requirement, you could approach with injecting Eval java script.
private void Button_Clicked(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string pausefunctionString = #"
var videos = document.querySelectorAll('video');
[].forEach.call(videos, function(video) { video.pause(); });
";
MyWebView.Eval(pausefunctionString);
}
Update
I have re-checked your issue, when you navigate to another page, the WebView has not be released correctly. If you want to stop the WebView video play, you could make it navigate to blank page via custom WebViewRenderer.
[assembly: ExportRenderer(typeof(WebView), typeof(CustomWebViewRender))]
namespace App4.UWP
{
class CustomWebViewRender : WebViewRenderer
{
private Windows.UI.Xaml.Controls.WebView _WebView;
protected override void OnElementChanged(ElementChangedEventArgs<WebView> e)
{
base.OnElementChanged(e);
if (Control != null)
{
var source = Element.Source as UrlWebViewSource;
_WebView = new Windows.UI.Xaml.Controls.WebView();
SetNativeControl(_WebView);
}
}
protected override void OnElementPropertyChanged(object sender, PropertyChangedEventArgs e)
{
base.OnElementPropertyChanged(sender, e);
if (e.PropertyName == WebView.SourceProperty.PropertyName)
{
var source = Element.Source as UrlWebViewSource;
if (source.Url == string.Empty)
{
_WebView.NavigateToString(string.Empty);
}
}
}
}
}
Usage
protected override void OnAppearing()
{
base.OnAppearing();
MyWebView.Source = "https://www.youtube.com";
}
protected override void OnDisappearing()
{
MyWebView.Source = string.Empty;
base.OnDisappearing();
}
Xaml
<WebView HeightRequest="500" WidthRequest="500" x:Name="MyWebView"/>
We have an image with a gesture recognizer, which calls the CrossShare.Current.Share method. On Android this works fine but on iOS it does not. No error is thrown and there doesn't seem to be any issues, but the share sheet does not appear and from the user's point of view nothing happens when you click the button.
Have I missed some permissions or something somewhere?
This is my method;
async void On_Share(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (CrossConnectivity.Current.IsConnected)
{
var message = "Check out this";
var title = "Share this";
await CrossShare.Current.Share(new ShareMessage { Text = message, Title = title}, new ShareOptions { ExcludedUIActivityTypes = new[] { ShareUIActivityType.PostToFacebook } });
}
else
{
NoInternetLabel.IsVisible = true;
}
}
It doesn't throw any errors and I can step through the method fine - it definitely hits the Share line. This problem is only showing on iOS, Android has no issues.
EDIT: Seems to be working fine (we've tried doing it natively as well - without plugin) but now I'm getting Warning: Attempt to present on whose view is not in the window hierarchy!
Inside my application, I'm displaying a website using BrowserField. And when each link inside the site is selected, I need to show loading screen so that the user won't feel blank.
I was able to add the loading screen inside this method
public void documentCreated(BrowserField browserField,
ScriptEngine scriptEngine, Document document)
But the problem is only when connection is established, this method will be called and so there will be a delay before the loading screen is displayed.
So I tried implementing the ProtocolController and adding the loading screen inside this method
public void handleNavigationRequest(BrowserFieldRequest request)
But still, the loading screen is displayed after a small delay (same as when it was under documentCreated method)
This is my code snippet
public void handleNavigationRequest(BrowserFieldRequest request)
throws Exception {
if (!NetworkUtil.isNetworkAvailable()) {
Dialog.inform(Strings.NETWORK_ERROR);
} else {
UiApplication.getUiApplication().invokeAndWait(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
BaseScreen.showLoadingProgress(Strings.LOADING);
}
});
InputConnection ic = handleResourceRequest(request);
browserField.displayContent(ic, request.getURL());
}
}
I tried this outside the thread as well....Still the same is happening. For testing, I added a dialog inside this method and it was coming on the same time I'm clicking any link inside the site. Only this loading screen takes time to load.
Is there any way to make this happen ?
Also, the browser field is taking a bit longer to load the website compared to the native browser.
