xamarin stacklayout child removes itself


I have a simple Stacklayout that shows Buttons. I want to be able to let children remove itself from the stacklayout.

this project is just for testing purposes, so every button is linked to the same event-handler.

private void Button_Pressed_1(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    stack.Children.RemoveAt(stack.Children.Count - 1);
}

everything's fine until one button removes itself, then the following unsupported error appears:

Unhandled Exception:

System.NotSupportedException: Unable to activate instance of type Xamarin.Forms.Platform.Android.AppCompat.ButtonRenderer from native handle 0xbfb79bfc (key_handle 0x3e59524).

Has anyone an idea how to accomplish this? Since it's a nonSupportedException a simple try & catch didn't do the job

EDIT: I got it working, i registered the eventhandler to the Pressed-Event. Appearently that was the problem, when using the Clicke-Event everything works just fine.


Solution

  • What 's version of Xamarin which you are using? I tried with Xamarin.Form 3.0.0.561731 and it worked well. Please check my code as bellow:

    Xaml page:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
    <ContentPage xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms"
                 xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
                 xmlns:local="clr-namespace:RemoveItSelf"
                 x:Class="RemoveItSelf.MainPage">
    
        <StackLayout x:Name="stack">
            <!-- Place new controls here -->
            <Label Text="Welcome to Xamarin.Forms!" 
               HorizontalOptions="Center"
               VerticalOptions="CenterAndExpand" />
            <Label Text="Welcome to Xamarin.Forms!" 
                   HorizontalOptions="Center"
                   VerticalOptions="CenterAndExpand" />
            <Button Text="Remove" Clicked="PressMeButton_Clicked"></Button>
        </StackLayout>
    
    </ContentPage>
    

    Xaml.cs page:

    namespace RemoveItSelf
    {
        public partial class MainPage : ContentPage
        {
            public MainPage()
            {
                InitializeComponent();
            }
    
            private void PressMeButton_Clicked(object sender, EventArgs e)
            {
                //stack.Children.RemoveAt(0);
                stack.Children.RemoveAt(stack.Children.Count - 1);
            }
        }
    }
