I'm developing an application with windows-10-t platform on raspberry-pi3. The application has several pages and listens GPIO ports asyncrhonously in the background. It collects data from GPIO and sends to the WCF-Service, after a bit the UI should be updated by the data coming from the WCFService. I've also tried using Tasks, Dispatcher.Invoke etc. but nothing worked properly. I can collect data coming from GPIO but cannot update UI. What am I doing wrong?
Here is the background GPIO listener class with static variables (I'm listening GPIO in other pages too.):
public sealed class GPIO{
private static MainPage mainpage;
public static event EventHandler ProgressUpdate;
public static void InitGPIO(MainPage sender)
{
mainpage = sender;
DataPin.DebounceTimeout = TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(50);
DataPin.ValueChanged += DataPin_ValueChanged;
}
public static void DataPin_ValueChanged(GpioPin sender, GpioPinValueChangedEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Edge == GpioPinEdge.FallingEdge)
{
Task.Run(() => AddData(0));
}
}
public static async void AddData(int prm_Data)
{
// WCF-Service Operation
await Service.wsClient.GPIOValueAddition(prm_Data);
GPIO.ProgressUpdateOperation();
}
private static void ProgressUpdateOperation()
{
mainpage.GPIO_ProgressUpdate(typeof(GPIO), new EventArgs());
}
}
And here is the page that contains the UI to be updated:
public sealed partial class MainPage : Page
{
public MainPage()
{
GPIO.InitGPIO(this);
GPIO.ProgressUpdate += GPIO_ProgressUpdate;
}
public void GPIO_ProgressUpdate(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
// WCF-Service Operation
service_data = (int)Service.wsClient.GetDataFromServicetoUpdateUI(parameter).Result;
// UI-update
txtUpdate.Text = service_data.ToString();
}
}
EDIT: I forgot to add the exception. "The application called an interface that was marshalled for a different thread. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8001010E (RPC_E_WRONG_THREAD))" exception is thrown at AddData function called in DataPin_Valuechanged.
I found the solution in here : https://stackoverflow.com/a/27698035/1093584
Here is the new update-UI function :
public void GPIO_ProgressUpdate(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
await Windows.ApplicationModel.Core.CoreApplication.MainView.CoreWindow.Dispatcher.RunAsync(CoreDispatcherPriority.Normal, async () =>
{
service_data = await Service.wsClient.GetDataFromServicetoUpdateUI(parameter);
// UI-update
txtUpdate.Text = service_data.ToString();
});
}
