Screen's and view model lifecycle

Screen

  • OnInitialize becomes OnInitializeAsync
  • OnActivate becomes OnActivateAsync
  • OnDeactivate becomes OnDeactivateAsync

When they are called in view model life cycle has not changes.

If you current implementation doesn’t use an any async code then simply adding the following to each will suffice.

return Task.CompletedTask;

If your methods were async void then simply fixing the method signature will be enough. Be aware that this fixes the bug where OnActivate would be called as soon as you hit the await in OnInitialize where now it will wait till it is fully completed.

IGuardClose

CanClose no longer has a bool callback, but returns a Task<bool> that better enables modern UI frameworks that use async dialogs. Now instead of calling the callback with whether the view model should close we can how simply return it from the method.
