I am frustrated with the listview ItemSource and MVVM binding. I am binding the listview with a data model. After loading the listview, I add another item to the listview, the update is not reflected in listview, but it shows that the number of items in the list collection is increased by one. If I add the add in the list collection in the constructor, it is shown in the listview.
XAML
<Page
x:Class="App20.MainPage"

<Grid Padding="10">

<Grid Grid.Row="0">

</ListView.ItemTemplate>
</ListView>
</Grid>
</Grid>
<Button Content="Publish" VerticalAlignment="Top"
Height="76" Width="114" Click="Publish_Click" />
</Grid>
Controller
public class VictimsController : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
List<VictimProfile> _victims = new List<VictimProfile>();
public VictimsController()
{
//Victims.Add(new VictimProfile() { GPSLatitute = 123, GPSLongtitude = 2333 });
}
public List<VictimProfile> VictimList
{
get
{
return _victims;
}
set
{
_victims = value;
OnPropertyChanged("VictimList");
}
}
public void addVictim(VictimProfile profile)
{
_victims.Add(profile);
OnPropertyChanged("VictimList");
}
public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
public void OnPropertyChanged(string propertyName)
{
PropertyChanged?.Invoke(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(propertyName));
}
}
Adding one item to the listview model or collection
async void client_MqttMsgPublishReceived(object sender, MqttMsgPublishEventArgs e)
{
string ReceivedMessage = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(e.Message);
//convert the message to json format
var payLoad = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<VictimProfile>(ReceivedMessage);
// we need this construction because the receiving code in the library and the UI with textbox run on different threads
await Dispatcher.RunAsync(CoreDispatcherPriority.Normal, () => {
txt.Text += ReceivedMessage;
VictimsController model = this.DataContext as VictimsController;
model.addVictim(payLoad); //add item to the list collection
Debug.WriteLine("count: " + ls.Items.Count); //this shows that listview has one more item added to it, but nothing is shown in the listview
//ls.Items.Add(payLoad);
});
}
The point is the list collection has the new item and the ls (listview) also has the item, but it is not shown in the listview.

Finally I solved it. Changing the list to observable collection has solved the problem.
ObservableCollection<VictimProfile> _victims = new ObservableCollection<VictimProfile>();
