The most wanted piece Since the Xamarin.Forms: it works post, this feature was the most wanted piece. Hi Roubachof, Hope all is well. I can across your sharpnado site and was impressed with what you were doing with xamrin and SkiaSharp. I'm trying to implement something similar with my

Previously, I wrote about combining Xamarin.Forms and SkiaSharp to create a cross-platform imaging app. SkiaSharp offers a number of different approaches for accessing pixel data. I went with the most performant approach for doing this, which is to use the GetPixels method to return a pointer to the pixel data, dereference the pointer whenever you want to read/write a pixel value, and use pointer arithmetic to move the pointer to other pixels.

Sometimes when developing Xamarin.Forms user interfaces you get to a point where you just need to handle the drawing yourself, and for that SkiaSharp is invaluable. And that’s one of the core pieces of this UI Challenge, using SkiaSharp to create controls that are unlike any other. First, I should mention that this amazing design concept that we are reproducing was created by Ionut Zamfir over at Dribbble.

In creating an IOBluetooth binding for Xamarin Mac I learned about Objective Sharpie and binding libraries. There is little documentation on this but it is fairly similar to Xamarin iOS and for that there is a lot more source material. The output from Objective Sharpie gives you binding definitions which you can use in a … Continue reading Xamarin macOS Binding Libraries →

This week marked the launch of Xamarin.Essentials 1.2 packed full of new enhancements and optimizations.

Google announced all Android app should support 64-bit architectures from Aug 1, 2019. 64-bit CPUs deliver faster, richer experiences for your users. Google Play will continue to support 32-bit apps for now, but as of August 1, 2019 all new apps and updates that include native code must have 64-bit versions as well as 32-bit versions when publishing to Google Play. This ruling applies to apps written in native, Xamarin or apps with links to third-party native libraries.

As you might have read, Xamarin recently released the first of its Xcode 11 previews, which provide early access to in-progress Xamarin bindings for the new iOS and macOS SDKs. These are useful if you want to start working with new and updated frameworks like Sign in with Apple, PencilKit, SoundAnalysis and ARKit3 - all of which except for the latter are baked into the first preview. Even if you don't want to work with new frameworks, these previews let you test how your apps behave when targeting iOS13 - so you can find out whether changes like UIViewController.

Back in the Xamarin.Forms 1.x days, I attempted to show the power of Xamarin.Forms development by writing a cross-platform imaging app. This was a mistake. While I produced a working cross-platform app, the majority of the code was platform code, joined together through DependencyService calls from a shared UI. If anything, it showed that it wasn’t easily possible to create a cross-platform imaging app with shared code.

It's inevitable that, as a mobile app developer, you will need to show a loading indicator in your app. These are mostly used to inform users that the application needs to do some "thinking" and the users are required to wait until the process is completed.

About two years ago I wrote some samples that demonstrate using Xamarin.Forms to implement OAuth 2.0 for Native Apps. This spec represents the best practices for OAuth 2.0 authentication flows from mobile apps. These include:Authentication requests should only be made through external user agents, such as the browser. This results in better security, and enables use of the user’s current authentication state, making single sign-on possible.

Det är snart dags för semester, men innan det passar Daniel och Johan på att prata genom vad som är nytt i Xamarin.Forms.

One of the things I really like about web development, is the usage of the background-position CSS property. It allows you to move a background image around within its container. jFancyTile: A jQuery tile shifting image viewer plugin, realies heavily on this technique. Sadly, Xamarin doesn’t have a property like CSS that we can use out-of-the-box to recreate that effect. But, with some help of FFImageLoading, we can get the same results.

Xamarin.Forms 4.1 was released on Monday, and as well as new functionality such as CheckBox, it includes a number of updates to CollectionView. The main CollectionView updates are outlined below. Item Spacing By default, each item in a CollectionView lacks empty space around it. This can now be changed by setting properties on the items layout used by the CollectionView. For a ListItemsLayout, set the ItemSpacing property to a double that represents the empty space around each item.

Crossplatform local network browsing and media playback One of the great features of libvlc is that it can play all sorts of network streams. This is possible thanks to a huge number of supported network protocols. Classic network protocols such as FTP, HTTP, RTP and RTSP are well supported, but what about the usual media servers / network shares protocols? Browsing your own medialibrary at home Home media servers, NAS and other network shares most frequently communicate through SMB or UPnP.
