In Xamarin.Forms, the Grid is a powerful layout container where we can use rows and columns to place controls. Historically, we would declare our rows and columns using the Grid.RowDefinitions or Grid.ColumnDefinitions properties. To create a row or column, we would define a new RowDefinition or ColumnDefinition element and specify its size: <Grid VerticalOptions="FillAndExpand"> <Grid.

Xamarin recently added new functionality for developers to build mobile apps: Xamarin.Forms Shapes. As the name suggest, it allows developers to create shapes without being restricted to rectangles or ellipses. At this time, this power is only unleashed when setting the “Shapes_Experimental“-flag but it has some great potential. I wanted to build something using Shapes and went looking for some design inspiration.

When developing mobile applications, dialogs are a foundational building block in our tool-belt. We can use dialogs to show a confirmation message, to indicate when the app is working or even display a rich input form that appears over our main user interface. As this article is intended for absolute beginners, we'll introduce the core concepts and terminology for using dialogs, get you started with the most current dialog frameworks and provide a quick reference on the main dialog types.

When we are developing an application it is normal that we need to transfer data of the same type, as we already know to do this, we use Data Bindings. Doing this is very easy, especially if we can do the conversion implicitly. But what happens when we want to pass data with different values? To do it we use…Continue Reading→

I love async await ! In my opinion, the last time we got something as powerful as this was Linq. Of course, without Tasks it would not be as interesting as it is today. If you have never heard of it, async await is basically a syntaxic sugar on steroids and can refer to Microsoft’s documentation to learn more about it (link at the end of this post). A glance at the past Before it was available, on platforms such as Windows Phone or Windows RT, asynchronous programming was done the old way : public class MyService { public void Process() { // Do something in another thread then call the ProcessCompleted event } public event EventHandler ProcessCompleted; } public class MyViewModel { private readonly MyService _myService; public MyViewModel() { _myService = new MyService(); _myService.

If you’re trying to create automated tests for your Xamarin app, you must have stumbled across Xamarin.UITest. It’s a great way to bring the quality of your application to the next level. Just make sure to apply the best practices when using Xamarin.UITest (especially the Page Object Pattern) otherwise your code can get messy really fast. But when everything is set up properly, you can automatically test your application through the UI on over 1000 devices using Visual Studio App Center! When creating a new app in Visual Studio, simply select the checkbox “Add an automated UI Test project” to add an UITest to your application.
