TChart is not collcted by gc in xamrin.ios

Post by bill2004158 » Tue Jun 26, 2018 9:31 am

in class TChart,
there is such code:

Code: Select all

    protected void initVars()
    {
...
NSNotificationCenter.DefaultCenter.AddObserver((NSString)"UIDeviceOrientationDidChangedNotification",
				delegate {
				this.chart.Invalidate();
			});
...
that code has two problems:
1. "UIDeviceOrientationDidChangedNotification" should be "UIDeviceOrientationDidChangeNotification"
2. added observer, when init, however, haven't unregister it when dispose this object. thus DefaultCenter will always refer to the delegate method, which caused gc will not collect the Tchart object. I think it should be like this:

Code: Select all

private readonly NSObject notification;

    protected void initVars()
    {
...
notification = NSNotificationCenter.DefaultCenter.AddObserver((NSString)"UIDeviceOrientationDidChangeNotification",
				delegate {
				this.chart.Invalidate();
			});
...
  }

        protected override void Dispose(bool disposing)
        {
            if (disposing)
            {
                notification.Dispose();
            }

            base.Dispose(disposing);
        }

Hello,

thanks for the advise. You're correct, Let me recheck the latest source code, and do the modifications to fix these bugs for the next maintenance release.
