Android - List not binding to RecyclerView MvvmCross


I am fairly new to android and I am trying to bind a List I have in my ViewModel to a RecyclerView in my UI. I am using Xamarin and MvvmCross. I have the RecyclerView setup like this:

<android.support.design.widget.NavigationView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="@+id/navigation_view"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="start"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
android:theme="@style/Theme.AppCompat.Light">


<MvvmCross.Droid.Support.V7.RecyclerView.MvxRecyclerView
    android:id="@+id/navigation_recycler_view"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:clickable="true"
    app:MvxItemTemplate="@layout/menu_item"
    app:MvxBind="ItemsSource MyItems"/>

</LinearLayout>

Here's my menu item:

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="https://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:orientation="horizontal"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="48dp" >

   <TextView
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:textSize="13sp"
        app:MvxBind="Text Title" />

</LinearLayout>

and lastly, my VM List is something like this:

 MyItems = new List<NavItem>
 {
       new NavItem { Title = "Option1" }
       new NavItem { Title = "Option2" }
 };

EDIT:

Here where I set the properties:

List<NavItem> _myItems;
    public List<NavItem> MyItems
    {
        get => _myItems;
        set => SetProperty(ref _myItems, value);
    }

and MyItem:

public string Title { get; set; }

I'm pretty sure it's setup properly; however, for some reason, it won't populate my recycler view. Did I miss something? any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks!


Solution

  • Figured it out! I had xmlns:app="https: instead of xmlns:app="http:
