saamerm / AndroidAudioRecordingPlaybackService.cs
Created December 3, 2020 08:37
Sample Audio Recording service used for a Xamarin Forms application to record & play audio even if the user goes to the background. I expected to inherit from Android's Service, but I didn't need to do that

using Android.OS;
using Java.IO;
[assembly: Xamarin.Forms.Dependency(typeof(BackgroundRecord.Droid.AudioRecordingService))]
[assembly: UsesPermission(Manifest.Permission.RecordAudio)]

saamerm / MvxLayoutInflater.cs
Last active November 20, 2020 14:08
MvvmCross 5.2.1 MvxLayoutInflater.cs containing fixes to MvxLayoutInflater.cs from MvvmCross 6.4.1. Check the 4 steps mentioned in the commented code on the top for steps on how to implement this.
/* Steps:
1. Change the targetframework of your android project to Android 10 or above
2. Then add this file to your project either in one file or separate files.
3. Change the namespace from App.Droid to your Android project's namespace.
4. Then in all activities that inherit MvxAppCompatActivity or MvxActivity, add this override and build:
protected override void AttachBaseContext(Context @base)
{
base.AttachBaseContext(MvxContextWrapper2.Wrap(@base, this));
}
