[Android] Blocking: When changing main page get error

[PWaliaDev]

When changing Main page of application from Carousel View to something else get below error

Unable to activate instance of type Com.ViewPagerIndicator.CirclePageIndicator from native handle 0xff91625c (key_handle 0x379aca3). ---> System.MissingMethodException: No constructor found for Com.ViewPagerIndicator.CirclePageIndicator::.ctor(System.IntPtr, Android.Runtime.JniHandleOwnership) ---> Java.Interop.JavaLocationException: Exception of type 'Java.Interop.JavaLocationException' was thrown. at Java.Lang.Error: Exception of type 'Java.Lang.Error' was thrown.

Also I tried ways mentioned in this ticket #489 but nothing works

if I add Xamarin.Android.Support.ViewPager then get below error.

Error XA2002: Can not resolve reference: Xamarin.Android.Support.ViewPager, referenced by Com.ViewPagerIndicator. Please add a NuGet package or assembly reference for Xamarin.Android.Support.ViewPager, or remove the reference to Com.ViewPagerIndicator.

I had a similar issue. Downgrading the CircleIndicator Nuget Package helped as a Workaround.

There is no such package installed called CircleIndicator - I can only see package installed is CarouselView.FormsPlugin - Version 5.2.0

All version seems to break for me, what version of CircleIndicator and CarouselView were you using?

I am back! Releasing new version in the next 2 weeks. This issue will be corrected.

@alexrainman Hope you will, cause we stuck with Xamarin 3.4 with your very useful lib.

@alexrainman any update on the new release ? It's been more than 3 weeks now. @Phenek has created a PR for the change. Thanks 👍

My quick and dirty fix for this is clearing the content and thus all controls from the current page before switching to another main page. While this is surely not an elegant solution and leaves the page blank while initializing the new one at least the error is gone...

// clear the contents of the old page
var oldPage = Application.Current.MainPage;
if (oldPage is NavigationPage navPage)
{
   if (navPage.RootPage is ContentPage contentPage)
   {
      contentPage.Content = null;
   }
}

// now switch to your new page
Application.Current.MainPage = [your new page];

any update of this issue.

Updating to latest version of CirclePageIndicator should solve this in the meantime.

I updated CirclePageIndicator to 1.0.3 inside my project

Even if I install ViewPager I got the:

Can not resolve reference: Xamarin.Android.Support.ViewPager, referenced by Com.ViewPagerIndicator.

Unfortunately I think that there is already a CirclePageIndicator.dll in Carousel Lib

Updating the CirclePageIndicator inside the CarouselView nupkg is solved the issue for me.

There's not a CirclePageIndicator.dll in Carousel Lib. You will have to wait for the next release then.

Updating to latest version of CirclePageIndicator should solve this in the meantime.

@alexrainman Tying to do that, I get the same Error as @Phenek

Updating the CirclePageIndicator inside the CarouselView nupkg is solved the issue for me.

@Phenek How did you do that?

Nevertheless: Great tool, would always recommend it! 👍

[Phenek]

I just created a nuspec file with the updated circlepageIndicator PR and then nuget pack it to create .nupkg output

[alexrainman]

This will be fixed in next release.
