MaterialComponents.MultilineTextField.TextView.Delegate gets set to null and breaks EventHandlers #7235

Open PureWeen opened 5 years ago

PureWeen commented 5 years ago

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Download sample
  2. Deploy to physical device (I've been using an iPad with iOS 13)
  3. Anything you type inside the entry field should output to the debug window.
  4. If you hit the enter key enough times you'll notice at some point it stops outputing anything
  5. in the iOS project locate CustomEditorRenderer
  6. If you uncomment this line // _localDelegateSave = TextView.Delegate;
  7. Now rerun the project
  8. Now no matter what you type or how many times you hit enter the delegate isn't lost

Here's the fix we are applying to Xamarin.Forms https://github.com/xamarin/Xamarin.Forms/pull/8011/files#diff-71148fd2814c3d17185db42cc58913ffR173

Here's the issue people are having https://github.com/xamarin/Xamarin.Forms/issues/5500

Expected Behavior

I shouldn't have to save the TextView.Delegate to a local variable

Actual Behavior

I have to save it to a local variable otherwise it gets set to null on the TextView

rolfbjarne commented 5 years ago

The problem is that the TextView instance is collected by the GC (which means TextView's Dispose method is called, which nulls out the Delegate field, which makes everything visibly break).

I have not yet figured out why the TextView instance is collected.

PureWeen commented 5 years ago

We've had to account for these kinds of things a few places

Most recently https://github.com/xamarin/Xamarin.Forms/blob/master/Xamarin.Forms.Platform.iOS/Renderers/PageRenderer.cs#L20

Which we instantiate inside LoadView

https://github.com/xamarin/Xamarin.Forms/blob/master/Xamarin.Forms.Platform.iOS/Renderers/PageRenderer.cs#L155

If we didn't store the view locally then it was getting disposed of.
Especially when using the designer.
