Developing Interactive User Interfaces:
Witness the creation of interactive user interfaces with .NET MAUI for managing product data. We'll take you through the development of essential content pages, including 'MainPage' and 'AddEditProduct,' ensuring a seamless user experience.
Handling CRUD Operations [.NET MAUI Web API Crud]:
Explore the implementation of CRUD operations-Create, Read, Update, and Delete-within your .NET MAUI app. Discover how to add, edit, and delete products with real-time interactions between your application and the Web API.
Utilizing Dependency Injection [.NET MAUI Web API Consume]:
Understand the importance of dependency injection and witness its application in integrating the API Client Service. Configure the dependency services, ensuring a smooth flow of data between your .NET MAUI app and the Web API.
Real-Time Testing in the Emulator [Call Web API From .NET MAUI]:
Follow along as we run the application in the emulator, showcasing real-time interactions between the .NET MAUI app and the API (.Net MAUI Web API Call). Witness the seamless integration and effective communication between the two components which will show you the Web API Call in .Net MAUI App.
Troubleshooting and Debugging:
Encounter common issues and explore debugging techniques to ensure a smooth development process. Learn how to handle errors and optimize your .NET MAUI app for robust performance.
Educational Resources [MAUI C# API Example]:
For those interested in further exploration, we've included examples of C# API calls [MAUI C# API Call Example Code] in our GitHup, providing a hands-on learning experience. Additionally, find example codes for API controllers (MAUI C# API Controller) and gain insights into best practices.

Really very valuable collections. Thank you very much for your efforts and time.👍

[@CodingDroplets]

You're very welcome! I'm thrilled to hear that you found the tutorial valuable.

[@MSNarayan-er9xz]

I was waited for this a long time, thanks a lot sir.

[@CodingDroplets]

You're very welcome! I'm glad the tutorial was something you've been looking forward to.

I'm getting freez on android, looks like 10.0.2.2 doesn't work, how can I check if this address is proper? I've tested it in emulators web browser and it couldn't reach it, when I use localhost and switch to windows it works great. Any ideas?

[@CodingDroplets]

On Android emulators, 10.0.2.2 is the correct address to reach your local machine, but if it's not working, try these steps: - Make sure your API is actually running on your machine and listening on the correct port. Sometimes, firewalls or VPNs block the connection. - Try disabling them temporarily and see if it works. - Instead of 10.0.2.2, try using your local network IP

[@enmingwang6332]

Great tutorial👍👍! One question, in the AddEditProduct page, can we just get apiClient from DI as did in the Mainpage, instead of passing it from the Mainpage? Is there any benefits passing the apiClient from page to page?

[@CodingDroplets]

Thank you for the positive feedback! 😊 Yes, you can definitely retrieve the apiClient from Dependency Injection (DI) directly in the AddEditProduct page, just like in the MainPage. However, you'll need to modify the project accordingly.

[@PhantasyAI0]

Amazing video bro, love your channel!

[@CodingDroplets]

Thank you so much for your kind words and support! Glad to hear that.

[@КамиллаМеликова-ц2й]

Good job! Will it run on Windows Machine?

[@CodingDroplets]

Yes it will

[@huseyintasdemir3484]

I get connection failure error. What could be the problem?

[@CodingDroplets]

Connection problems can have various causes, and diagnosing the issue might require more specific information. Ensure that the connection string is correctly configured with the appropriate database server, credentials, and database name. Look for more details in the exception message or logs. This can provide insights into the specific nature of the connection failure.

[@cocacola7535]

Sir, do you have a video like this (consuming webapi with maui) but also with authentication/authorization?

[@CodingDroplets]

Thanks for your comment! I haven’t covered authentication/authorization yet in MAUI. I'll be doing it soon.

[@cocacola7535]

@@CodingDroplets Thank you. If possible also include authentication with Google because it is commonly used in production.

[@ThatsJoshTyler]

I built a WebAPI using .NET 8 and Azure Cosmos DB.. I had to change some things to make this operate properly. Do you think I could follow this tutorial to consume the API in a .NET Maui Application

[@CodingDroplets]

Yes, you can follow this tutorial to consume your API in a .NET MAUI application.

[@5starsimpact633]

I try to replicate what you explain in this video but I'm getting the exeption when I test run "system.InvalidOperationException: NullabilityInfoContext is not supported in the current application because System.Refletion.NullabilityContext.IsSupported is set to false'

[@CodingDroplets]

What is the dotnet version you are using?

[@5starsimpact633]

V 4.8

[@CodingDroplets]

MAUI needs Dotnet 6 or higher. You can refer the below documentation: dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/platform/support/policy/maui

[@5starsimpact633]

Sorry the .Net is 8.0 , if I can could have send you screanshot

how to do this project with expando object and dynamic object in .net maui

[@CodingDroplets]

Thank you for your question! I'll certainly consider creating a video tutorial that demonstrates how to incorporate ExpandoObject and dynamic objects.

[@davidkim7812]

Please guide how to using web api contoller instead of using class library.

[@CodingDroplets]

The class library in this tutorial is also consuming the API. Developing a class library helps to call the methods easily from any project. You can refer to this video(kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJqYYoV4mMSHobs) to view the API Controller development. This approach allows for better code reusability and separation of concerns.

[@davidkim7812]

Thank you for quick response, I already refered your video and l got how to making web api controller. that was amazing to me. I just wanted to know how to consume web api controller without using class library. Anyway your project is very good. Thank you.

[@CodingDroplets]

You can directly consume the API without using a class library. Just make the HTTP requests in your MAUI project as needed. I'm glad you found the project helpful.

MAUI-:how can download large file in background and show progress bar while downloading.plz make video

[@CodingDroplets]

Thank you for your suggestion! Downloading large files in the background and showing a progress bar in a MAUI app is a great topic, and I appreciate your interest. I'll definitely consider creating a tutorial on this in an upcoming video. Implementing file downloads with progress tracking involves a few components, such as background tasks, progress reporting, and user interface updates. I'll make sure to cover these aspects in a clear and comprehensive manner.
