Automationid may only be set one time.

[Pete Vickers]

Hi,

I have a navigation drawer with a list of PDF files.

When I select an item from the list view, I do pdfViewerControl.Unload(); and then reload the new one with

fileStream = typeof(App).GetTypeInfo().Assembly.GetManifestResourceStream(string.Format("MyRestaurant.Assets.{0}",menuname));

//Load the PDF

pdfViewerControl.LoadDocument(fileStream);

The first time this happens it loads the PDF file with no problem. Choose another from the menu and I get the error message - any ideas?

Thanks

Pete

Hi Syncfusion team,

I have the same problem as Pete and his solution of hiding the toolbar works for me. It means that I cannot use the features provided in the toolbar. For example, I cannot have the user to save or search through the document.

Reproducing this is fairly easy:

1. have a button and a pdfviewer on a page. Set the istoolbarivisible property of the pdfviewer to true.
2. On the button's click event, load the pdfviewer pdf document.
3. Once the document is loaded. click the button again. The error will popup.

Thanks

Hi Santosh, we suspect the reported issue is replicate only with specific device or when the accessibility mode is enabled. Could you try after disabling the accessibility mode?. However, the "System.InvalidOperationException: AutomationId may only be set one time." issue is related to Xamarin.Forms and already the same issue logged in below forum. 

https://github.com/xamarin/Xamarin.Forms/issues/6157
 

We already have feedback for your issue. You can track the status of reported bug from below feedback link,

Hi Manoj,

The accessibility mode is already switched off on my device. 

it doesn't help even if I enable it and disable it again. Disabling accessibility may be a workaround but not the solution. 

It is not possible to have all the users to disable accessibility on their devices. The bug report link says that a patch would be released in November 2021. Was it released? I'm using version 20.4.0.51.

Let me know if there is any other way to overcome this until it is fixed permanently. I would need the save functionality from the toolbar more than the other.

Thanks

Hi Santosh, we have further analyzed and confirmed that the issue is related to Xamarin.Forms side by December 2021. We have found that the same issue is logged in the github,

Could you try using a custom toolbar instead of the built-in toolbar? The documentation for the custom toolbar is provided in the link,
