Xamarin Form View Model can trigger the onTextChange Event for Searchbar but there is no Event handler for OnCancelButtonClicked.
What I want:
An Event should be Triggered whenever Cancel/Close Button is clicked as below.
You can get Searchbar CloseButton event in SearchBar custom render, but I think it is not useful for your goal.
I suggest you can click search icon to refresh data source. I don one sample using Searchbar and ListView, you can take a look:
[assembly: ExportRenderer(typeof(SearchBar), typeof(CustomSearchBarRenderer))]
namespace FormsSample.Droid
{
public class CustomSearchBarRenderer: SearchBarRenderer
{
public CustomSearchBarRenderer(Context context):base(context)
{
}
protected override void OnElementChanged(ElementChangedEventArgs<SearchBar> e)
{
base.OnElementChanged(e);
if (Control != null)
{
var searchView = Control;
searchView.Iconified = true;
searchView.SetIconifiedByDefault(false);
int searchCloseButtonId = Context.Resources.GetIdentifier("android:id/search_close_btn", null, null);
// search close button icon, you can add event for closeIcon.click.
var closeIcon = searchView.FindViewById(searchCloseButtonId);
int searchViewSearchButtonId = Control.Resources.GetIdentifier("android:id/search_mag_icon", null, null);
var searchIcon = searchView.FindViewById(searchViewSearchButtonId);
searchIcon.Click += SearchIcon_Click;
}
}
private void SearchIcon_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Element.OnSearchButtonPressed();
}
}
}
<StackLayout>
<SearchBar
x:Name="searchBar"
HorizontalOptions="Fill"
Placeholder="Search fruits..."
SearchButtonPressed="OnSearchButtonPressed"
VerticalOptions="CenterAndExpand" />
<Label
HorizontalOptions="Fill"
Text="Enter a search term and press enter or click the magnifying glass to perform a search."
VerticalOptions="CenterAndExpand" />
<ListView
x:Name="searchResults"
HorizontalOptions="Fill"
VerticalOptions="CenterAndExpand" />
</StackLayout>
public partial class Page23 : ContentPage
{
public Page23()
{
InitializeComponent();
searchResults.ItemsSource = DataService.Fruits;
}
private void OnSearchButtonPressed(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if(string.IsNullOrEmpty(searchBar.Text))
{
searchResults.ItemsSource = DataService.Fruits;
}
else
{
searchResults.ItemsSource = DataService.GetSearchResults(searchBar.Text);
}
}
}
You can click search closebutton to move text in SearchBar firstly, then click SearchButton to refresh data for listView.
