@slodge @slodge
@slodge http://bit.ly/mvvmcross
@slodge Coming up… • C# Cross Platform • An Mvvm Introduction • Some Code: TwitterSearch • Some Extras • Q&A
@slodge Mobile C#
@slodge Why C#? • You already have: – skills – tools – code • “low level” – compiles – testable – quick • Enables native look and feel on all platforms • Generics, Linq, Async and the future…
@slodge What you need – WP7: • A Windows 7 PC • Free Tools or better! • AppHub account $99 • A phone sometimes helps…
@slodge What you need - Android: • Windows PC or a Mac • Free Tools • Play account $25 • A phone really helps… • Mono 4 Android $400
@slodge What you need - iOS: • An Intel-based Mac • Account-Linked Tools • iOS Account $99 • A phone often helps… • MonoTouch - $400
@slodge Getting Started Links…
@slodge MVVM
@slodge Mvvm Basics get/set Properties ViewModel call Commands ViewModel Model View ViewModel Whatever C# you Model View like! Model View notify changes some messaging
@slodge MVVM Technical Details • Properties • INotifyPropertyChanged • INotifyCollectionChanged • Data Binding • IValueConverter • ICommand • UI Thread
@slodge Mvvm Benefits • The “normal” reasons: – Separation of concerns – Designability (Blendability) – Testability • The MvvmCross reason: – Cross platform code reuse
@slodge Mvvm Cross Platform get/set Properties ViewModel call Commands ViewModel Model View ViewModel Whatever C# you Model View like! Model View notify changes some messaging Platform Specific Shared
@slodge Some longer introductions…
@slodge Twitter Search
@slodge What we want to build… Home Page: Result Page:
@slodge The Model and Service
@slodge HomeViewModel
@slodge TwitterViewModel
@slodge Navigation • The HomeViewModel calls: • Which means the TwitterViewModel gets created with:
@slodge Test it!
@slodge Some Unit Tests
@slodge “Win32”
@slodge A Console App
@slodge WP7
@slodge A WP7 App
@slodge Inside WP7 App… • No C#, just XAML with {Binding} • Binding syntax includes: {Binding Path, Converter=Converter, ConverterParameter=Parameter, Mode=Mode, FallbackValue=Fallback}
@slodge Inside WP7 App… • ViewModel is auto-wired via MvxPhonePage<TViewModel> inheritance
@slodge Inside WP7 App… • ValueConverters are used for presenting property values
@slodge Inside WP7 App… • Lists…
@slodge Inside WP7 App… • Navigation is mapped to XAML Uri’s – with parameters put in a JSON object in the path. • Implementation hidden from the View and ViewModel.
@slodge Android
@slodge An Android App
@slodge Inside Android App… • No C#, just xml with MvxBind attributes • MvxBind syntax is JSON based on XAML structure.
@slodge Binding – Xaml versus Mvx WP7: Text=‚{Binding SearchText,Mode=TwoWay}‛ Android: local:MvxBind=‚{‘Text’: {‘Path’:’SearchText’,’Mode’:’TwoWay’}}‛
@slodge Binding – Xaml versus Mvx WP7: Text=‚{Binding Timestamp,Converter={StaticResource TimeAgo}}‛ Android: local:MvxBind=‚{‘Text’: {‘Path’:’Timestamp’,Converter’:’TimeAgo’} }‛
@slodge Inside Android App… • ValueConverters are used for presenting property values
@slodge Inside Android App • ViewModels are auto-wired using MvxBindingActivityView<TViewModel> inheritance
@slodge Inside Android App… • Lists…
@slodge Inside Android App… • Navigation is mapped to Intent’s– with parameters put in a JSON object in the Extras. • Implementation hidden from the View and ViewModel.
@slodge iPhone
@slodge iPhone App
@slodge Inside iPhone App • UI is drawn in XML using Xcode • XIB is linked to C# classes using MonoTouch • Binding is declared in C# using JSON
@slodge
@slodge Inside iPhone App • ViewModels are auto-wired using inheritance and a constructor parameter:
@slodge Inside iPhone App • ValueConverters are used for presenting property values
@slodge Inside iPhone App • Lists…
@slodge Inside iPhone App • Navigation is mapped to C# calls. • Implementation mostly hidden from the View and ViewModel
@slodge
@slodge iPad
@slodge iPad App
@slodge Inside iPad App • The iPad App is actually the iPhone App. • But the UI is different – take advantage of the larger screen. • Achieved in code: IMvxTouchViewPresenter
@slodge
@slodge Windows 8 (WinRT/Metro)
@slodge Windows 8 Metro App
@slodge Inside Windows 8 Metro App…
@slodge Inside Windows 8 Metro App…
@slodge Inside Windows 8 Metro App… It’s like WP7…. • No C#, just XAML with {Binding} • ValueConverters are used in Bindings • Lists are filled using ItemsSource • BUT: Navigation is achieved through code – not Xaml Uri’s
@slodge Inside Windows 8 Metro App Warnings: • MvvmCross WinRT implementation is “first cut” – e.g. differences in ViewModel lifecycle • Under-the-hood Win8 implementation is native code – there are big differences. – differences in XAML – differences in .Net/C# • Everything is async.
