I need to get the currentItem from the controls inside the itemTemplate

[Victor Rafael Bocanegra Arias]

Good morning, I have an SfListView with controls defined for each record within ItemTemplate and I would like to be able to obtain the currentItem when each control is accessed within the template, for possible validations. This is possible?

public class Behavior : Behavior<SfListView> 

{ 

    SfListView Listview; 

    protected override void OnAttachedTo(SfListView bindable) 

    { 

       Listview = bindable; 

       Listview.ItemTapped += Listview_ItemTapped; 

 

       base.OnAttachedTo(bindable); 

    } 

         

    private void Listview_ItemTapped(object sender, Syncfusion.ListView.XForms.ItemTappedEventArgs e) 

    { 

       var listview = sender as SfListView; 

       var currentItem = listview.CurrentItem as BookInfo; 

       if (currentItem == null) 

          return; 

       App.Current.MainPage.DisplayAlert("Message", "CurrentItem of listview: " + currentItem.BookName, "Ok"); 

    } 

}

Thank you for the prompt response, it does work, but it has a problem. Within the ItemTemplate of the SfListView I have three controls: CheckBox, Entry and SfNumericTextBox, when I tap on one of them, the event does not trigger me. This is normal? Any chance so that when you tap the control it extends to its predecessor?

Hi Victor, 

 

We would like to inform that when you tap interactable control loaded inside the ItemTemplate, touch will pass only to the respective child control. Here, touch will pass to parent only when tapped on any layouts other than controls inside the ItemTemplate. This is the actual behavior.  

 

Meanwhile, we suggest you to hook to the respected control’s tap/any interaction event in order to get the BindingContext (Model class) of that control through which you can get the binded model data.

Hi Victor,  

 

We have prepared the sample in which we have displayed a previous item’s binding context value for Entry and Button like below. We have attached the tested sample for your reference, please find the sample from below. 

 

Sample: https://www.syncfusion.com/downloads/support/directtrac/general/ze/GettingStarted1451269679  

 

 

public partial class MainPage : ContentPage 

{ 

        BookInfo previousBtnItem=null, previousEntryItem=null,currentEntryItem,currentButtonItem; 

        public MainPage() 

        { 

            InitializeComponent(); 

        } 

 

        private void Entry_Focused(object sender, FocusEventArgs e) 

        { 

            var bcEntry = (sender as Entry).BindingContext as BookInfo; 

 

            currentEntryItem = bcEntry; 

 

            if (previousEntryItem!=null) 

            { 

                DisplayAlert("Message", "Previous entry item " + previousEntryItem.BookName, "Ok"); 

 

            } 

             previousEntryItem= currentEntryItem; 

 

        } 

 

        private void Button_Clicked(object sender, EventArgs e) 

        { 

            var bcButton = (sender as Button).BindingContext as BookInfo; 

            currentButtonItem = bcButton; 

 

            if (previousBtnItem != null) 

            { 

                DisplayAlert("Message", "Previous entry item " + previousBtnItem.BookName, "Ok"); 

 

            } 

            previousBtnItem= currentButtonItem; 

 

        } 

}
