I am currently working on a UI for an application and I want to align the following label Text automatically horizontally, so I wanted to test, how I can align text normally.
The Label Documentation of Maui state, that I have to do it with the HorizontalTextAlignment Element. I tried it several times and it worked, but here it won't:
<CollectionView Grid.Row="1" BackgroundColor="Black">
<CollectionView.ItemsSource>
<x:Array Type="{x:Type models:MessageModel}">
<models:MessageModel Message="Hallo" Created="01.01.2001 00:00:00"/>
<models:MessageModel Message="Hey na!" Created="01.01.2001 00:00:00"/>
</x:Array>
</CollectionView.ItemsSource>
<CollectionView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate x:DataType="models:MessageModel">
<Label HorizontalTextAlignment="End" TextColor="White" Text="{Binding Created}"/>
</DataTemplate>
</CollectionView.ItemTemplate>
</CollectionView>
The Output is the following (And yeah I could use one Label, but I wanted to try both ways):
Edit: adding the following Element HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand" at the label + a Background Color:
Edit2:
I have been dipping my toes in the .NET Maui framework, but unfortunately so far it has been quite disappointing. There seem to be multiple errors related to Shell (title view not working properly) and controls themselves. I have the following main page xaml file:
<ContentPage xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/dotnet/2021/maui"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
x:Class="MauiApp1.MainPage">
<StackLayout Background="#111111" >
<Frame HasShadow="True" Margin="10" CornerRadius="10" BackgroundColor="#222222">
<StackLayout Spacing="30">
<Grid ColumnDefinitions="30,*">
<Label Text="R" FontSize="Medium" TextColor="White" />
<Slider GridLayout.Column="1" MinimumTrackColor="Red" ThumbColor="Red" MaximumTrackColor="#AAAAAA" />
</Grid>
<Grid ColumnDefinitions="30,*">
<Label Text="G" FontSize="Medium" TextColor="White" />
<Slider GridLayout.Column="1" MinimumTrackColor="#7FFF00" ThumbColor="#7FFF00" MaximumTrackColor="#AAAAAA" />
</Grid>
</StackLayout>
</Frame>
</StackLayout>
</ContentPage>
which is just a stack layout with a single frame that houses two sliders with labels. However, the two sliders seem to have a predefined width, as they are not filling the remaining space:
As soon as I add anything to any of the controls in the xaml while the app is running, for example a green background to the first grid, both sliders resize to the correct size:
However, when I reload the application with this change, the sliders go back to the wrong size:
There are additional issues that I encountered as well, when placing this content page as a flyout item in the shell where android behaviour was as described here, but additionally the Sliders are not interactable in Windows version. In this example with a clean project they do work in Windows version.
Try with any third-party packages like syncfusion, etc. to meet your requirements.
I have a problem. I used the following code to create a Floating Action Button Menu: https://github.com/Polarts/CrossFAB
Now, I added it to my code like this:
<ContentPage.Content>
<AbsoluteLayout VerticalOptions="FillAndExpand" HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand">
<ScrollView Orientation="Vertical" AbsoluteLayout.LayoutBounds="0,0,1,1"
AbsoluteLayout.LayoutFlags="All">
<StackLayout Orientation="Vertical">
<Label Text="Undone" TextColor="Black" FontSize="26" FontAttributes="Bold" Margin="10" />
</StackLayout>
</ScrollView>
<c:FloatingMenu Margin="0, 0, 10, 10" BGColor="Gray" OpenIcon="Share.png" CloseIcon="X.png"
AbsoluteLayout.LayoutBounds="0,0,1,1" AbsoluteLayout.LayoutFlags="All">
<c:FloatingButton x:Name="FB" BGColor="Blue" IconSrc="Facebook.png"/>
<c:FloatingButton x:Name="TW" BGColor="White" IconSrc="Twitter.png"/>
<c:FloatingButton x:Name="TB" BGColor="Navy" IconSrc="Tumblr.png"/>
</c:FloatingMenu>
</AbsoluteLayout>
</ContentPage.Content>
I used an AbsoluteLayout, because the FloatingMenu needs to be in the bottom right corner, but the problem is that right now, I can use the Floating Action Button, but the scroll of the ScrollView isn't working. When I put the FloatingMenu code above the ScrollView, the FloatingMenu stops working and I can only scroll.
How can I use both items for clicks?
When you set the AbsoluteLayout.LayoutBounds="0,0,1,1" and AbsoluteLayout.LayoutFlags="All" on a view, you're saying that you want you want the view to start in the top left corner and you want it to take up the full width and height of the view.
