I'm trying to learn Windows Phone dev by making a basic app that provides information about Pokemon. To do this, I've created a portable class library (PokeLib.dll) so it's compatible with universal apps. I've tested this via a project in the same solution ("Test"), and it works fine. You can take a look at the code for these on my Github, but as far as I can tell, it's all good. These two projects are in the one solution. For the Windows Phone app's solution, I added PokeLib as an "existing project", added the references, and written some a couple lines of code to make sure I could call it okay:
MainPage.xaml:
<Grid>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="auto"/>
<RowDefinition Height="*"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Button Name="GetDataButton" Content="GetData" Click="GetDataButton_Click" Grid.Row="0" HorizontalAlignment="Center"/>
<TextBlock Name="DataText" Text="Click to get data" Grid.Row="1" Padding="10"/>
</Grid>
MainPage.xaml.cs:
protected override void OnNavigatedTo(NavigationEventArgs e)
{
p = new Pokemon(1); // gets data for Pokemon #1 (Bulbasaur)
}
Pokemon p;
int counter = 0;
private async void GetDataButton_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
DataText.Text = "Fetching... Count: " + ++counter;
if (counter == 1) // first time button's clicked
{
await p.Create(); // populates the data container
DataText.Text = String.Format("Pokemon #{0}: {1}", p.Id, p.Name);
}
}
When I try to run this on a phone emulator, I get the following message:
. I am building the project as "debug" and have "Enable Just My Code" unchecked. I am not sure what to do under the Symbols pane, but I can add a screenshot of that too, if it'd be useful.
Anyway, the app opens, but freezes when I press the GetData button. I expected it would freeze for a moment since that call is done synchronously, but this is permanent. However, no errors/exceptions are thrown. The debugger also doesn't respond when I attempt to step into the p.Create() call (likely stemming from the message in the screenshot).
Anyone have an idea of what I'm doing wrong? Thanks!
