How to resolve KinveyReference in Xamarin
2 CommentsSorted by Oldest First
Hi Jacob,
I am looking into this now. I have also involved a colleague who has some Xamarin experience.
Can you paste the code you are using to fetch occupation entities?

Hi Wani
This is the code that I'm using:
This is the code that I'm using:
public async Task<List<Occupation>> GetOccupations()
{
var occupations = await _service.FetchAllEntities<Occupation>(Occupation.CollectionName);
return occupations.ToList();
}
The FetchAllEntities method looks like this:
public async Task<T[]> FetchAllEntities<T>(string collectionName)
{
return await Client.AppData<T>(collectionName, typeof(T)).GetAsync();
}
As mentioned before, I get a List of KinveyReferences back, but the resolvedEntity property is null on each of the items in the list. I tried calling getResolvedEntity() on each of the objects in the list, but they come back as null as well.

Hi
I have a collection called "Occupation", an Occupation can have multiple "Available Skills". The Skills are stored in their own Collection called "Skill". I have defined my Occupation entity object as follows:
public class Occupation : EntityBase
{
public static string CollectionName = "Occupation";
[JsonProperty]
public string Name { get; set; }
[JsonProperty]
public List<KinveyReference<Skill>> AvailableSkills { get; set; }
public Occupation() : base()
{
AvailableSkills = new List<KinveyReference<Skill>>();
}
}
I have managed to add a Skill to the AvailableSkills list, and that is persisted on the server without issue. My problem is however, when I retrieve the occupation entity, the "resolved" property of the KinveyReference is null. What is the best way to resolve the reference so that I can get the actual skill object when I retrieve the occupation object?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Jacob