Since you set the LayoutBounds on both your views to this, you essentially have two views that take up the entire screen stacked on top of each other. You can test this out by adding a background color to either of the views and see what happens. Because of this, whichever view you put second is getting the touches, because it's the one on top.
If you want your FloatingMenu to be in the bottom right hand corner, you need to fix the layout bounds on that view to reflect that.
Something like this might get you started:
<c:FloatingMenu
Margin="0, 0, 10, 10"
BGColor="Gray"
OpenIcon="Share.png"
CloseIcon="X.png"
AbsoluteLayout.LayoutBounds=".95,.95,50,50"
AbsoluteLayout.LayoutFlags="PositionProportional">
This says that we want to put the view 95% over and 95% down the screen with a set width and height of 50. We say PositionProportional because we want the position, the first 2 numbers to be read as a proportion, not as absolute values.
You may also need to adjust the layout of the Floating Menu view. I suspect you're doing something like EndAndExpand for your Vertical and Horiztonal options that may not work like you expect when you fix the absolute layout.
Make sure to also take a look at the documentation on AbsoluteLayout.
PositionProportional, indicates that the x and y values will be
interpreted as proportional, while the size values are interpreted as
absolute.
A position of (0,0) puts the child in the upper-left corner, while a position of (1,1) puts the child in the lower-right corner, and a position of (0.5,0.5) centers the child within the AbsoluteLayout.
So you could try to change like below:
<ContentPage.Content>
<AbsoluteLayout VerticalOptions="FillAndExpand" HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand">
<ScrollView Orientation="Vertical" AbsoluteLayout.LayoutBounds="0,0,1,1"
AbsoluteLayout.LayoutFlags="All">
<StackLayout Orientation="Vertical">
<Label Text="Undone" TextColor="Black" FontSize="26" FontAttributes="Bold" Margin="10" />
</StackLayout>
</ScrollView>
<c:FloatingMenu Margin="0, 0, 10, 10" BGColor="Gray" OpenIcon="Share.png" CloseIcon="X.png"
AbsoluteLayout.LayoutBounds="1,1" AbsoluteLayout.LayoutFlags="PositionProportional">
<c:FloatingButton x:Name="FB" BGColor="Blue" IconSrc="Facebook.png"/>
<c:FloatingButton x:Name="TW" BGColor="White" IconSrc="Twitter.png"/>
<c:FloatingButton x:Name="TB" BGColor="Navy" IconSrc="Tumblr.png"/>
</c:FloatingMenu>
</AbsoluteLayout>
</ContentPage.Content>
Hopefully this makes sense, as it's quite bizarre to me.
Essentially the problem I have is Font Awesome appears to override certain words with icons which I do not want happening - this is all done in XAML. I only want to use Font Awesome if I'm referencing the unicode directly otherwise I want to see the word I actually type.
I'm not entirely sure how to get around this right now, as any reference I find between Xamarin Forms and Font Awesome online it's generally people struggling to get FA working; which is not my current issue.
<Button Style="{StaticResource FontAwesome}" Text=" Sort By" />
Following the code above, I expect to ONLY see the SortBy icon at the start of my Text property - where I reference the code starting & and ending ;
This works fine - however I also get the same icon when I type "Sort", which I do not want.
EDIT
I've decided to use a Frame to get around this minor issue.
<Frame BackgroundColor="#f99000" HasShadow="False" Margin="5, 10" Padding="10">
<Frame.GestureRecognizers>
<TapGestureRecognizer Tapped="OnSortBy" />
</Frame.GestureRecognizers>
<StackLayout Orientation="Horizontal">
<Label Style="{StaticResource FALIExtendedWhite}" Text="" VerticalTextAlignment="Center" HorizontalOptions="End" />
<Label Text="Sort By" VerticalTextAlignment="Center" HorizontalOptions="CenterAndExpand" TextColor="White" />
</StackLayout>
</Frame>
Hi I am working in shoping app and design like, I have already used tint image:
How I can do that, I I can create a circel like this image
I am not sure why you are not using icons from the resources or get the images from rest api.
This is only needed if you want to create dynamic icons.
If that is the case, use a Frame and put the image on it.
<Frame CornerRadius="15" AbsoluteLayout.LayoutBounds="120, 10, 30, 30" Padding="5" VerticalOptions = "FillAndExpand" HasShadow= "false" BackgroundColor="red" >
<StackLayout Orientation="Vertical" Spacing="0" HorizontalOptions="Center" VerticalOptions="Center">
<Label Text="1" VerticalTextAlignment="Center" HorizontalOptions="Center" />
</StackLayout>
</Frame>
the important thing to note is that , "cornerRadius" should be help the size of "AbsoluteLayout.LayoutBounds" width and size.
