I'm trying to bind data (OneWay mode), recieved over Bluetooth LE, with TextBlock, but I can not make it work.
I have one Mainpage that contains another secondary Page. This secondary Page have TextBlock used as target inside Grid's column:
<Grid x:Name="DataPanel"
RelativePanel.Below="ControlPanel"
RelativePanel.AlignLeftWithPanel="True"
RelativePanel.AlignRightWithPanel="True">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Rectangle x:Name="ax_down0" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" Fill="Transparent" Grid.Column="0" />
<StackPanel Orientation="Vertical" Margin="10" Grid.Column="0" HorizontalAlignment="Center"
DataContext="">
<TextBlock Text="Accelerometr X" TextAlignment="Center" FontWeight="Bold"/>
<TextBlock Name="ADataX" Text="{x:Bind Path=SData.Acceleration_x, Mode=OneWay}" TextAlignment="Center"/>
</StackPanel>
<Rectangle x:Name="ax_up0" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" Fill="Transparent" Grid.Column="0"/>
.
.
.
</Grid>
Class used as source looks like this:
public class SensorData : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged = delegate { };
private UInt16 acceleration_x;
public UInt16 Acceleration_x
{
get
{
return acceleration_x;
}
set
{
acceleration_x = value;
OnPropertyChanged("Acceleration_x");
}
}
.
.
.
public SensorData()
{
Acceleration_x = 0;
Acceleration_y = 0;
Acceleration_z = 0;
}
public void OnPropertyChanged([CallerMemberName] string propertyName = null)
{
// Raise the PropertyChanged event, passing the name of the property whose value has changed.
this.PropertyChanged(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(propertyName));
}
}
Next, in C# file, for secondary Page, is registred handler that recieves notifications from Bluetooth device and stores them into SData property (Property Accel_x has type GattCharacteristic and is defined in MainPage, whose instance is accessible over rootPage variable)
public sealed partial class Page2 : Page
{
private MainPage rootPage;
public SensorData SData { get; set; }
protected async override void OnNavigatedTo(NavigationEventArgs e)
{
rootPage.Accel_x.ValueChanged += delegate (GattCharacteristic sender, GattValueChangedEventArgs args)
{
var reader = DataReader.FromBuffer(args.CharacteristicValue);
SData.Acceleration_x = reader.ReadByte();
};
}
Even though data in SData are changed, the UI does not update. Does anyone have any idea why? I have already spend many hours trying to solve it.
But, when SData are updated by PointerPressed event handler, triggred by rectangle element it works ok.
ax_up0.PointerPressed += new PointerEventHandler(delegate (object sender, PointerRoutedEventArgs e)
{
e.Handled = true;
ax_down0.Fill = new SolidColorBrush(Windows.UI.Colors.DimGray);
UInt16 i = SData.Acceleration_x;
i++;
SData.Acceleration_x = i;
});
Any idea why updatig by one hadler works and by the other not? Can this be caused by defining Accel_x inside different page then the target?
So, finaly I figured it out. After adding Dispatcher into ValueChanged handler it started to work:
rootPage.Accel_x.ValueChanged += async delegate (GattCharacteristic sender, GattValueChangedEventArgs args)
{
await Dispatcher.RunAsync(Windows.UI.Core.CoreDispatcherPriority.Normal, () => {
var reader = DataReader.FromBuffer(args.CharacteristicValue);
SData.Acceleration_x = reader.ReadByte();
});
};
