Hello !|

I am trying to use rotator in normal layout, but I am getting an odd error saying " NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

" while I am setting the datasource !

here is a snippet of my code

List<Com.Syncfusion.Rotator.SfRotatorItem> images = new List<Com.Syncfusion.Rotator.SfRotatorItem>();

List<int> imageID = new List<int>();

imageID.Add(Resource.Drawable.icon);

Context context = this;

Com.Syncfusion.Rotator.SfRotatorItem item;

ImageView image;

for (int i = 0; i < imageID.Count; i++)

{

item = new Com.Syncfusion.Rotator.SfRotatorItem(context);

image = new ImageView(context);

image.SetImageResource(imageID[i]);

item.Content = image;

images.Add(item);

}

Com.Syncfusion.Rotator.SfRotator rotator = FindViewById<Com.Syncfusion.Rotator.SfRotator> (Resource.Id.imageRotator);

Hi Mark Eric,

Thanks for using Syncfusion products,

We have analyzed your query and we would like to inform you that NullReferenceException occurs due to the control instance passing to SetContentView method.

If you initialize the control in axml page, then we don’t need to pass the view to SetContentView method. You can resolve this problem by passing the axml page resource layout id itself as per the below code snippet.

Code snippet:

C#:

SetContentView(Resource.Layout.activity_main);

SfRotator rotator = FindViewById<SfRotator>(Resource.Id.sfRotator1);

List<SfRotatorItem> rotatorItems = new List<SfRotatorItem>();

List<int> images = new List<int>();

images.Add(Resource.Drawable.movie1);

images.Add(Resource.Drawable.movie2);

images.Add(Resource.Drawable.movie3);

for (int i = 0; i < images.Count; i++)

{

SfRotatorItem sfRotatorItem = new SfRotatorItem(this);

ImageView imageView = new ImageView(this);

imageView.SetImageResource(images[i]);

sfRotatorItem.Content = imageView;

rotatorItems.Add(sfRotatorItem);

}

rotator.DataSource = rotatorItems;

We have created sample for your requirement. Please download the sample from below location.
