SfBackdropPage Error When Used With Shell

[Dean Martin]

I'm trying to use SfBackdropPage with Xamarin Shell.  Please try the Android version of the attached project and select the 'About' tab to reproduce the error which is:

"System.NullReferenceException: 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object.'"

Thank you!

Hi Dean, 

  

Greetings from Syncfusion. 

  

We are able to reproduce the reported issue and we will fix this issue internally. However, we suggest you to add the below code snippets in OnAppearing method to resolve this issue at application level. 

  

protected override void OnAppearing() 

{ 

    var navigationStack = Navigation.NavigationStack; 

    if (navigationStack.Count > 0 && navigationStack[navigationStack.Count - 1] != null) 

    { 

        base.OnAppearing(); 

    } 

} 

  

Please let us know if you need any further assistance. 

  

Regards, 

Divya Venkatesan

That workaround seems to fix the issue.  I'm not sure if it causes other problems though.  I've tried to put a SfAccordion on the backlayer and that causes error:

Java.Lang.NullPointerException: 'Attempt to read from field 'int android.view.ViewGroup$LayoutParams.width' on a null object reference'

You can duplicate this by selecting the second tab when running the attached sample project on Android.

Thanks,

Dean

Hi Dean,  

  

We have checked the reported query from our side. We suspect you are reporting the crash in below bug report,  

  

Bug : https://github.com/xamarin/Xamarin.Forms/issues/8801  

  

If yes, we would like to inform that above is the framework issue in latest Xamarin Version while loading Label directly inside AccordionItem’s Header/Content and you can follow below bug for further updates from Xamarin team. Meanwhile, we suggest that you can overcome the reported issue in sample by loading Label inside Grid.

<Syncfusion:SfAccordion>      <Syncfusion:SfAccordion.Items>          <Syncfusion:AccordionItem>             <Syncfusion:AccordionItem.Header>                 <Label Text=”Category”/>             </Syncfusion:AccordionItem.Header>               <Syncfusion:AccordionItem.Content>                 <Label Text=”Hamburger”/>             </Syncfusion:AccordionItem.Content>          </Syncfusion:AccordionItem>       </Syncfusion:SfAccordion.Items>  <Syncfusion:SfAccordion>
