FormsMessageVisualizerService

The FormsMessageVisualizerService
provides a simple wrapper around the Xamarin.Forms Page.DisplayAlert
functionality to make it conform to an abstraction - IMessageVisualizerService
. This breaks the dependency in a View Model and allows it to be tested properly.
You can either call the static XamUInfrastructure.Init
method to register the service, or register it yourself through your own container. Here's an example of manually registering the service with the built-in DependencyService
:
public class App
{
public App()
{
XamarinUniversity.Services.XamUInfrastructure.Init();
...
}
}
or:
public class App
{
public App()
{
DependencyService.Register<IMessageVisualizerService, FormsMessageVisualizerService>();
...
}
}
Then you can retrieve it in your View Model:
public class MyViewModel
{
IDependencyService ds;
...
void OnError() {
ds.Get<IMessageVisualizerService>()
.Show("Error", "Houston, we have a problem", "OK);
}
}
