I'm looking to create styles (and eventually some of the pages) using C# code behind. Was looking at the write up on https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/design/style/xaml-resource-dictionary and when I duplicate that code it gives me an error that LaunchActivatedEventArgs is unknown.
My starting App.xaml.cs file:
using System;
using Xamarin.Forms;
using Xamarin.Forms.Xaml;
namespace FieldDataTemplateSelectorSample
{
sealed partial class App : Application
{
public App()
{
InitializeComponent();
MainPage = new MainPage();
}
protected override void OnStart()
{
}
protected override void OnSleep()
{
}
protected override void OnResume()
{
}
protected override void OnLaunched(LaunchActivatedEventArgs e)
{
// add styles here
}
}
}
It doesn't know the type or namespace for LaunchActivatedEventArgs. If I look at the list of potential fixes, it suggests that I add a using for Windows.ApplicationModel.Activation to the list of usings. If I do that, then it complains about OnLaunched not having a suitable method to override. If I take out the override, and change the signature to
using System;
using Windows.ApplicationModel.Activation;
using Xamarin.Forms;
using Xamarin.Forms.Xaml;
using FieldDataTemplateSelectorSample.AppStyles;
namespace FieldDataTemplateSelectorSample
{
public partial class App : Application
{
public App()
{
InitializeComponent();
MainPage = new MainPage();
}
protected override void OnStart()
{
}
protected override void OnSleep()
{
}
protected override void OnResume()
{
}
protected void OnLaunched(LaunchActivatedEventArgs e)
{
Resources = InitStyles.GetAppStyles();
}
}
}
The application compiles but the OnLaunched method never gets hit if I put a break point in there. What am I missing? Right now I'm using a UWP project for getting my feet wet, and eventually will add android and ios.
Thanks
