Apologize for any inconvenience this problem may have caused you.

This problem has been forwarded to Crosslight development team to be investigated further. The report is filed under CROS-636. I will keep this thread updated with any news I heard from the team regarding CROS-636.

Thank you and have a nice day.

Hello Yudi,

when will the above CROS-636 be fixed? Crosslight 3 Update 2?

Thanks,

Thomas

The hotfix for CROS-636 is arranged to be available on Crosslight 3 Update 2 which is expected to be arrived on late January 2015.
I will keep you updated when the nightly build is ready to be evaluated.

Hello Yudi,

I haven't seen CROS-636 on the fix list of Crosslight 3 Update 2 (Crosslight3_0_5000_185). What is the status of this bug?

Thanks

Thomas

The latest status of CROS-636 has been resolved. I have tested the reported problem using Crosslight 3 Update 2 in my local end and found that it is no longer persist. The fix is performed in the sample project and not in the assembly of Crosslight.

Please obtain the updated MyInventory sample from Master branch of Crosslight sample repository and let us know if you have different result.

Hello Yudi,

the sample almost works like intended. Please, try the following: go to Inventories.xml (Core) and set <Sold>1</Sold> and add a <SoldDate>4/10/2012</SoldDate> for one item. I expected that item to be sold which means it should appear with a strikethrough in the list. Instead there is a runtime error at startup and the item is not marked as sold with a strikethrough text. Tested on Android device.

Besides the error. I could not figure out what steps it needs to make the strikethrough work. Could you please explain the necessary steps.

Thanks,
Thomas

Hello Thomas,

Sorry, actually this is mistyping from our own end, you can see it at line 114 and line 119 inside ModelServices/ItemRepository.cs.

//line 114

IsSold = ParseBoolean(x.Element("IsSold")),

//line 119

item.SoldDate = DateTime.Parse(x.Element("SoldDate").Value,CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

The parser actually use <IsSold> and <SoldDate> name rather than <Sold> and <SellDate>, one thing to note after you change the inventories.xml that IsSold have bool.parse and can only accept On/Off, True/False, and Yes/No if you put 1 or 0 it will send unhandled exceptions. 

Thank you very much for your discovery, we already fixed the samples. You can redownload the samples from our git server and please tell us if the problem still persist.

Best Regards,

Arief

Hello Arief,

Thank you for updating the sample. I will test this by the end of the week.

Again, the question: Could be please describe shortly what it takes to make the strikethrough of list item texts work? What is the trick? Is it the TextStyleConverter, is it the BindingProvider, do I have to make something special in the Android project?

A short explanation would be very helpfull.

Thanks,
Thomas

Hello Thomas

Yes you are right, it was from TextLabelStyleConverter() ( which you put inside binding providers) as you can see from file Core/Converters/TextLabelStyleConverters.cs we only need to write:

StyleAttributes style = new StyleAttributes();
style.Strikethrough = true;

Thank to our crosslight library we only need to write that code, normally you need to use PaintFlag inside android Activity but if we want to set strikethrough to multiple layout it is better if we use this method, thats the reason why there are Converters folder.

Hope that answer your question :)

Best Regards,
Arief

Hello Arief,

I downloaded the newest version of the samples and unfortunately the Inventories.xml file is still wrong. There are still <Sold> and <SellDate> tags instead of <IsSold> and <SoldDate>. Or the repository is still wrong. Just as you like. Nevertheless because of your explanation I could fix this and then the sample works as intended.

Another question regarding the converter. I changed the ForegroundColor of the StyleAttributes to green. This works well. I also added the BackgroundColor property of the StyleAttributes and set it to red. On Android nothing happens. There is no red background. Why?

Thanks,

Thomas
