I am developing an IOS application with Xamarin using MvvmCross. I want to use a tab bar to navigate between my Views. I want to have only 1 storyboard per View and want to navigate and call my views from code. I've overridden the MvxStoryboardViewsContainer Method CreateViewOfTyp() like the following:
protected override IMvxTouchView CreateViewOfType(Type viewType,
MvxViewModelRequest request)
{
var storyboardAttribute = viewType.GetCustomAttribute<FromStoryboardAttribute>();
if (storyboardAttribute == null) {
return base.CreateViewOfType(viewType, request);
}
string storyboardName = storyboardAttribute.StoryboardName ?? viewType.Name;
return
(IMvxTouchView)
UIStoryboard.FromName(storyboardName, NSBundle.MainBundle).InstantiateInitialViewController();
}
Evrytime I try creating my tab bar I call this Method a try to create a View from my model. The Problem I am encountering here is that UIStoryboard I instantiate is of type UIViewController and not MvxViewController (therefor the app crashes when it tries to cast). The actual Controller in question however, should be an MvxViewController!
[FromStoryboard("WorklistView")]
public partial class WorklistViewController :
MvxViewController<WorklistViewModel>
{
public WorklistViewController (IntPtr handle) : base (handle)
{
}
}
I'm not sure what i'm missing? Why is the Controller i get a UIViewController and not the MvxViewController it should be? Thing is I found a lot about what i am trying to do but i can't figure out what i'm doing different.
