Enabling Shake using BindingContext is a problem

[smurfster]

Hi,

Is there a method of globally enabling Shake as it seems strange to define at page level.
Also a bigger concern is that I have to make the BindingContext bind to LoggingController instead of a viewModel that provides the function to the page.

Am I missing something as Im pretty new to MAUI

So the way I've implemented this is to have a base viewmodel that instantiates the LoggingController class

Jean-Marie, what might really help MetroLog usage is if you supplied an MVVM example as well as the code-behind.
I find that most .net maui demo's use only code-behind and leave it up to us to figure out how to work that into an MVVM solution.

Jean-Marie, I found a quick and dirty solution to my problem of popping up the "share logs" page from subsequent shakes.
My BaseContentPageVM has a ViewModelOnAppearing() method which gets called when the page is appearing.
Since this is called after popping down the "share logs" screen, I simply recreated the _logController and set IsShakeEnabled to true again:

    public virtual async Task ViewModelOnAppearing()
    {
        _logController = new LogController();
        _logController.IsShakeEnabled = true;
    }

I don't think you need to instantiate a new LogController, you could just call LogController.ResumeShakeIfNeeded()

Jean-Marie, I tried that. It didn't work.

Oh i didn't see you did this at the view model level.
You should call LogController.SuspendShake when the App is stopped.
Then LogController.ResumeShakeIfNeeded() when it's resumed.

It will be maybe neater :)