Am I missing something here ! Please help
I have tried the documentUnloading method as you suggested. But it is not getting triggered. Given below is the code snippet, could you please check what I'm doing wrong here...!!
protected void onUiEngineAttached(boolean attached) {
if (attached) {
BaseScreen.showLoadingProgress(Strings.LOADING);
}
super.onUiEngineAttached(attached);
}
try {
listener = new BrowserFieldListener() {
// Page starts loading...
public void documentCreated(BrowserField browserField,
ScriptEngine scriptEngine, Document document)
{
// show the loading screen
//showLoadingProgress(Strings.LOADING);
}
public void documentError(BrowserField browserField,
Document document) {
hideLoadingProgress();
Dialog.inform(Strings.NETWORK_ERROR);
}
public void documentAborted(BrowserField browserField,
Document document) {
hideLoadingProgress();
Dialog.inform(Strings.NETWORK_ERROR);
}
public void documentUnloading(BrowserField browserField,
Document document) {
BaseScreen.showLoadingProgress(Strings.LOADING);
}
// Page loaded
public void documentLoaded(BrowserField browserField,
Document document) {
// the document has loaded, hide loading popup ...
BaseScreen.hideLoadingProgress();
}
};
} catch (Exception ex) {
Dialog.inform(Strings.NETWORK_ERROR);
}
browserField.addListener(listener);
// add the browser field to a ui manager or screen
add(browserField);
// request the content
browserField.requestContent(URL);
I do this using the BrowserFieldListener (see BrowserFieldListener.html). It is slightly counter intuitive, but I display the loading screen in documentUnloading(), and remove it in documentLoaded(). When I first populate the BrowserField I also push the loading screen, and when the screen with the BrowserField is closed, I make sure the loading screen is popped too. So not a pretty solution, but it works for me.
And yes, in general, the BrowserField is slower than the Browser. I have not found a way round it. However one significant aspect is caching. Look for information on creating your own cache for the BrowserField - there is Thread on here and a KB article on the BB Web site. Sorry can't find them atm, will update when I do.
Update
As found by the OP, the caching article is here.
Further Update
Just to clarify two things:
You must associate the Listener with the BrowserField, using the addListener method.
Assuming you do the usual requestContent() for the initial load of your BrowserField, you will need to push the loading screen yourself because the first method in listener that will be invoked (assuming it has worked of course), will be documentLoaded().
A sample demonstrating how to use the Listener is included here:

I'm getting some strange behaviour in the start-up of a Windows app and wondered if anyone could throw any light on what is happening and how to get around it.
The problem is with the start-up of the app - it should show a splash screen then a login form. The code for this is:
[STAThread]
static void Main()
{
Application.ThreadException += Application_ThreadException;
MainForm mainForm = null;
Thread splashThread = new Thread(ShowSplash);
try
{
// set up app
Application.EnableVisualStyles();
Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
// Splash screen
Splash splash = new Splash();
splashThread.Start(splash);
// enable logging
log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator.Configure();
// Create main form
mainForm = new MainForm();
// kill splash
HideForm(splash);
splashThread.Abort();
}
catch (Exception e)
{
splashThread.Abort();
MessageBox.Show(e.Message, "An exception occurred: ", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error);
Environment.Exit(0);
}
// start
Login login = new Login();
login.Show();
if (!mainForm.IsDisposed)
{
Application.Run(mainForm);
}
}
static void ShowSplash(object splash)
{
if (!(splash is Splash))
throw new ArgumentException("Splash screen is of wrong type.");
Splash splashForm = (Splash) splash;
splashForm.ShowDialog();
}
// Thread safe hide form
private delegate void HideFormCallback(Form form);
private static void HideForm(Form form)
{
if (form == null || form.IsDisposed)
return;
if (form.InvokeRequired)
{
HideFormCallback d = HideForm;
form.Invoke(d, new object[] { form });
}
else
{
form.Hide();
}
}
So, we're starting up a new thread with the splash screen, setting up the rest of the app in the meantime, then killing the splash screen just before showing the login form.
The problem I'm having is that the login form doesn't have focus when the app starts. The splash screen pops up and goes away as expected. The login form pops up in front of any open windows but doesn't have focus - the folder containing the executable (that I double-clicked to launch) still has focus even when it's behind the login form.
If I comment out all the lines to do with the splash screen, the login form has focus when it appears.
My guess would be that the focus reverts back to the executable folder when the splash screen is hidden but I don't know why the login form doesn't get focus when it launches.
Calling .Focus() on the login form returns null so doesn't work.
Neither form have TopMost or such set on them.
If anyone has any suggestions for what's going on, it would be much appreciated.
This is what I've ended up doing as a somewhat hacky fix:
void LoginView_Shown(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
SetForegroundWindow(Handle);
this.BringToFront();
Activate();
}
[DllImport("user32")]
public static extern int SetForegroundWindow(IntPtr hwnd);
