AutoComplete field not rendered (not visible) on iOS (Xamarin.Forms)

[Thomas Bomberg]

Hi,

I have an Xamarin.Forms application. It works fine on Android device, however AutoComplete field is not visible on iOS (both physical device iPhone 5s and simulators).

I tried both my application and sample.

Please suggest how to fix it. Thanks in advance.

Hello,

I am having the same issue, I am using MVVM and I just want to display a static list for now, the autocomplete does not render on the page in IOS 10.3 simulator

Constructor in View Model

public List<ComboBoxData> Items = new List<ComboBoxData>();

public ViewModel()

        {

            Items.Add(new ComboBoxData() { text = "25643", value = "PRO25643" });

            Items.Add(new ComboBoxData() { text = "25633", value = "PRO25633" });

            Items.Add(new ComboBoxData() { text = "24533", value = "PRO24533" });

            Items.Add(new ComboBoxData() { text = "25433", value = "PRO25433" });

            Items.Add(new ComboBoxData() { text = "26789", value = "PRO26789" });

        }

AppDelegate

new SfAutoCompleteRenderer();

XAML

<autocomplete:SfAutoComplete x:Name="Search" DisplayMemberPath="text" DataSource="{Binding Items}" />

XAML.cs

BindingContext = new ViewModel();

What is the problem?

[Guy Lemire]

Sorry, the documentation should say that HeightRequest & WidthRequest are mandatory, now it displays when I added them with values.

[Vanaja Annasamy]

Hi Guy,

Thank you for contacting Syncfusion support.

We suggest you to use SfAutoComplete control inside StackLayout because the control will be displayed in full screen so the dropdownitems does not get displayed. Thank you for your suggestion and we will mention the same in the documentation.

Hi,

This issue still present in currently latest version(18.2.0.57). I had to add 'new SfAutoCompleteRenderer();' in AppDelegate.cs as a workaround

[Suganya Sethuraman]

Hi xasan,

We have analyzed your query. This is not an issue. It is the rule to follow the steps to renderer the control in Xamarin.Forms iOS.

Note: Please create an instance of SfAutoCompleteRenderer in AppDelegate.cs class as per the following code example.

 

public override bool FinishedLaunching(UIApplication app, NSDictionary options) 

{ 

global::Xamarin.Forms.Forms.Init(); 

 

new SfAutoCompleteRenderer(); 

 

LoadApplication(new App()); 

 

return base.FinishedLaunching(app, options); 

}
