Hi David,

Thanks for contacting Syncfusion support,

 

Query 1 : “NullReference Exception thrown in Xamarin forms Android ” 

We could not able to reproduce the reported issue “NullReferenceException” thrown while open the PopupView in SfPopupLayout version(16.3.0.21) and Xamarin Forms version (3.4.0.1029999). We have generated the custom assemblies with SfPopupLayout v16.3.0.21 and attached it in the below location. Please test your application with this assembly and let us know if your issue is resolved. 

Custom Assemblies Link :  

https://www.syncfusion.com/downloads/support/directtrac/general/ze/CustomDll1229326678.zip 

 

These assemblies should replace the existing assemblies in the following location.    

            

{Syncfusion Installed location}\Essential Studio\16.3.0.21\Xamarin\lib\pcl\Syncfusion.SfPopupLayout.XForms.dll                                        

{Syncfusion Installed location}\Essential Studio\16.3.0.21\Xamarin\lib\android\Syncfusion. SfPopupLayout.XForms.dll                                     

{Syncfusion Installed location}\Essential Studio\16.3.0.21\Xamarin\lib\android\Syncfusion. SfPopupLayout.XForms.Android.dll                             

{Syncfusion Installed location}\Essential Studio\16.3.0.21\Xamarin\lib\iOS\Syncfusion. SfPopupLayout.XForms.dll                                     

{Syncfusion Installed location}\Essential Studio\16.3.0.21\Xamarin\lib\iOS\Syncfusion. SfPopupLayout.XForms.iOS.dll                             

{Syncfusion Installed location}\Essential Studio\16.3.0.21\Xamarin\lib\uwp\Syncfusion. SfPopupLayout.XForms.dll                                     

{Syncfusion Installed location}\Essential Studio\16.3.0.21\Xamarin\lib\uwp\Syncfusion. SfPopupLayout.XForms.UWP.dll                              

  

Please follow the below instructions to refer the custom assemblies in you project. If you are using Nuget package, then you will need to uninstall the SfPopupLayout nuget package and refer the custom assemblies. Kindly refer the following Knowledge base (KB) for the same,  

  

https://www.syncfusion.com/kb/8279/how-to-apply-the-custom-assemblies-when-configured-the-project-with-syncfusion-nuget-packages 

   

You will also need to clear the cache to successfully apply the custom assemblies before deploying the project. Kindly refer the KB below to clear the cache,  

  

https://www.syncfusion.com/kb/6987/how-to-clear-nuget-cache 

Note : The attached custom assemblies with that fix is not an exact fix, it is for testing purposes only. If your still facing same issue ? please attach the OutPut log for that custom assemblies. 

Query 2 : Same code working perfectly fine on iOs devices.

Please let us know which code is not working in android devices and working in iOS devices.

Karthik Raja
