README

Xamarin.Build.AsyncTask

Provides the AsyncTask to streamline the creation of long-running tasks that are cancellable and don't block the UI thread in Visual Studio.

Building

ild /t:restore && msbuild

That's it.

Installation

all-package Xamarin.Build.AsyncTask

If you're creating a custom task library, just inherit from Xamarin.Build.AsyncTask.

If you're creating an inline task that wants to inherit from AsyncTask, use the following as a template:

singTask TaskName="MyAsyncTask" TaskFactory="CodeTaskFactory" AssemblyFile="$(MSBuildToolsPath)\Microsoft.Build.Tasks.Core.dll">
<ParameterGroup>
  <!-- TODO: your task parameters -->
</ParameterGroup>
<Task>
  <Reference Include="$(AsyncTask)" />
  <Reference Include="System.Threading.Tasks"/>
  <Code Type="Class" Language="cs">
    <![CDATA[
    public class MyAsyncTask : Xamarin.Build.AsyncTask
    {
      public override bool Execute()
      {
        System.Threading.Tasks.Task.Run(async () =>
        {
          // TODO: do something long-running
          await System.Threading.Tasks.Task.Delay(5000);

          // Invoke Complete to signal you're done.
          Complete();
        });            

        return base.Execute();
      }
    }
    ]]>
  </Code>
</Task>
