xamarin forms mvvm Missing default constructor for

Question

I have create a MessageCenterService interface

public interface IDialogService
{
    Task Toasting(string title);
}

public class DialogService : IDialogService
{
    public async Task Toasting(string title)
    {
        using (var Dialog = UserDialogs.Instance.Toast(title, null))    
        {
            await Task.Delay(1000);
        }
    }
}   

Now I'm trying dependency inject but:

public class LoginViewModel : BaseViewModel
{
    private IDialogService _dialogService;

    public ICommand LoginCommand { get; set; }

    public LoginViewModel(IDialogService dialogService)
    {
        _dialogService = dialogService;
        LoginCommand = new Command(Login);  
    }
}   

Erro => Missing default constructor for "..LoginViewModel"

LoginPage.xaml

  <ContentPage.BindingContext>
        <viewModels:LoginViewModel/>
  </ContentPage.BindingContext>

But if I put:

public LoginViewModel(){}

public LoginViewModel(IDialogService dialogService) //:Base() :this
{
    _dialogService = dialogService;
    ...
}

Error disappear but IDialogService never is instantiate _dialogService always null

LoginPage.xaml.cs changes not working too..

public LoginPage()
{
    InitializeComponent();
}

public LoginPage(IDialogService dialogService): base()
{
    InitializeComponent();
}

I am missing something? Thanks in advance

Try to use the DependencyService or 3rd party libraries like TinyIOC. Here is my sample code using the DependencyService. You can register your service using DependencyService.Register<>() and simply invoke it using DependencyService.Get<>();

App.xaml.cs

public App()
{
   ...
   DependencyService.Register<DialogService>();
   ...
}

LoginPage.xaml.cs

LoginPage()
{
   InitializeComponent();
   BindingContext = new LoginViewModel();
}

LoginViewModel.cs

private IDialogService _dialogService;

public LoginViewModel()
{
   ...
   _dialogService = DependencyService.Get<DialogService>();;
   ...
}
