Populating user interface widgets
At this point, we have a reference to the PointOfInterest object, but we have not taken any action to populate the content on UI. Populating the POI details on UI is a pretty straightforward process.
The EditText widget has a property named Text, which we can set to initialize the content for the widget. Let's create a simple method named UpdateUI(), which takes care of populating the POI details on the user interface widgets.
The following listing shows what is needed for UpdateUI():
protected void UpdateUI() { _nameEditText.Text = _poi.Name; _descrEditText.Text = _poi.Description; _addrEditText.Text = _poi.Address; _latEditText.Text = _poi.Latitude.ToString (); _longEditText.Text = _poi.Longitude.ToString (); ...Get Xamarin Mobile Application Development for Android - Second Edition now with the O’Reilly learning platform.
