In the SearchBar.TextChanged event, filter items based on the NewTextValue property of TextChangedEventArgs. You can filter items based on the collection bound to both the Accordion and the ListView. Filtered items set to Accordion using the BindableLayout.SetItemsSource method. You can expand the AccordionItem to show the searched ListViewItem by setting the IsExpanded property to true.
namespace AccordionXamarin.Helper
{
public class Behavior : Behavior<ContentPage>
{
SfAccordion Accordion;
SearchBar SearchBar;
protected override void OnAttachedTo(ContentPage bindable)
{
Accordion = bindable.FindByName<SfAccordion>("OuterAccordion");
SearchBar = bindable.FindByName<SearchBar>("searchBar");
SearchBar.TextChanged += SearchBar_TextChanged;
base.OnAttachedTo(bindable);
}
private void SearchBar_TextChanged(object sender, TextChangedEventArgs e)
{
var viewModel = new ItemInfoRepository();
var accordionItems = viewModel.Info;
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(e.NewTextValue))
{
BindableLayout.SetItemsSource(Accordion, accordionItems);
return;
}
var filteredSource = accordionItems.Where(x => (x.Name.ToLower()).StartsWith(e.NewTextValue.ToLower())).ToList<ItemInfo>();
if(filteredSource.Count == 0)
{
List<Variety> listfilteredSource = null;
for (int i = 0; i < accordionItems.Count; i++)
{
var item = accordionItems[i];
listfilteredSource = item.Varieties.Where(x => (x.Name.ToLower()).StartsWith(e.NewTextValue.ToLower())).ToList<Variety>();
if (listfilteredSource.Count > 0)
{
var list = accordionItems.Where(x => x.Name.Contains(item.Name.ToString()));
BindableLayout.SetItemsSource(Accordion, list);
if (!Accordion.Items[0].IsExpanded)
Accordion.Items[0].IsExpanded = true;
return;
}
}
}
BindableLayout.SetItemsSource(Accordion, filteredSource);
}
}
}