@slodge Inside Windows 8 Metro App… • Beyond the warnings – look at the numbers!
@slodge Recap
@slodge TwitterSearch recap… • Shared C# Core – ViewModels – Models – Services – Converters – Tests • UIs are “mostly XML/JSON”
@slodge Some Extras
@slodge Panoramas, Pivots and Tabs • Tabbed navigation is another common metaphor across phones and across ipads too. • Generally speaking think of each “tab” as its own ViewModel. • Binding is then available in each platform.
@slodge “Tabs”
@slodge Jump Lists • Are possible… • But need separate list formats on each platform… • Thinking about how best to do this… • Open to ideas!
@slodge Dependency Injection • Useful for testing • Essential for injecting platform specific services – e.g: – Camera capture – GPS services – NFC • MvvmCross wraps OpenNetCF DI – adds some extension methods: – RegisterServiceInstance<TService>(instance) – RegisterServiceType<TService, TServiceType>() – GetService<TService>()
@slodge Native Types • Sometimes #define is necessary… • Personally, I try to use interfaces and DI wherever possible.
@slodge i18n • Choices: – Each platform has their own localisation format available. – Xamarin are supporting .resx files… – MvvmCross provides a .json file mechanism – Or write your own
@slodge Blendability • Limited support available right now. • It’s relatively easy to integrate your own design time ViewModelLocator with design time data…
@slodge Problems? • WinRT – issues… • Xcode designer - OMG • iOS development and debugging is most painful • Some compiler differences – JIT • Multiple “core” project files annoying – and breaks refactoring • MvvmCross still changing
@slodge That’s all folks
@slodge That’s all folks… Hopefully we covered: • C# Cross Platform • An Mvvm Introduction • Some Code: TwitterSearch • Some Extras There might be time for: • Q&A

Wpug mvvm and data binding

  • 1. @slodge Cross Platform Mobile C#, Mvvm and DataBinding WP7 Android iPhone iPad Win 8
  • 4. @slodge Coming up… • C# Cross Platform • An Mvvm Introduction • Some Code: TwitterSearch • Some Extras • Q&A
  • 6. @slodge Why C#? • You already have: – skills – tools – code • “low level” – compiles – testable – quick • Enables native look and feel on all platforms • Generics, Linq, Async and the future…
  • 7. @slodge What you need – WP7: • A Windows 7 PC • Free Tools or better! • AppHub account $99 • A phone sometimes helps…
  • 8. @slodge What you need - Android: • Windows PC or a Mac • Free Tools • Play account $25 • A phone really helps… • Mono 4 Android $400
  • 9. @slodge What you need - iOS: • An Intel-based Mac • Account-Linked Tools • iOS Account $99 • A phone often helps… • MonoTouch - $400
  • 12. @slodge Mvvm Basics get/set Properties ViewModel call Commands ViewModel Model View ViewModel Whatever C# you Model View like! Model View notify changes some messaging
  • 13. @slodge MVVM Technical Details • Properties • INotifyPropertyChanged • INotifyCollectionChanged • Data Binding • IValueConverter • ICommand • UI Thread
  • 14. @slodge Mvvm Benefits • The “normal” reasons: – Separation of concerns – Designability (Blendability) – Testability • The MvvmCross reason: – Cross platform code reuse
  • 15. @slodge Mvvm Cross Platform get/set Properties ViewModel call Commands ViewModel Model View ViewModel Whatever C# you Model View like! Model View notify changes some messaging Platform Specific Shared
  • 18. @slodge What we want to build… Home Page: Result Page:
  • 22. @slodge Navigation • The HomeViewModel calls: • Which means the TwitterViewModel gets created with:
  • 29. @slodge Inside WP7 App… • No C#, just XAML with {Binding} • Binding syntax includes: {Binding Path, Converter=Converter, ConverterParameter=Parameter, Mode=Mode, FallbackValue=Fallback}
  • 30. @slodge Inside WP7 App… • ViewModel is auto-wired via MvxPhonePage<TViewModel> inheritance
  • 31. @slodge Inside WP7 App… • ValueConverters are used for presenting property values
  • 32. @slodge Inside WP7 App… • Lists…
  • 33. @slodge Inside WP7 App… • Navigation is mapped to XAML Uri’s – with parameters put in a JSON object in the path. • Implementation hidden from the View and ViewModel.
