I'm playing with MonoTouch.Dialog and written some code to show some tweets. The problem is that the table cells are too small and the cells are all bunched up when I load the StyledMultilineElement
s asynchronously. They look absolutely perfect when I load them synchronously (i.e. without the QueueUserWorkItem
/InvokeOnMainThread
part)
Is there a way of getting the table cells to recalculate their height?
// This method is invoked when the application has loaded its UI and its ready to run
public override bool FinishedLaunching(UIApplication app, NSDictionary options)
{
window.AddSubview(navigation.View);
var tweetsSection = new Section("MonoTouch Tweets"){
new StringElement("Loading...") //placeholder
};
var menu = new RootElement("Demos"){
tweetsSection,
};
var dv = new DialogViewController(menu) { Autorotate = true };
navigation.PushViewController(dv, true);
window.MakeKeyAndVisible();
// Load tweets async
UIApplication.SharedApplication.NetworkActivityIndicatorVisible = true;
ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem(delegate {
var doc = XDocument.Load("http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?q=%23MonoTouch");
var atom = (XNamespace)"http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom";
var tweets =
from node in doc.Root.Descendants(atom + "entry")
select new {
Author = node.Element(atom + "author").Element(atom + "name").Value,
Text = node.Element(atom + "title").Value
};
var newElements =
from tweet in tweets
select new StyledMultilineElement(
tweet.Author,
tweet.Text);
InvokeOnMainThread(delegate {
UIApplication.SharedApplication.NetworkActivityIndicatorVisible = false;
tweetsSection.Remove(0);
tweetsSection.Add(newElements.Cast<Element>().ToList());
});
});
return true;
}
