Please go through the link for snapshot

You are not providing a MvxDropDownItemTemplate:
local:MvxDropDownItemTemplate="#layout/template"
nor a MvxItemTemplate:
local:MvxItemTemplate="#layout/template"
The difference between these two are, that the Drop Down Item Template is what is show when the spinner is expanded. While the Item Template will be the first item shown when it is collapsed. You probably need to provide them both if you do not wish to use the default templates which just call ToString() on the ViewModel bound to the item.

Button doesn't show on top of Maps Activity

I'm trying to add a button on top of Map Activity, in the layout.
I just want to show a button over the map layout, but I tried different layouts, Constraint, Relative... and nothing works. I also tried to put the map fragment in XML before and after the button inside a relative layout, and yet it did nothing, it shows only the map.
I resized the map and even removed the map layout, and still the map shows in full screen.

You don't need to say the orientation for constraintLayout. Just make your fragment sizes android:layout_width="match_parent" and
android:layout_height="match_parent" , add button and constraint it to your fragment:

WebView over ImageView Android

I have read multiple posts for solutions on how to display a WebView over an ImageView. Here is what I tried last and it still doesn't work:
mPhotoWebView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient());
mPhotoWebView.setBackgroundColor(0x00000000);
xml:
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="300dp" >
<com.example.android.views.MyImageView
android:id="#+id/photoImageView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
<WebView
android:id="#+id/photoWebView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:scrollbarStyle="insideOverlay"
android:scrollbars="none" />
html style:
body
{
background:transparent;
background-color: rgba(10,10,10,0.5);
}
This code needs to run on 4.2.2. What I am trying to accomplish, is the webview has animation code done in html5 and the imageView is a background image that the animations need to show over.
Any ideas?
I must have missed this combination before. My final solution, that works is:
Do not set background color to webView in the code.
body
{
background:transparent;
overflow: hidden;
background-color: rgba(10,10,10,0.5);
}
xml:
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="300dp" >
<com.accuweather.android.views.MyImageView
android:id="#+id/photoImageView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
<WebView
android:id="#+id/photoWebView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#android:color/transparent"
android:layerType="software"
android:scrollbarStyle="insideOverlay"
android:scrollbars="none" />
Key here is the software layerType. I am using a fragment of which one activity handles many, so I couldn't do this in the manifest. Therefore I did so in the xml.

How to automatically play video in listview on android app

I want to play video in listview from online server as like VINE app. And plays only one video at a time.But videoview cann't show in listview. I can view all others like text, links.

MvxListViews with checkboxes inside the ItemsSource are not selectable

I have an MvxListView that I'm showing some recipe cards in. When the user clicks a card they should be taken to a detail screen. The problem I'm running into is that when there is a CheckBox (bound or unbound) in the cell, the entire cell ignores the click event.
My MvxListView is created with:
<MvxListView
android:layout_margin="10dp"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
local:MvxBind="ItemsSource Recipes; ItemClick ShowRecipeDetailCommand"
local:MvxItemTemplate="#layout/use_recipe_list_item"
android:divider="#android:color/transparent"
android:dividerHeight="10dp" />
The List item is created with:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:local="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:background="#color/use_detail_recipe_background"
android:padding="10dp">
<TextView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Title"
android:id="#+id/tvTitle"
android:textSize="24sp"
local:MvxBind="Text Title"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_toLeftOf="#+id/cbFavorite"
android:textColor="#color/use_detail_recipe_title_text" />
<!-- <CheckBox
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/cbFavorite"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:checked="false"
android:layout_weight="0" />-->
<View
android:id="#+id/vDivider1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="2dp"
android:background="#000000"
android:layout_below="#+id/tvTitle" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Content"
android:id="#+id/tvContent"
android:singleLine="false"
android:layout_below="#+id/vDivider1"
local:MvxBind="Text Content"
android:textColor="#color/use_detail_recipe_content_text"
android:maxLines="4"/>
</RelativeLayout>
If the checkbox isn't commented out, this works. How can I work around this? Would it be possible to add a command to the click on my base RelativeLayout in the item?
Thanks for the tip Stuart. This is indeed not a MvvmCross issue but rather a general Android issue.
The solution was to add the following to each clickable item:
android:focusable="false"
android:focusableInTouchMode="false"

List .
Now upon clicking one of the listitem I want to call new viewModel which also populate another List.And corresponding MvxListView will have a ItemTemplate as follows
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:local="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/KittensView.Droid"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"

In this axml layout,I want to show one listItem at a time and upon clicking on above button,a next listItem Should replace existing listItem until all the data in a corresponding List is gets displayed on UI.
How can I achieve this?PLEASE help me......
Thanks in advance for any helpful suggestions.
You can create properties for: a list of your objects (DataItem), an instance of your object and index
private int _index = 0;
private List<DataItem> _dataitems;
private DataItem _dataItem;
public DataItem DataItem {
get { return _dataItem; }
set
{
DataItem = value;
RaiseOnProperty(()=>DataItem);
}
public IMvxCommand ShowNextItemCommand
{
get
{
return new MvxCommand(()=> {
_index++;
DataItem = _dataitems.ElementAt[_index]
});
}
}
In your AXML, you can do this :
<?xml ... />
<LinearLayout ...
<TextView ...
local:MvxBind="Text Name1" />
<TextView ...
local:MvxBind="Text Name2" />
<Button ...
android:text="Next"
local:MvxBind="Click ShowNextItemCommand" />
</LinearLayout>
I think it works.
