Two ways Binding between a Slider and Entry - xaml

Question

I would like to bind an Entry with a Slider and vice versa. I wrote something like this:
<Entry x:Name="myEntry" Text="{Binding Value, Mode=TwoWay}" BindingContext="{x:Reference slider}"/>
<Slider x:Name="slider" Maximum="100" Minimum="0" BindingContext="{x:Reference myEntry}"/>
When I use the slider, the value in the entry is updated, but when I put manually some value in the Entry, the value append a 0 or change to 0. What can be the problem. I am working on android.

Answer 1

You should bind both your Slider and Entry to string/ integer in a backing View Model.
class MyViewModel
{
private int _sliderValue;
public string EntryText
{
get => _sliderValue.ToString();
set => SetProperty(ref _sliderValue, int.Parse(value) );
}
public int SliderValue
{
get => _sliderValue;
set => (ref _sliderValue, value);
}
}
And in the view
<Entry Text="{Binding EntryText}" />
<Slider Value="{Binding SliderValue}" />

please refer the following xaml code
<Frame HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand" VerticalOptions="StartAndExpand">
<StackLayout>
<Entry Text="{Binding Path=Value}"
FontSize="18"
x:Name="label"
BindingContext="{x:Reference Name=slider}"/>
<Slider x:Name="slider"
Maximum="1500"
VerticalOptions="CenterAndExpand" />
</StackLayout>
</Frame>

Answer 3

The same can be achieved by using the view model please refer the code
Xaml
<Frame HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand" VerticalOptions="StartAndExpand">
<StackLayout>
<Entry x:Name="NameEntry" Placeholder="Enter Name" Text="{Binding Forename,Mode=TwoWay}" />
<Slider Value="{Binding Forename}" Minimum="0" Maximum="10"/>
</StackLayout>
</Frame>
------------------- now see the model in a c# file-----------------------------------
public partial class MainPage : ContentPage
{
public class DetailsViewModel : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
int forename;
public int Forename
{
get
{
return forename;
}
set
{
if (forename != value)
{
forename = value;
OnPropertyChanged ("Forename");
}
}
}
protected virtual void OnPropertyChanged(string propertyName)
{
var changed = PropertyChanged;
if (changed != null)
{
PropertyChanged(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(propertyName));
}
}
public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
}
public MainPage()
{
InitializeComponent();
BindingContext = new DetailsViewModel();
}
}
