Please try to use following snippet code to execute method in Android Fragment.

MyFragment fragment = AndroidUtility.GetViewContext(this.Owner as IViewModel) as MyFragment;
            
if (fragment != null)
    fragment.DoSomethingInFragment();

Hope this helps.

Hello,

Sorry I didn't mention the Fragment class is inherited "Intersoft.Crosslight.Android.Fragment<customViewModel>". Error message "Cannot convert type 'customViewModel' to 'Intersoft.Crosslight.Android.Fragment<Prototype.Ems.ViewModels.customViewModel>' via a reference conversion, boxing conversion, unboxing conversion, wrapping conversion, or null type conversion" occurred when I use safe-cast statment on design time.

It's ok when I code below:

customViewModel context = Owner as customViewModel;

It seemed error when I code below on runtime:

customViewModel context = Owner as customViewModel;

Fragment<customViewModel> customFragment = context.Context as Fragment<customViewModel>;

I still can't grab the Fragment<customViewModel> to start my Android AnimationDrawable object, thank you very much.

Hi William,

I'm sure that you're already aware that each ViewModel represents a View, in this case, the Fragment is the View that consumes that your ViewModel.

So basically, in the ViewModel, you may call your custom service in the following fashion:

ICustomService customService = ServiceProvider.GetService<ICustomService>();if (customService != null){
customService.SetOwner(this);
customService.ExecuteCustomMethod();
}

So, in your custom Android service, you can obtain the Context in the following fashion:

Context context = this.DispatchContext(this.Owner);

This is the whole key to the process. In Android, the Context object can be of three types: Activity, Fragment, or Global Application Context. Since you've associated the ViewModel to the Fragment, you've actually obtained the Fragment in the Context object, so you can easily safe-cast it to execute your public method in the Fragment.

MyFragment fragment = context as MyFragment;
if (fragment != null)
{
fragment.ExecuteMyPublicMethod();
}

Hope this helps.
