PCL Storage (1)

In the sample programs of ListView (1) and (2), new book titles can be added to the book list, so I naturally wanted to build the new function to save the book list.

 I found that there are some ways to save data processed in App.

  • Store data in Cloud, such as Azure and OneDrive
  • Link with Web service
  • Use local SQLite database
  • Use the file system plugin, PCL Storage
  • Dictionary Properties(?)
Cloud or Web service is the best choice to save various type of data, but it will be necessary to save data in device. So, firstly, I started to study PCL Storage.

MainPage.xaml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<TabbedPage xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms" 
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml" 
        xmlns:local="clr-namespace:PCLStrg;assembly=PCLStrg" 
        x:Class="PCLStrg.MainPage">

    <!-- 1st tabbed page: Folder I/O -->
    <local:FolderIO />

    <!-- 2nd tabbed page: File I/O -->
    <local:FileIO />

</TabbedPage>
(The source code is also here.)
This sample App is composed of two tabbed pages, and processing example of folder and file I/O has been implemented to the pages respectively.

MainPage.xaml.cs
using Xamarin.Forms;

namespace PCLStrg
{
    public partial class MainPage : TabbedPage
    {
        public MainPage()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }
    }
}


App.xaml.cs
using Xamarin.Forms;

namespace PCLStrg
{
    public partial class App : Application
    {
        public App()
        {
            InitializeComponent();

            //MainPage = new MainPage();
            MainPage = new NavigationPage(new MainPage());
        }

        protected override void OnStart()
        {
            // Handle when your app starts
        }

        protected override void OnSleep()
        {
            // Handle when your app sleeps
        }

        protected override void OnResume()
        {
            // Handle when your app resumes
        }
    }
}


I explain how to build folder and file I/O below.

Get the current folder path, create new folders, check folders already exists, delete folders are implemented in this Folder I/O tabbed page. The results of the processing are displayed in the ListView set at the bottom of the page.

 I used Trigger function on some Entry and Button control to enhance their effect.

IFolder, async/await etc. were a little bit confusing, but I finally made the code shown above.
It was somewhat difficult to display folder list. I found that IEnumerator was useful to do it, and could successfully get folder names as text array data and show them in ListView. But I have not deeply understood IEnumerater yet, and I have to study it.

In addition to create and delete files like folder I/O, read file contents and additionally write contents to file were also implemented. In display of file list, added MenuItem context actions, and move to the EditFile page explained later and delete file are available in it.

By the way, text.Remove(m,n) is convenient to process string data, isn't it? And Environmental.NewLine seems to be a line feed code. There are many things I don't know!

The tapped file in the file list of the previous FileIO page can be edited and saved in this page. Used a small technique to display a border line around the text input area of the Editor control.

EditFile.xaml.cs
using System;
using Xamarin.Forms;
using PCLStorage;

namespace PCLStrg
{
    public partial class EditFile : ContentPage
    {
        public EditFile(string filename)
        {
            InitializeComponent();

            // Get File Name tapped in the List
            TappedFileName.Text = filename.Remove(0, 7);

            // Read File Contents and Bind Editor control
            ImportFile();
        }

        // Get Root Folder Path
        IFolder rootFolder = FileSystem.Current.LocalStorage;

        public string content0;

        // Read File Contents and Bind Editor Control
        async void ImportFile()
        {
            IFile file = await rootFolder.GetFileAsync(TappedFileName.Text);
            string content = await file.ReadAllTextAsync();
            content0 = content;
            FileContent.Text = content;
        }


        // Save File
        async void SaveFile(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            IFile file = await rootFolder.CreateFileAsync(TappedFileName.Text, CreationCollisionOption.OpenIfExists);
            await file.WriteAllTextAsync(FileContent.Text);
            await DisplayAlert("File Content", TappedFileName.Text + " has been saved successfully!", "OK");
        }

        // not Save File
        async void NotSaveFile(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            IFile file = await rootFolder.CreateFileAsync(TappedFileName.Text, CreationCollisionOption.OpenIfExists);
            await file.WriteAllTextAsync(content0);
            await DisplayAlert("File Content", TappedFileName.Text + " has not been saved!", "OK");
            await Navigation.PushAsync(new FileIO());
        }

        // Close File (Back to File I/O page)
        async void CloseFile(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            await Navigation.PushAsync(new FileIO());
        }
    }
}


Ran this sample App on iOS simulator:

 The folder list are displayed in FolderIO page.


 File IO page.


 Editing file, Test1.txt, in the EditFile page.


 As mentioned above, I studied various aspects of folder and file I/O of PCS Storage.

Get the Color Code from an Image Pixel

イメージ
Keywords:  Xamarin.Forms, Image Class, Pan Gesture, Pinch Gesture, SkiaSharp, SKBitmap, SKBitmp.GetPixel, Slider I developed an App to easily get the color code from a image pixel, because when I found an App with good coloring sense, I wanted to know some color codes in the App.  Getting the color from image is very common function, and there are many Apps and Webs.  But I wanted to make it by myself, I wanted to learn image data handling in Xamarin.Forms, so I have tried to do it anyway. The screenshot just after launching this App (left), a screenshot (middle) when the image is dragged by Pan Gesture, and a screenshot (right) when the image is scaled by Pinch Gesture.  You can see a figure like a rifle sight.  The color code of the pixel on the center of the figure are shown below the image.

I have learned Xamarin animations such as TranslateTo and RotateTo, async and await, as well as 2D Packing algorithms.
