    Does the TreeView support any kind of on demand update?

     

    In other words: does it require the entire tree to be available on load, or can a node's children be made available only when expanding the node?

    Hello,

    In order to achieve the requirement, you could handle the ItemTapped event of the TreeView and in its handler use the Expand method to expand the specific item from the source collection.

    Please take a look at the following code example:

    private void Tv_ItemTapped(object sender, ItemActionEventArgs e)
            {
                var item = e.Item as Item;
                if (item.Children.Count == 0)
                {
                    //populate children collection
                    item.Children.Add(new Item() { Children = new List<Item>(), Name = "Added item" });
                    //call Expand() with DeviceStartTimer
                    Device.StartTimer(TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(100), () => { this.tv.Expand(item); return false; });
                }
            }

    From the code above the item is cast to the business object you're using ( it's Item in the sample). When there are no children, they are added to the Item. In this way, the Expand method works fine on demand update.

    I hope I could be of help.
