ListView not refreshing after adding value in Xamarin Forms

Question

What i am doing is passing data through more than 2 pages. I assign viewmodel to next page while i am navigating. In second page i have a listview that is not refreshing/updating after adding a value.

Help me please!!

Here is my code

MyViewModel

public class MyViewModel : INotifyPropertyChanged
    { 
        public string _userName { get; set; }
        public List<family> familyList;
        public List<family> FamilyList
        {
            get { return familyList; }
            set
            {
                familyList = value;
                OnPropertyChanged();
            }
        }       
        public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
        public MyViewModel()
        {
            _userName = "Mak";
            familyList = new List<family>();
        }
        public void AddMember(string memberName)
        {
            FamilyList.Add(new family
            {
                name = memberName,
                id = Guid.NewGuid().ToString(),
                username=_userName
            });
        }
 protected virtual void OnPropertyChanged([CallerMemberName] string propertyName = null)
        {
            PropertyChangedEventHandler handler = PropertyChanged;
            if (handler != null)
                handler(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(propertyName));
        }
}

Answer 1

I agree with Atul: Using an ObservableCollection is the right way to do it.

A workaround - if you don't have a chance to change that - is to set the ListView's ItemSource to null and back to the list, whenever data changed and the UI needs to update:

void UpdateListView(ListView listView)
{
    var itemsSource = listView.ItemsSource;
    listView.ItemsSource = null;
    listView.ItemsSource = itemsSource;
}

In fact, you must use a collection that implements INotifyCollectionChanged interface (instead of the well known INofifyPropertyChanged). And that's exactly what does ObservableCollection<T> for you. This is why it works like "magic".
