Hello Domingo,

While it's possible for the development team to implement this behavior as a built-in feature (through an option), you can also implement this behavior directly in your app.

Most of our components are designed with solid architecture and interfaces which expose a number of methods that you can call in the platform-specific view context. Since this task relates to the iOS specific view, you can easily achieve this behavior by getting the instance of the IMasterDetailViewController from the table view controller in question, and then call the SetDetailViewController method in the ViewDidDisappear method override.

Crosslight also comes with a lot of convenience APIs which might not be easily discovered. For instance, you can use GetParentViewController(parentType) and pass in an interface type to get the instance of the parent view controller with the particular type.

Here's the code example, referring to the MyInventory_MasterDetail sample.

 
  
        private IMasterDetailViewController _masterDetailController = null;

        protected override void InitializeView()        {
            base.InitializeView();

            // gets the master detail instance that host this view controller
            _masterDetailController = this.GetParentViewController(typeof(IMasterDetailViewController)) as IMasterDetailViewController;
        }

        public override void ViewDidDisappear(bool animated)
        {
            base.ViewDidDisappear(animated);

            // set the detail view controller with animation
            _masterDetailController.SetDetailViewController(new ItemDetailViewController(), true);
        }
 

With the code above applied, when you go back from the items list to category, notice the detail view is now nicelyanimating back to "No items selected".

Hope this helps,
Jimmy

Yes, currently this is how it's implemented.

Hi Jimmy,

I'm discussing this with our developer, as far as i know Android state management is rather different so method must be rather different. I will get back to this if i have new information regarding this issues.

Hi Jimmy,

I will inform feature request for developer under CROS-861, as this is not the default android behaviour.
Please note that we will be planned this feature after version 4 release.

Best Regards,
Arief
