Hi Guys,
Recently updated our App to 1.3.1, got it to build but seem to be having major delay issues in adding content with lots of grids dynamically.
Our app is fairly complicated so i created a new project (ran it on android) and replicated the issue (see attached)
basically our main contentpage loads fine, no issues, but adding contentviews to a grid seem to get insanely slow.
control_test is the main page
slowcontenttest is a content view.
clicking the next button just does a Children.Add(new slowcontenttest)
now sit back and wait for literally 60 seconds while it tries to show the new content. ( about 30 on an ipad air )
removing grid "content 2" from the slowcontenttest xaml seems to reduce the time on android to about 14 seconds and removing "content 1" seems to reduce it further so the assumption is there is a problem with nested grids.
while it was not the fastest before on Xamarin.Forms 1.2.3, it was only about a second delay, this has only come to light in the recent update of 1.3.1
we were days away from completing our project, figured we would do an update to comply with the new 64bit IOS store requests
I have attached App5.zip which was created with the 1.3.1 Xamarin.Forms
I wanted to do a comparison project but there seems to be no way to add earlier versions of Xamarin.Forms without fully downgrading.
Is there any workaround (obviously without removing grids as our app is pretty much done...)?
Is this a known issue with plans for it to be fixed?
kind regards
Robert
