Tools to simplify creating dialogs for MonoDroid

MonoDroid.Dialog

NOTE: This project is an attempt to port the ideas and ease of use of the MonoTouch.Dialog project to MonoDroid. Given the significant differences in the layout and UI architectures between iOS and Android some things will inevitably be different between the projects but conceptually MonoDroid.Dialog should stay very close to MonoTouch.Dialog. Expect lots of changes and chaos as more and more elements get added.

MonoDroid.Dialog is a foundation to create dialog boxes and show table-based information without having to write dozens of delegates and controllers for the user interface.

RadioGroup Fails to Expand

I noticed that the RadioElement fails to expand. Here are the steps to reproduce:

Go into the same app for the MonoDroid.Dialog.

Click the dialog button on top

Scroll to the bottom and try to expand the RadioElements

Notice that the group fails to expand.

GridViewElement...

It would be nice to have a built in GridViewElement for displaying column based data.

Info here - http://docs.xamarin.com/android/tutorials/User_Interface/grid_view

I may implement this next week, as I need it for the project I'm working on.

Error when adding only one section with only one element

Hi,

If you add only one section with only one element, when attach the root to adapter you get following error :

The only fix I found is to add a new section without any information inside.

With more than two sections you never have any problem.

Sample Application Fails to Compile

The DialogSampleApp fails to compile with Xamarin Studio 4.3.2;

/DialogSampleApp/Activity2.cs(6,6): Error CS0121: The call is ambiguous between the following methods or properties: MonoDroid.Dialog.Section.Add(MonoDroid.Dialog.Element)' andMonoDroid.Dialog.Section.Add(System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<MonoDroid.Dialog.Element>)' (CS0121) (DialogSampleApp)

MultilineElement not rendering any text.

Setting the Caption or Value properties of a Multi-Line Element, does not display anything.
The Element allows you to type into it, but it is then rendered as black text on a black background.

StringElement and others failing to appear

Running the DialogSampleApp on an Acer Iconia B1 running Android 4.1.2 and the application itself built for either (tried both) Android 2.2 or Android 4.0.3. StringElement appears blank.
