Xamarin.Forms Formatted text

In this post I will write about Formatted text, this is very useful when you want to have different colors or styles in the same label. Actually Label have property FormattedText that allow to put text with different styles in the same. To do it, you need to add a List of Span, each Span has four properties, you can use all or only one, depends of you.

  • Text 
  • Font 
  • ForegroundColor 
  • BackgroundColor

Now a small Example of it:
Code:
public class TestPage : ContentPage
    {
        public TestPage ()
        {
            FormattedString fs = new FormattedString ();
            fs.Spans.Add (new Span(){Text="Hello "});
            fs.Spans.Add (new Span(){Text="Xamarin Forms ", FontSize=12, FontAttributes=FontAttributes.Bold});
            fs.Spans.Add (new Span(){Text="Is awesome!!",ForegroundColor=Color.Green});

            Content = new StackLayout { 
                Children = {
                    new Label { FormattedText=fs,
                        HorizontalOptions=LayoutOptions.Center,
                        VerticalOptions=LayoutOptions.CenterAndExpand,
                            
                    }
                }
            };
        }
    }


And code working in iOS and Android:

Entry Show/Hide Password on Xamarin.Forms

Imagen
Hello, in this post i will talk about a way of how to implement a Show/Hide password on Entry control. In our Xamarin.Forms project, we add  a CustomRender for iOS, and  for Android we are using a Effects in order of have a result almost equals. I'm gonna start with the iOS functionality, so I will add a class render: using System ; using Xamarin.Forms ; namespace ShowHidePasswordEntryXF { public class ShowHidePasswordEntry : Entry { public ShowHidePasswordEntry () { } public string EntryText { get ; set ; } } } After that, in the iOS project, i will create the renderer, in which I add a UIButton and add a EventHandler in order to know if the user want to look the password or not: buttonRect . TouchUpInside   +=   ( object   sender ,   EventArgs   e1 )   = >                  {                      if   ( Control . SecureTextEntry )                      {                          Control . SecureTextEntry   =   false ;

Hello, in this post we gonna be look how we can use a Frame in Xamarin.Forms This simple rectangular view sometimes is very usefull for presentation purposes. The first, we add a new Page, called FramePage. in the constructor we add a new View, the Frame View, also we declare some properties, like OutlineColor, and if we want that has Shadow around of the frame:              this . Content   =   new  Xamarin . Forms . Frame   {              // It   has   a   few  properties                 OutlineColor = Color . Blue ,                 HasShadow = true , } So, to avoid that the frame fill all the page, we add the properties to center the frame inside of the page:                 HorizontalOptions = LayoutOptions . CenterAndExpand ,                 VerticalOptions = LayoutOptions . CenterAndExpand , And for last, we add the content of the frame, in this case we add a single Label, Content =   new   Label {                     Text = " This   is

In this post, we gonna be see, the Picker Control in Xamarin.Forms The picker is a control that allows select one element from a predetermined list of options. The first thing that we need to do, is create a instance of Picker:             Xamarin . Forms . Picker   picker   =   new  Xamarin . Forms . Picker              {                 Title  =   " Chose   one   country " ,                 VerticalOptions  =   LayoutOptions . CenterAndExpand ,                 BackgroundColor = Color .

Add   ( " USA " ) ;              picker . Items . Add   ( " Mexico " ) ;              picker . Items . Add   ( " Brasil " ) ;              picker . Items .
