How to make paddings for the source image inside image button?
UPDATE:
<ImageButton Source="cell_arrow_right.png" IsVisible="{Binding IsNotLeaf}"
VerticalOptions="Center" HorizontalOptions="Center"
WidthRequest="40" HeightRequest="40" Aspect="Fill"
Clicked="ImageButton_Clicked" Margin="0, 0, 15, 0"
BackgroundColor="Transparent" BorderColor="Accent"
BorderWidth="1" Scale="0.9" CornerRadius="5" />
I tried to use Padding, not working.. It just moves the source image. Also I tried to edit margin - still no result.
Now I've just edited the image itself, made it with paddings. But that's bad decision..(
I suspect the problem is actually HorizontalOptions and VerticalOptions, both are set to Center, which will position the ImageButton in the center of it's containing element.
Try removing them completely (they default to HorizontalOptions=Fill, same for vertical). Or you could try:
<ImageButton VerticalOptions="Start" HorizontalOptions="Start" Margin="10" />
This will give a margin of 10 around the ImageButton and position the image at the start of its containing element (horizontally and vertically, ie Top and Left).
Padding represents the distance between an element and it's child elements.
Margin represents the distance between an element and adjacent elements.
There is a good guide here.

I have a StackLayout containing some ImageButtons, the buttons have a BorderWidth of 5.
On UWP, the border appears with the image scaled to fit inside. On Android, the border doesn't appear at all, and the image flows into it space.
UWP (correct):
Android (no border):
My XAML looks like this
<StackLayout
x:Name="titlebar"
Orientation="Horizontal"
BackgroundColor="{x:DynamicResource TitleBarColor}">
...
<ImageButton
x:Name="menu"
HeightRequest="25" WidthRequest="25"
HorizontalOptions="End"
BorderWidth="5"
BackgroundColor="{x:DynamicResource TitleBarColor}"
Source="{local:ImageResource CloudTest.Assets.icons.more_menu_white.png}"
Clicked="OnMenuClicked" />
</StackLayout>
In Android, I've found that it only works if you set both BorderWidth and BorderColor(could not Transparent).
and you also could set the Padding or Marginto the ImageButton to achieve to the effect.
<ImageButton
x:Name="menu"
HeightRequest="25" WidthRequest="25"
HorizontalOptions="End"
Padding ="5" //or Margin ="5"
BackgroundColor="{x:DynamicResource TitleBarColor}"
Source="{local:ImageResource CloudTest.Assets.icons.more_menu_white.png}"
Clicked="OnMenuClicked" />
Update (The yellow area is your ImageButton):
When using Margin,refers to the distance between the control and a sibling control :
Padding ,refers to the internal content of the control, such as the margin of the text/image distance from the control
so when you use the padding,you will see the space inside the image and when you use the margin,the space outside the image .
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>
I'm using the list View in XAML, and using below codw to draw a rectangular box, I want to place a 2 letter alphabets inside the box like windows phone contacts they palce alphabets inside the rectangle box. Is there any way to place a text inside rectangle box
<BoxView Color="Green" WidthRequest="50" HeightRequest="20" HorizontalOptions="Start">
You want to replicate what it looks like on WinPhone.
(Sorry no code, I don't have my computer with me)
Use a flattened Frame (HasShadows=false, CornerRadius=0)
Set the Padding=10, Margin=3 (breathing room),
BackgroundColor=Green
Put a Label inside the Frame
Set FontSize=25, TextColor=White, Center it (Horizontal and
Vertical Alignment), FontAttributes=Bold
Hope this helps.
You can use like this
<StackLayout Padding="1" BackgroundColor="Black" HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand" VerticalOptions="FillAndExpand">
<StackLayout BackgroundColor="White" HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand" >
<Label Text="Sample" TextColor="Black" HorizontalTextAlignment="Start"/>
</StackLayout>
</StackLayout>
May this will solve the problem.
I am using ImageCircle plugin for xamarin forms
and it works well sometimes, when the picture is a kind of square...
But, when it's a rectangle, my image is resized and it's not that I planned
what Can I do to the image stop resize?
my code
<controls:CircleImage WidthRequest="75" HeightRequest="75" Grid.Row ="0" Grid.Column="1" Source="cadastrarPhoto.png" x:Name="cadastrar_foto_perfil">
I seted a fix height and width as you can see, but it didn't solve my problem, maybe because this circle image is a child of a grid and its grandfather (lol) is a relative layout but I really don't know if WidthRequest can change because of that...
How it always should be
How it is when the image is a rectangle:
EDIT---------------------------------------------
I put it in a Stach layout and I defined Aspect as fit...it helped but didnt solve...
<StackLayout Orientation="Horizontal" HorizontalOptions="Center" WidthRequest="75" HeightRequest="75" Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="1">
<controls:CircleImage Aspect="AspectFit" VerticalOptions="EndAndExpand" HorizontalOptions="EndAndExpand" Source="cadastrarPhoto.png" x:Name="cadastrar_foto_perfil">
<controls:CircleImage.GestureRecognizers>
<TapGestureRecognizer Tapped="ChamaPickerImage"/>
</controls:CircleImage.GestureRecognizers>
</controls:CircleImage>
</StackLayout>
I changed the api that I was using.
Now I use ffimage
Setting your HorizontalOptions="EndAndExpand" is what is causing you issues.
Instead, try setting both HorizontalOptions and VerticalOptions to a vaule that doesn't expand (Start, Center, End)
Note: I've noticed that you actually have to explicitly set HorizontalOptions to something that doesn't expand in order to get iOS to avoid stretching your CircleImage. Simply leaving it blank will default to stretching the image.
In the image, instead of HorizontalOptions="EndAndExpand" or VerticalOptions="EndAndExpand", just set it as "Start", "Center" or "End".
By default if you set it as "xxExpand" or do not set it at all, Xamarin iOS expands the image...
I'm working with a toggle button and rather than show text I want to show an image so I have this:
<ToggleButton Grid.Column="1" IsChecked="true" MinWidth="50" MinHeight="0" BorderThickness="0" HorizontalAlignment="Center">
<Image Source="ms-appx:///Assets/Icons/phonebutton.png" Stretch="None" RenderTransformOrigin="0.5,0.5" Margin="0">
<Image.RenderTransform>
<CompositeTransform ScaleX="0.5" ScaleY="0.5"/>
</Image.RenderTransform>
</Image>
</ToggleButton>
I have the transform to make the image a bit smaller so it's "inside" the button instead of filling it.
However, no matter what I do the button has a large padding around the image, even though the image itself has no margins or padding. I've set margin=0 on everything but the ToggleButton insists on putting space around the image, so the button is larger than it needs to be and cuts off inside the grid row it's in (which has a height="*")
I want the toggle button to "shrink" to fit in the row but still show the full image inside ...
while typing this the autosuggest found this link ToggleButton does not fill the area(windows phone) and by adding the style PhoneTouchTargetOverhang it does look better but then cuts off the image at the bottom unless I add negative padding to the togglebutton.
Anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong?
Is there any way to disable it?
I have added the following margin to an image of 512x512:
<Image Source="/Assets/award4.png" Stretch="None" RenderTransformOrigin="0.5,0.5" Margin="-100,0,-100,0">
<Image.RenderTransform>
<CompositeTransform ScaleX="0.5" ScaleY="0.5"/>
</Image.RenderTransform>
</Image>
And it fits centered
