[Bug] [Android] CarouselView.CurrentItem = null Causes App to Crash #13296

Open SkyeHoefling opened 3 years ago

SkyeHoefling commented 3 years ago

Description

When using a CarouselView if you attempt to set the CurrentItem to null the application crashes. The following code should not cause the application to crash.

Items.Clear();
CurrentItem = null;

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open reproduction app
  2. Tap Clear

Expected Behavior

The app should allow the CurrentItem to be set to null as there is no longer a current item. An alternative would be once the ItemsSource is cleared the CurrentItem is automatically set to null.

Actual Behavior

The app crashes

Workaround

My workaround is pretty hacky, but it works. In the ViewModel every time the SelectedItem is updated it publishes an event for the UI to update. Since I want to null out the SelectedItem when the Items has a length of 0, I can add a check for this. Only publish the event if the Items.Length > 0. This will allow the state of our ViewModel to properly reflect the data but only communicate to the UI if the it needs to be notified.

string selectedItem;
public string SelectedItem
{
    get => selectedItem;
    set
    {
        if (selectedItem == value)
            return;

        if (Items.Count > 0)
            RaisePropertyChanged();
    }
}

I just confirmed that this is fixed if I update the XF project to the newly released 5.0.0.1874. Could we apply a fix for a 4.8 Service Pack?

The original reproduction project was fixed in 5.0.0.1874, however if you use IsSwipeEnabled it still crashes. See comment below https://github.com/xamarin/Xamarin.Forms/issues/13296#issuecomment-756172036

hartez commented 3 years ago

@ahoefling Any reason you can't update to 5.0?

SkyeHoefling commented 3 years ago

The short answer is yes I can upgrade to 5.0, but it wasn't exactly clear if this would work as the preview builds of 5.0 and even the initial stable release caused us problems.

When using the CarouselView in XF 4.8 I had the following usage

<CarouselView
    ItemsSource="{Binding Items}"
    CurrentItem="{Binding CurrentItem}"
    IsSwipeEnabled="True" />

In XF 4.8 by setting IsSwipeEnabled="True" it prevented the CarouselView from looping infinitely. When I upgraded the solution to XF 5.0, I noticed that a new property called Loop was added, by default this is set to true. In my scenario the CarouselView would dynamically add items and update the position on the carousel each time an item is added. It can also update the CurrentItem binded property to change the position. When I upgraded to XF 5.0 the CarouselView virtualization was acting 'funky' and inconsistent compared to XF 4.8. The best way to describe this is the CarouselView would slide to the wrong item or the same item would be duplicated a couple times. This would go away after a complete scroll of all items in the CarouselView.

When I updated the loop property to Loop="False", this problem went away.

<CarouselView
    ItemsSource="{Binding Items}"
    CurrentItem="{Binding CurrentItem}"
    IsSwipeEnabled="True"
    Loop="False" />

I spent a couple hours this morning trying to reproduce the in a small scale sample app, but wasn't able to get the same effect. I think my project adds additional moving parts on our specific Android device - Zebra TC70x which uses a custom AOSP fork of Android 8.1 that integrates with a hardware barcode scanner. Each item in the CarouselView is updated by barcode scans that originate from a background thread, I manually marshal these threads to the MainUI thread using Device.BeginInvokeOnMainThread().

I unfortunately did not have enough concrete data to create another issue for XF 5.0.

Update - Crashes in XF 5.0

@hartez I did some more research on this and it is in fact happening in Xamarin.Forms 5.0. I originally thought this was fixed as the original sample code was crashing in XF 4.8 and working in XF 5.0. When I updated my proprietary code, I noticed I was still getting the crash. This still originated from the statement CarouselView.CurrentItem = null;. I believe part of the problem was resolved from XF 4.8 to XF 5.0, but not everything.

In short when you null out the CarouselView.CurrentItem if you have IsSwipeEnabled="True"`` XF will attempt an animation using theScrollTo()method of theItemsView`. Since there is nothing to scroll to, the application crashes

<CarouselView 
    ItemsSource="{Binding Items}"
    CurrentItem="{Binding SelectedItem}"
    Loop="False"
    IsSwipeEnabled="True" />
Items.Clear();
SelectedItem = null;

Reproduction Link

I have created an updated sample project for anyone to take a look at. This uses XF 5.0.0.1874 and the app does crash on clearing out the CarouselView

Versions

Xamarin.Forms 5.0.0.1874

nionzion commented 3 years ago

Workaround

[assembly: ExportRenderer(typeof(CarouselView), typeof(CustomCarouselViewRenderer))]
namespace ...
public class CustomCarouselViewRenderer : CarouselViewRenderer
{
        public CustomCarouselViewRenderer(Context context) : base(context)
        {
        }

        protected override void ScrollTo(ScrollToRequestEventArgs args)
        {
            if(args.Item != null)
                base.ScrollTo(args);
        }
}

To obtain custom functionality you can customize the ScrollTo-Method

SkyeHoefling commented 3 years ago

@nionzion Thanks for the workaround, this does prevent the application from crashing and it is something I was looking at for a potential fix to XF. I believe the problem to be more complex than that as ScrollTo stopped working after my first time clearing out the list and setting the CurrentItem = null.

It appears that there is some state management code that happens in the parent class that needs to be reset. Otherwise setting the CurrentItem won't invoke the scroll event.

CocoCR300 commented 3 years ago

This also affects UWP (https://github.com/xamarin/Xamarin.Forms/issues/13133#issuecomment-762308838):

  1. Binding an empty collection to the ItemsSource property causes CurrentItem being set to null and then the app crashes.
  2. In a collection with some items, clearing it and then scrolling causes the app to crash. The last element displayed remains there.

Testing Android 10 - API 29 didn't throw me any errors. All using X.F 5.0.0.1874

rmarinho commented 3 years ago

Hey i can fix the issue of the crash but i m trying to figure out why it doesn't work the 2nd time (clear the items) .

Will keep you posted @ahoefling

working on it here https://github.com/xamarin/Xamarin.Forms/pull/13536

@nionzion solution also worked for me on IOS. Thank you. Spent days on trying to fix this.
