I have done some research online, but have found nothing that directly answers my question here. Is there a way to validate a WebView form via Xamarin.Forms?
In my exact scenario, I would like to assure that if there is a textfield that is left empty within the WebView then I will display a native iOS alert (DisplayAlert).
My asynchronous Task looks somewhat like below:
private async Task<string> FormValidation ()
{
WebView wv = new WebView();
string elementID = "mobileShipFromCsp1";
string x = await wv.EvaluateJavaScriptAsync($"document.getElementById('{elementID}').value;");
Console.WriteLine("This is x: " + x);
if(x == "")
{
await DisplayAlert("", "This should work", "Ok");
}
Console.WriteLine("This is x: " + x);
return x;
}
But there is no alert showing at the press of submit.
I cannot bind the submit button to this Task, seeing that there is no button in the xaml (because we are calling a webview).
This is my XAML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<views:WebViewContainerBaseView xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms"
<ContentPage.Content>
<StackLayout>
<webviews:WebviewContainer x:Name="shippingView" VerticalOptions="FillAndExpand"
BackgroundColor="white"/>
</StackLayout>
</ContentPage.Content>
</views:WebViewContainerBaseView>
