I'm using Kinvey db for my project with Xamarin. I familiar with parse pointer functionality. I want to do the same functionality with Kinvey. Kinvey has reference functionality too. I tried that but it always store the null value in kinky db. So I'm really stuck on this. Here is my final result in Kinvey, which stores null value
Result:
{"type":"KinveyRef","_id":"55f18c9d39d29b9e0f023748","_collection":"Color","_obj":null}
My Database model class
[JsonObject(MemberSerialization.OptIn)]
public class Gallery
{
public Gallery ()
{
}
[JsonProperty("_id")]
public string ID { get; set; }
[JsonProperty]
public string Name { get; set; }
[JsonProperty]
public KinveyReference<Color> color;
}
[JsonObject(MemberSerialization.OptIn)]
public class Color
{
public Color ()
{
}
[JsonProperty("_id")]
public string ID { get; set; }
[JsonProperty]
public string Title { get; set; }
[JsonProperty]
public string Code { get; set; }
}
Code to store the data in db is
AsyncAppData<Gallery> entityCollection = Client.AppData<User>("Gallery", typeof(Gallery));
entityCollection.setCache(cache, CachePolicy.CACHE_FIRST);
AsyncAppData<Color> colorCollection = Client.AppData<Color>("Color", typeof(Color));
colorCollection.setCache(lcache, CachePolicy.CACHE_FIRST);
Color color = new Color();
color.Title = "Pink";
color.Code = "ff00ff";
Color colorEnt = await colorCollection.SaveAsync(color);
Gallery gallery = new Gallery();
gallery.Name = "HARSHAD";
gallery.ID = "1211222as";
KinveyReference<Color> reference = new KinveyReference<Color>("Color",colorEnt.ID);
gallery.color = reference;
Gallery entity = await entityCollection.SaveAsync(gallery);
Let me know if require more detail.
