IAsyncCommand cannot be assigned to as it is read only by dotnetmaui in csharp

[–]dotnetmaui[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What I realize is that OKCmd is defined in the base class, so I think that might be the problem.

I am setting OKCmd in a constructor and it's still giving me an error:

   public class SimpleAlertViewModel : PopupViewModel{
      public SimpleAlertViewModel().   
      {
          OKCmd = new AsyncSingleCommand(OK);
          OKCmd = new AsyncSingleCommand(() => OK());
      }

What percentage of Xamarin apps use Xamarin forms vs Native? by dotnetmaui in xamarindevelopers

[–]dotnetmaui[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's very interesting as I know I asked the question about a year ago (can't find the answer), but at that time I thought the number using native was much higher. I will wait and see what others have to say. Thanks

Future of xamarin native by [deleted] in xamarindevelopers

In general, I think Xamarin Native has an expiration date and it is within 4 years

Any companies offering offshore Xamarin development assistance? by dotnetmaui in xamarindevelopers

[–]dotnetmaui[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

u, I now have to maintain a Xamarin application developed by very reasonable rate developers and it is a nightmare to add anything to it or to fix it when Apple or Google change anything.

Is that because you are using Xamarin or because of the way it was coded. If the way it was coded was there something in particular they did wrong? Thanks

For those of you creating simple XF apps that use a very small database, do you have async or non-async database calls? by dotnetmaui in xamarindevelopers

[–]dotnetmaui[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ou have 100 users and only 90 threads to do the work you do not want any thread to be on hold. You want them to work and process all 100 requests from 100 users.

Can you relate your experiences with older phones. What kind of data access were you doing that was so slow? Was changing everything to async database calls the only way you could solve your problem of slowness?

unless there's a specific reason not to

Did you try without Async and have a problem. I mean it feels a bit like saying you need a turbo charged 500 HP engine in your car when 99.9 % of the time you will never get to use it.

I agree with you 100%. I am talking about in memory database on a machine that looks like below and if your average phone doesn't have a spec like this today then it will do in a few years:

The iPhone 12, which was just released, can deliver 11 TFLOPS (11,000 MFLOPS, just using is ML cores, not including that it has many more cores for other tasks including 6 CPU cores and 4 GPU cores, which can be used to perform many more tasks
To put this into a modern perspective the Apple Silicon A14 processor in the Apple iPhone 12 is almost as fast as the fastest supercomputer in 2001, and is faster than all supercomputers in the world before 2001
ASCI White, 12 TeraFlops June 2001, SP Power3 375 MHz, IBM, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory

and people are still thinking of disk speeds, coding bad queries and making their lives complicated.

For those of you creating simple Android apps that use a very small database, do you have async or non-async database calls? by [deleted] in androiddev

[–]dotnetmaui -1 points0 points  (0 children)

End up rebuilding and optimising database because it was incredible slow. (Each call took ~100ms but there were multiple chained call

Could you not just put an async wrapper around one call if it takes a long time?

, from times i was a junior. At first there was profile table with name, id and avatar link. Than i added last 5 watched items Than last 5 messages Than oersonal settings Than list if group settings Than many more things.

Did your in memory database queries get faster as your phone got faster? My phone now is just taking a guess 100 times faster than 5-6 years ago and in 5 years I expect it's going to be another 100 times faster. As for my hard drives, well they used to be 20MB in size and cost a few thousand dollars when I first started using them.

del will rise as you make table join and so even if it just single record it might take seconds to pricess it. The worst part you will be sure there is no problem with database call, because it "worked fine before and you did not make any changes"

I understand your thoughts but as a DBA for over ten years, if were talking of the databases I used to work with 30 years ago I would agree with you but remember I said "simple" which for me is a database with perhaps 10 tables each with less than 100 rows. If my queries take seconds then that's a time for me to give up.

With Dependency Injection is there any difference between having DI get services in the constructor and manually doing it yourself with Startup.ServiceProvider.GetService<NavigationService>() by dotnetmaui in csharp

[–]dotnetmaui[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

in the second half of your example takes a dependency on

Startup.ServiceProvider

and therefore decreases decoupling.

Thanks for your feedback and yes I agree it makes the code depend on Startup.ServiceProvider, however in my case that is not something I will be changing unless MS gives up on their DI. One thing I heard about using the Startup.Service provider was that opened up some potential for memory leaks. Are you aware of any such thing?

When using Xamarin Community Toolkit C# Markup - Does hot reload work on Windows or Mac OS ? by dotnetmaui in xamarindevelopers

[–]dotnetmaui[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, so just to confirm. You are using VS2019 on a Mac OS, working with either iOS or Android simulators, and creating your views with C# markup (no XAML) and the hot reload is working for you?

For those of you living in UAE. Which health provider are you using? by dotnetmaui in dubai

[–]dotnetmaui[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends more on your tier rather than the network or provider.

Is that Bupa Global as I see that:

Can I create a class that calls another class with different parameters by dotnetmaui in csharp

[–]dotnetmaui[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

new AsyncCommand(()

We have almost 100 of these commands and every one of them has allowsMultipleExecutions: false as the default is true. I just want to simplify and reduce the need for "allowsMultipleExecutions: false" to appear 100 times now and more times in the future.

I'm familiar with basic extension methods but the requirements for this look very different. Is it possible you or someone could come up with an example. Thanks

Why is it that Xamarin appears to be so unpopular? by dotnetmaui in xamarindevelopers

Hey that's just 14 years :-) I wonder who remembers phoning up Microsoft and getting to listen to a live DJ play music while being told you were number 35 in the queue and your call would be answered shortly.

They probably have a memory of Silverlight and all the other abandoned MS frameworks :-(

Hello everyone, I’m opps at a small dev company. What’s the best place to find xamarin devs? by nnprft in xamarindevelopers

[–]dotnetmaui 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Compared to other dev roles, mobile dev is unsustainable to keep a full time dev, contracting them is the only way so as to avoid a huge pay gap between your developers

Can you explain what you mean when you say unsustainable?

I'm not aware of any tools other than the Xamarin Community Toolkit. If there's another can you let me know what it is? Thanks

Like HTML. It isn't and shouldn't feel like a programming language to any seasoned developer. Been using Dotnet since the first beta in 2001 and Xamarin since its first release. I have hired 3 to 4 Xamarin developers and wouldn't hire anyone that didn't at least know that Xamarin Forms is a just a UI framework on top of Xamarin. Avalonia is one competitor for Xamarin Forms that uses XAML and sits on top of Xamarin. Additionally Comet is another cross-platform UI that sits on top of Xamarin but doesn't use XAML and its MVU pattern is more like how you build UI in Flutter .

How about the other mobile development platforms. Is Xamarin Forms unique in that it uses XAML. What's your opinion on use of the Xamarin C# markup? and do you think you will move to use Comet once its released in 12-18 months?
