I am trying to dynamically show/hide button inside Xamarin Forms ContentPage. I have two buttons in my XAML code:
<StackLayout Orientation="Vertical">
<Button x:Name="start_btn" Clicked="startPanic">
<Button.Text>START</Button.Text>
</Button>
<Button x:Name="stop_btn" IsVisible="false">
<Button.Text>STOP</Button.Text>
</Button>
</StackLayout>
Corresponding C# code:
public partial class PanicPage : ContentPage
{
private Button startBtn;
private Button stopBtn;
public PanicPage ()
{
InitializeComponent ();
startBtn = this.FindByName<Button> ("start_btn");
stopBtn = this.FindByName<Button> ("stop_btn");
}
private void startPanic(object sender, EventArgs args){
Device.BeginInvokeOnMainThread (() => {
startBtn.IsVisible = false;
stopBtn.IsVisible = true; // DOESN'T WORK, button still will be hidden
});
}
}
When I set isVisible property in XAML, it doesn't react for any property change in event method (startPanic). How can I fix it?
Change your code in xmal file and write properties for start and stop button
<Button x:Name="start_btn" Clicked="startPanic" IsVisible="{Binding IsStartVisible}">
<Button.Text>START</Button.Text>
</Button>
<Button x:Name="stop_btn" IsVisible="{Binding IsStopVisible}">
<Button.Text>STOP</Button.Text>
</Button>
In ViewModel write following property and similar for start button and set IsStopVisible =true/false based on your logic
private bool _isStopVisible;
public bool IsStopVisible{
get {
return _isStopVisible;
}
set {
_isStopVisible= value;
RaisePropertyChanged ("IsStopVisible");
}
}
Maybe I'm late but I was searching this too without success. This may be useful for someone.
objectView.SetValue(IsVisibleProperty, false); // the view is GONE, not invisible
objectView.SetValue(IsVisibleProperty, true);
