Hi guys.We discuss how to make and use a xamarin android dialogfragment with  a simple listview.You click a button inside your mainactivity and this displays a dialog fragment.Inside the dialogfragment we have as simple listview.

SECTION 1 : Our TVShowFragment class

  • Subclasses Android.App.DialogFragment
  • We inflate our fragment layout here.
  • We also populate our listview here and handle its itemclicks
using System;

using Android.App;
using Android.OS;
using Android.Views;
using Android.Widget;

namespace DialogFrag
{
    class TVshowFragment : DialogFragment
    {
        private ListView lv;
        private String[] tvshows = { "BlackList", "Crisis", "Blindspot", "Breaking Bad", "Gotham", "Banshee" };
        private ArrayAdapter adapter;

        public override View OnCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState)
        {
            View v = inflater.Inflate(Resource.Layout.fraglayout, container, false);

            //SET TITLE FOR DIALOG
            this.Dialog.SetTitle("TV Shows");

            lv = v.FindViewById<ListView>(Resource.Id.lv);

            //ADAPTER
            adapter=new ArrayAdapter(this.Activity,Android.Resource.Layout.SimpleListItem1,tvshows);
            lv.Adapter = adapter;

            //ITEM CLICKS
            lv.ItemClick += lv_ItemClick;

            return v;
        }

        void lv_ItemClick(object sender, AdapterView.ItemClickEventArgs e)
        {
            Toast.MakeText(this.Activity,tvshows[e.Position],ToastLength.Short).Show();
        }
    }
}

SECTION 2 : Our MainActivity

  • Launcher activity
  • We initialize our fragmentManager and pass it to our Fragment’s show() method
  • Has a button that when clicked we show simple listview
using System;
using Android.App;
using Android.Widget;
using Android.OS;

namespace DialogFrag
{
    [Activity(Label = "DialogFrag", MainLauncher = true, Icon = "@drawable/icon")]
    public class MainActivity : Activity
    {
        private FragmentManager fm;
        private TVshowFragment tv;

        protected override void OnCreate(Bundle bundle)
        {
            base.OnCreate(bundle);

            // Set our view from the "main" layout resource
            SetContentView(Resource.Layout.Main);

            // Get our button from the layout resource,
            // and attach an event to it
            Button button = FindViewById<Button>(Resource.Id.MyButton);

            button.Click += button_Click;

            fm = this.FragmentManager;
            tv=new TVshowFragment();

        }

        void button_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            //SHOW DIALOG FRAGMENT
            tv.Show(fm, "TV_tag");
        }

    }
}

 SECTION 3 : Our Layouts

Our Main.axml

  • Contains our button to be clicked
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:background="#2f9bc1">
    <Button
        android:id="@+id/MyButton"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:background="#33363c"
        android:text="Show" />
</LinearLayout>

Our Fragment Layout

  • Defines the outlook of our dialogfragment
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:minWidth="25px"
    android:minHeight="25px">
    <ListView
        android:minWidth="25px"
        android:minHeight="25px"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:id="@+id/lv" />
</LinearLayout>

Cheers.
