1. Function Introduction

1.1. Read the basic information of the mobile phone

The Xamarin.Essentials library is mainly used to obtain basic device information, and the Xam.Plugin.DeviceInfo plug-in is used to obtain App Id. In fact, the plug-in can also obtain basic device information.

1.2. Read phone contact information

The Android and iOS projects specifically implement the contact reading service, and use DependencyService to obtain the service function.

1.3. Application localization

Using resource files for localization, currently only in Chinese and English.

2. Detailed function description

2.1. Read basic information of mobile phone

The Xamarin.Essentials library is used to obtain the basic information of the mobile phone, such as the mobile phone manufacturer, model, name, type, version, etc .; the Xam.Plugin.DeviceInfo plugin is used to obtain the App Id, which is used to uniquely identify different mobile phones. For the information, see the following figure:

The code structure is as follows:

ClientInfoViewModel.cs

using Plugin.DeviceInfo;
using System;
using Xamarin.Essentials;

namespace TerminalMACS.Clients.App.ViewModels
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Client base information page ViewModel
    /// </summary>
    public class ClientInfoViewModel : BaseViewModel
    {
        /// <summary>
        /// Gets or sets the id of the application.
        /// </summary>
        public string AppId { get; set; } = CrossDeviceInfo.Current.GenerateAppId();
        /// <summary>
        /// Gets or sets the model of the device.
        /// </summary>
        public string Model { get; private set; } = DeviceInfo.Model;
        /// <summary>
        /// Gets or sets the manufacturer of the device.
        /// </summary>
        public string Manufacturer { get; private set; } = DeviceInfo.Manufacturer;
        /// <summary>
        /// Gets or sets the name of the device.
        /// </summary>
        public string Name { get; private set; } = DeviceInfo.Name;
        /// <summary>
        /// Gets or sets the version of the operating system.
        /// </summary>
        public string VersionString { get; private set; } = DeviceInfo.VersionString;
        /// <summary>
        /// Gets or sets the version of the operating system.
        /// </summary>
        public Version Version { get; private set; } = DeviceInfo.Version;
        /// <summary>
        /// Gets or sets the platform or operating system of the device.
        /// </summary>
        public DevicePlatform Platform { get; private set; } = DeviceInfo.Platform;
        /// <summary>
        /// Gets or sets the idiom of the device.
        /// </summary>
        public DeviceIdiom Idiom { get; private set; } = DeviceInfo.Idiom;
        /// <summary>
        /// Gets or sets the type of device the application is running on.
        /// </summary>
        public DeviceType DeviceType { get; private set; } = DeviceInfo.DeviceType;

2.2. Read phone contact information

The Android and iOS projects specifically implement the contact reading service, and use the DependencyService to obtain the service function. The function screenshot is as follows:

2.2.1. TerminalMACS.Clients.App

The code structure is as follows:

2.2.1.1. Contact entity class: Contacts.cs

Currently only the contact name, picture, email (may be multiple), phone number (may be multiple) are obtained, and more can be expanded.

namespace TerminalMACS.Clients.App.Models
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Contact information entity.
    /// </summary>
    public class Contact
    {
        /// <summary>
        /// Gets or sets the name
        /// </summary>
        public string Name { get; set; }
        /// <summary>
        /// Gets or sets the image
        /// </summary>
        public string Image { get; set; }
        /// <summary>
        /// Gets or sets the emails
        /// </summary>
        public string[] Emails { get; set; }
        /// <summary>
        /// Gets or sets the phone numbers
        /// </summary>
        public string[] PhoneNumbers { get; set; }
    }
}

2.2.1.2. Contact service interface: IContactsService.cs

include:

• A contact acquisition request interface: RetrieveContactsAsync
• A notification event for reading a contact result: OnContactLoaded

The interface is implemented by specific platforms (Android and iOS).

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Threading;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using TerminalMACS.Clients.App.Models;

namespace TerminalMACS.Clients.App.Services
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Read a contact record notification event parameter.
    /// </summary>
    public class ContactEventArgs:EventArgs
    {
        public Contact Contact { get; }
        public ContactEventArgs(Contact contact)
        {
            Contact = contact;
        }
    }

    /// <summary>
    /// Contact service interface, which is required for Android and iOS terminal specific 
    ///  contact acquisition service needs to implement this interface.
    /// </summary>
    public interface IContactsService
    {
        /// <summary>
        /// Read a contact record and notify the shared library through this event.
        /// </summary>
        event EventHandler<ContactEventArgs> OnContactLoaded;
        /// <summary>
        /// Loading or not
        /// </summary>
        bool IsLoading { get; }
        /// <summary>
        /// Try to get all contact information
        /// </summary>
        /// <param name="token"></param>
        /// <returns></returns>
        Task<IList<Contact>> RetrieveContactsAsync(CancellationToken? token = null);
    }
}

2.2.1.3. Contact VM: ContactViewModel.cs

2.2.2. Android

The code structure is as follows:

• AndroidManifest.xml: Write permission request for reading and writing contacts.
• ContactsService.cs: specific contact permission request and data reading operation.
• MainActivity.cs: Receive permission request results
• MainApplicaion.cs: No mission-critical code is added to this class, but it is essential, otherwise the permission request window will not pop up properly.
• PermissionUtil.cs: Permission request result judgment

2.2.2.1. Add permission to AndroidManifest.xml

Just add the following line:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_CONTACTS" />

2.2.2.2. ContactsService.cs

Android contact acquisition and realization service, realize IContactsService. Pay attention to the feature code in the namespace. After adding this feature, you can use DependencyService.Get in the previous contact VM () Get this service instance, the default service is singleton:

2.2.2.3. MainActivity.cs

The code is simple, only receive the permission request result in the OnRequestPermissionsResult method:

// The contact service processes the result of the permission request.
ContactsService.OnRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults);

2.2.3. iOS

The code structure is as follows:

• ContactsService.cs: specific contact permission request and data reading operation.
• Info.plist: description file when requesting permission

2.2.3.1. ContactsService.cs

The iOS specific contact reading service implements the IContactsService interface. The principle is similar to the Android contact service. I have no debugging environment. This function has not been tested in iOS.

2.3. Application localization

Using resource files for localization, currently only in Chinese and English.

The resource file is as follows:

Specify the default culture

For the resource file to work properly, the application must specify NeutralResourcesLanguage. In shared projects, you should customize the AssemblyInfo.cs file to specify the default culture. The following code demonstrates how to set NeutralResourcesLanguage to zh-CN in the AssemblyInfo.cs file (taken from the official documentation: https://docs.microsoft.com/zh-cn/samples/xamarin/xamarin-forms-samples/usingresxlocalization/, after After testing, comment the following code can also be localized normally ):

[assembly: NeutralResourcesLanguage("zh-CN")]

Used in XAML

Introduce resource file namespace

xmlns:resources="clr-namespace:TerminalMACS.Clients.App.Resx"

Specific use such as

<Label Text="{x:Static resources:AppResource.ClientName_AboutPage}" FontAttributes="Bold"/>

3. About TerminalMACS and this client

3.1. TermainMACS

The multi-terminal resource management and detection system contains multiple sub-process modules. Currently, only the Xamarin.Forms client is developed. The next step is to develop the server. It is developed using .NET 5 Web API and is built on Abp vNext.

3.2. Xamarin.Forms client

As a sub-process module of the TerminalMACS system, currently only the basic information acquisition, contact information acquisition, and localization functions of the mobile phone are developed. When the server is subsequently developed, communication functions will be added, such as connection server verification and active push of acquired resources Wait.
