NullReferenceException on .show()

[Gabriel Theodore]

The exception is thrown only when I use the show() method, here's the code:

public partial class DetailOS : ContentPage

    {

        SfPopupLayout Popup { get; set; }

        public string MotivoCancel { get; set; }

        Models.Manutencao.Pedido Pedido { get; set; }

        public DetailOS (Models.Manutencao.Pedido obj)

{

    InitializeComponent ();

            Pedido = obj;

            Popup = new SfPopupLayout();

            Popup.PopupView.AppearanceMode = AppearanceMode.TwoButton;

            Popup.PopupView.HeaderTitle = "Cancelar OS";

            Popup.PopupView.PopupStyle = new PopupStyle {

                AcceptButtonBackgroundColor = Color.FromHex("#009530"),

                AcceptButtonTextColor = Color.White,

                DeclineButtonBackgroundColor = Color.FromHex("#009530"),

                DeclineButtonTextColor = Color.White

            };

            Popup.PopupView.ContentTemplate = new DataTemplate(() => {

                var txt = new Entry { Placeholder = "Informe o motivo" };

                txt.BindingContext = this;

                txt.SetBinding(Entry.TextProperty, "MotivoCancel");

                return txt;

            });

            Popup.PopupView.DeclineButtonText = "VOLTAR";

            Popup.PopupView.AcceptButtonText = "CANCELAR";

            Popup.PopupView.AcceptCommand = new Command(Cancelar);

            BindingContext = new ViewModels.Manutencao.DetailOS () { Pedido = obj, Navigation = Navigation };

        }

        async void CancelarPopUp(object sender, EventArgs e)

        {

            try {

                if (Pedido.Status == "aberto") {

                    Popup.Show();

                } else {

                    await DisplayAlert("Acesso Restrito", "Essa OS não pode ser cancelada em seu atual estágio do processo", "OK");

                }

            } catch (Exception ex) {

                await DisplayAlert("Exceção : Contate o administrador", ex.Message, "dismiss");

            }

        }

    }

Didn't include the whole class here, just the methods that have some interaction with the Popup.

I made sure to include the xmlns:syncfusion="clr-namespace:Syncfusion.XForms.PopupLayout;assembly=Syncfusion.SfPopupLayout.XForms" in the xaml.

The stack trace is the following:

Since 16.4.0.52, the following code throws a NullReferenceException every time (see stack trace above). This worked fine in 16.4.0.48

private SfPopupLayout ShowPopup(View popupContent, int width, int height, View triggerView)

        {

            popupContent.HorizontalOptions = LayoutOptions.Center;

            popupContent.VerticalOptions = LayoutOptions.Center;

            var grid = new Grid()

            {

                Children = {popupContent},

                HorizontalOptions = LayoutOptions.FillAndExpand,

                VerticalOptions = LayoutOptions.FillAndExpand,

                BackgroundColor = Color.Black,

            };

            SfPopupLayout popup = new SfPopupLayout

            {

                Padding = 0,

                PopupView =

                {

                    WidthRequest = width,

                    HeightRequest = height,

                    ShowFooter = false,

                    ShowHeader = false,

                    AnimationMode = AnimationMode.None,

                    ContentTemplate = new DataTemplate(() => grid),

                    PopupStyle =

                    {

                        

                        CornerRadius = 2,

                        BorderThickness = 2,

                        BorderColor = Color.FromHex("#222222")

                    }

                }

            };

            popup.ShowRelativeToView(triggerView, RelativePosition.AlignTopLeft,width/2+15,-10);

            return popup;

        }

Turns out that this is related to the Xamarin Forms update. It crashes on 3.5.0 but works on 3.4.0

[Subburaj Pandian Veluchamy]

Hi Philippe, 

 

We regret for the inconvenience caused. 

 

We have already found and logged issue report for the mentioned issue “Throws error when setting template to the Popup Layout” in Xamarin.Forms update version 3.5. The issue occurs only when the project Xamarin.Forms update version above 3.5 and it is not occurring the previous updates.  

 

We will fix this issue and include the issue fix in our upcoming Volume 1 main release update and it will be expected to be available by mid of March 2019.  

 

You can now track the status of this issue and contact us for any further inquiries through this link,

With Xamarin 17.3.0.29, the popup is throwing a null exception error upon calling show.  It works in UWP but crashes in android / iOS builds.
