MAUI Picker Behavior Discrepancy Between Material Design PickerField and Standard Picker in Xamarin.Forms Tab Navigation

vsfeedback commented 3 months ago

This issue has been moved from a ticket on Developer Community.

In my Xamarin.Forms application, I'm encountering differing behavior between and controls when binding to the Type property and navigating between tabs.

public class ColumnEntity : ObservableObject
{
    private string _type;
    public string Type
    {
        get => _type;
        set
        {
            if (_type != value)
            {
                _type = value;
                OnPropertyChanged(nameof(Type));
                UpdateVisibilityProperties();
            }
        }
    }

[ObservableProperty]
    public ObservableCollection<string> ColumnTypes = new ObservableCollection<string>
    {
        "string",
        "int",
        "DateTime",
        "bool",
        "decimal",
        "Enum"
    };

private bool _isMaxLengthVisible;
    public bool IsMaxLengthVisible
    {
        get => _isMaxLengthVisible;
        set
        {
            if (_isMaxLengthVisible != value)
            {
                _isMaxLengthVisible = value;
                OnPropertyChanged(nameof(IsMaxLengthVisible));
            }
        }
    }

private void UpdateVisibilityProperties()
    {
        IsMaxLengthVisible = Type == "string" || Type == "decimal";
        // Add more visibility logic as needed
    }
}

<material:TabItem Title="Configurazione proprietà">
    <material:TabItem.Content>
        <Grid RowSpacing="15" RowDefinitions="Auto, Auto">
            <!-- Other UI elements -->
            <material:PickerField Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="2" x:Name="PickerType"
                                  ItemsSource="{Binding ColumnTypes}" SelectedItem="{Binding Type, Mode=TwoWay}"
                                  BorderColor="Transparent" SelectedValueChanged="OnPickerCompleted"/>
            <!-- OR -->
            <!--<Picker TitleColor="Black" x:Name="PickerType" Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="2"
                    SelectedItem="{Binding Type, Mode=TwoWay}" SelectedIndexChanged="OnPickerCompleted"
                    ItemsSource="{Binding ColumnTypes}" />-->

<Label Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="3" Padding="2,0,0,0" Text="Dimensioni" FontSize="13" TextColor="#8a8888"
                   IsVisible="{Binding IsMaxLengthVisible}" />
            <Entry Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="3" x:Name="MaxLength" Text="{Binding MaxLength, Mode=TwoWay}"
                   IsVisible="{Binding IsMaxLengthVisible}" Keyboard="Numeric" Completed="OnEntryCompleted">
                <Entry.Behaviors>
                    <behaviors:DecimalOnlyBehavior />
                </Entry.Behaviors>
            </Entry>
        </Grid>
    </material:TabItem.Content>
</material:TabItem>

Using , the Type property reliably retains its selected value during tab navigation. Using , the Type property inconsistently loses its selected value.
