ComboBox: [Android] Initially selected item is not displayed when using background brush as implicit style

I tested Android and iOS only. Other platforms i cannot test at the moment.

 

Given the following implementation of the Combobox i observ different behaviour if the bound item is a enum or a class.

<telerik:RadComboBox x:Name="a"
                     ItemsSource="{Binding CloudProviders}"
                     SelectedItem="{Binding SelectedCloudProvider}"
                     IsClearButtonVisible="False">
    <telerik:RadComboBox.ItemTemplate>
        <DataTemplate>
            <Grid HeightRequest="40"
                  Padding="10">
                <Label Text="{Binding Title}"
                       TextColor="{DynamicResource DisabledTextColor}"
                       FontSize="14" />
            </Grid>
        </DataTemplate>
    </telerik:RadComboBox.ItemTemplate>
    <telerik:RadComboBox.SelectedItemTemplate>
        <DataTemplate>
            <Grid HeightRequest="40"
                  Padding="10">
                <Label Text="{Binding Title}"
                       TextColor="{DynamicResource DisabledTextColor}"
                       FontSize="14" />
            </Grid>
        </DataTemplate>
    </telerik:RadComboBox.SelectedItemTemplate>
</telerik:RadComboBox>

 

If the Itemssource is a Array of a enum type it works as intended.

If the Itemssource is a Array of classes the initial selected display member is not visible. The moment i tap into the closed combobox, the selected member is visible.

 

The attached screenshots show the page after loading and after touching into the white area(combobox) once.

 

For Localization and more details, we want to use classes. Is this a bug or do we have a issue in our code here?

Hello Christoph,

As I am not familiar with the exact setup you have, send me a sample project where I can research the behavior further. Based on our examples with complex object data binding, the ComboBox displays all items in the dropdown and when item is selected it is displayed in the control's input. So we cannot reproduce the issue you have described.

The DisplayMemberPath was set in some tests by me, sorry for mising out including that information. This didnt make any difference. If no DisplayMemberPath object.ToString() seems to be invoked to display.

What should be proof in this being an error, is screenshot-1.png (initial post), where you can see, that not even the dropdown icon is rendered.

Hi Christoph,

I have reviewed the XAML and noticed you haven't set the DisplayMemberPath property. This is described here: https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/maui/controls/combobox/getting-started#binding-to-a-complex-object 

<telerik:RadComboBox ItemsSource="{Binding Items}" 
                DisplayMemberPath="Name"
                Placeholder="Select City"
                AutomationId="comboBox">
    <telerik:RadComboBox.ItemTemplate>
        <DataTemplate>
            <telerik:RadBorder BackgroundColor="LightYellow"
                        MinimumWidthRequest="300">
                <Label Text="{Binding Name}" 
                Padding="8, 7, 0, 7"
                TextColor="Black"/>
            </telerik:RadBorder>
        </DataTemplate>
    </telerik:RadComboBox.ItemTemplate>
    <telerik:RadComboBox.SelectedItemTemplate>
        <DataTemplate>
            <telerik:RadBorder BackgroundColor="LightBlue"
                        MinimumWidthRequest="300">
                <VerticalStackLayout>
                    <Label Text="{Binding Name}"
                    Padding="8, 7, 0, 7"
                    TextColor="Black"/>
                    <Label Text="{Binding Population}" 
                    FontSize="12"
                    Padding="8, 7, 0, 7"/>
                </VerticalStackLayout>
            </telerik:RadBorder>
        </DataTemplate>
    </telerik:RadComboBox.SelectedItemTemplate>
</telerik:RadComboBox>

Please review the documentation and the examples we have provided. If you have any further questions, open a support ticket.

I have changed the bug report status to Declined as this is not an issue in the control.