  • 36. @slodge Inside Android App… • No C#, just xml with MvxBind attributes • MvxBind syntax is JSON based on XAML structure.
  • 37. @slodge Binding – Xaml versus Mvx WP7: Text=‚{Binding SearchText,Mode=TwoWay}‛ Android: local:MvxBind=‚{‘Text’: {‘Path’:’SearchText’,’Mode’:’TwoWay’}}‛
  • 38. @slodge Binding – Xaml versus Mvx WP7: Text=‚{Binding Timestamp,Converter={StaticResource TimeAgo}}‛ Android: local:MvxBind=‚{‘Text’: {‘Path’:’Timestamp’,Converter’:’TimeAgo’} }‛
  • 39. @slodge Inside Android App… • ValueConverters are used for presenting property values
  • 40. @slodge Inside Android App • ViewModels are auto-wired using MvxBindingActivityView<TViewModel> inheritance
  • 41. @slodge Inside Android App… • Lists…
  • 42. @slodge Inside Android App… • Navigation is mapped to Intent’s– with parameters put in a JSON object in the Extras. • Implementation hidden from the View and ViewModel.
  • 45. @slodge Inside iPhone App • UI is drawn in XML using Xcode • XIB is linked to C# classes using MonoTouch • Binding is declared in C# using JSON
  • 47. @slodge Inside iPhone App • ViewModels are auto-wired using inheritance and a constructor parameter:
  • 48. @slodge Inside iPhone App • ValueConverters are used for presenting property values
  • 49. @slodge Inside iPhone App • Lists…
  • 50. @slodge Inside iPhone App • Navigation is mapped to C# calls. • Implementation mostly hidden from the View and ViewModel
  • 54. @slodge Inside iPad App • The iPad App is actually the iPhone App. • But the UI is different – take advantage of the larger screen. • Achieved in code: IMvxTouchViewPresenter
  • 58. @slodge Inside Windows 8 Metro App…
  • 59. @slodge Inside Windows 8 Metro App…
  • 60. @slodge Inside Windows 8 Metro App… It’s like WP7…. • No C#, just XAML with {Binding} • ValueConverters are used in Bindings • Lists are filled using ItemsSource • BUT: Navigation is achieved through code – not Xaml Uri’s
  • 61. @slodge Inside Windows 8 Metro App Warnings: • MvvmCross WinRT implementation is “first cut” – e.g. differences in ViewModel lifecycle • Under-the-hood Win8 implementation is native code – there are big differences. – differences in XAML – differences in .Net/C# • Everything is async.
  • 62. @slodge Inside Windows 8 Metro App… • Beyond the warnings – look at the numbers!
  • 64. @slodge TwitterSearch recap… • Shared C# Core – ViewModels – Models – Services – Converters – Tests • UIs are “mostly XML/JSON”
  • 66. @slodge Panoramas, Pivots and Tabs • Tabbed navigation is another common metaphor across phones and across ipads too. • Generally speaking think of each “tab” as its own ViewModel. • Binding is then available in each platform.
  • 68. @slodge Jump Lists • Are possible… • But need separate list formats on each platform… • Thinking about how best to do this… • Open to ideas!
  • 69. @slodge Dependency Injection • Useful for testing • Essential for injecting platform specific services – e.g: – Camera capture – GPS services – NFC • MvvmCross wraps OpenNetCF DI – adds some extension methods: – RegisterServiceInstance<TService>(instance) – RegisterServiceType<TService, TServiceType>() – GetService<TService>()
  • 70. @slodge Native Types • Sometimes #define is necessary… • Personally, I try to use interfaces and DI wherever possible.
  • 71. @slodge i18n • Choices: – Each platform has their own localisation format available. – Xamarin are supporting .resx files… – MvvmCross provides a .json file mechanism – Or write your own
  • 72. @slodge Blendability • Limited support available right now. • It’s relatively easy to integrate your own design time ViewModelLocator with design time data…
  • 73. @slodge Problems? • WinRT – issues… • Xcode designer - OMG • iOS development and debugging is most painful • Some compiler differences – JIT • Multiple “core” project files annoying – and breaks refactoring • MvvmCross still changing
  • 75. @slodge That’s all folks… Hopefully we covered: • C# Cross Platform • An Mvvm Introduction • Some Code: TwitterSearch • Some Extras There might be time for: • Q&A
