Is it possible to use Material.Avalonia.Dialogs on platforms that use Single View Application Lifetime (eg. mobile) ?
buzzware opened this issue · 3 comments
DialogDemoViewModel.cs calls dialog.ShowDialog which requires a Window, but it seems impossible to get a Window unless Application.Current?.ApplicationLifetime is IClassicDesktopStyleApplicationLifetime so I don't see how to use dialogs on mobile.
Material.Avalonia is actually currently the best path to building mobile apps with Avalonia at present, so this issue is particularly frustrating.
Hello, probably there is an option with DialogHost, but I don't know how dialogs are implemented, so I've also try to take a look at the weekend. If you can manage it by yourself - let me know.
I've look at code, and seems like - currently no way to reuse it for non-windowed dialogs (without faking the window in some way).
Seems like material dialogs should be rewritten to support it, and currently i've doesn't have a time for it. Also, the author of dialogs - @appleneko2001 currently unavailable up to next year. I don't think what i can find time to rewire dialogs by myself before next year (since i still need to find time to develop other features of Material). So, probably you shouldn't expect to me or @appleneko2001 will do something with dialogs before next year, sorry.
It you want you can try to do something by yourself - i'll review that.

Actually hit to the point, the old dialog system I made is a prototype, and the APIs are also not a good practice to use in production builds. I can't do anything before this year ends (I can't tell where I am sorry it's quite sensitive)
