I'm writing custom adaptive card in typescript, and I need stylized buttons. Change font and background color is enough for me.. But I'm not fully understand how to implement custom renderer, can you help me with this?
I found similar post, but I'm not fully understand it, I need more detailed infos
AdaptiveCards - How to customize the color and fonts for Actions on iOS?
thx
i only found similar thread, but don't fully understand it
Just to have a proper answer here, it has been mentioned in other questions before but it is not possible to change the layout of anything AdaptiveCard related if you are not the host, rendering yourself.
The purpose of AdaptiveCards is that the host defines the look and feel so cards always feel as if they're part of the host's UI but you can define the content of the card.
If you want to customize card layout this can only be done if you host a card in your own website, webapp, etc which is totally doable.
In terms of any Microsoft App, Teams, PowerApps etc you can not change the look and feel of AdaptiveCards other than what the cards come with.

I recently started using Xamarin.Forms for a project. Like the documentation mentions, it's great for prototyping. However, I'm really starting to notice limitations of the shared concepts for UI design. In particular, the inability to set custom button content (such as an image) is aggravating. I'm sure there will be several instances where I'll want to change how controls work.
The way I see it, there are two routes I could take. One, continue using Xamarin.Forms and make use of custom renderers. Considering I would still like my UI code to be shared, but also customized from the basic Xamarin.Forms controls, I'm leaning towards this option. Two, use the native Xamarin projects (Xamarin.iOS, Xamarin.Android). This would give me full control over the UI for each platform, but it would also mean more code to maintain.
Like I mentioned, I'm currently favoring the option to use custom renderers with Xamarin.Forms. Could I get some insight from those who have used one or (preferably) both options?
I've mainly used Xamarin.Forms. For the right kinds of apps (ones that are, well, "Forms"-like), it works pretty well.
Writing custom renderers isn't that hard, but the documentation is, unfortunately, not that great. Depending on what you're doing, it can be a bit tricky at times translating between the native control and the Forms layout engine. However once you get the hang of it, it makes sense, and now that the code is open source, you can peek inside to see how the "built-in" controls work.
There are various extensions that add more controls. Some are free and open source, like XLabs.Forms. So the control you need might be out there already.
You can use mechanisms like TapGestureRecognizer to turn an Image or a Label into a button, so just because the built-in Forms Button is really, really lacking in customizability, you can sometimes find other ways to get the same effect and still stay within pure Xamarin.Forms.
Hope that helps!
XamarinForms is good for sample application who don't need to use a lot of specificity of the device.
For complex applications, I advise you to start on Xamarin Ios and Android.
It will take more time to take charge but you will see it is much more permissive
Where do I start if I want to create Facebook app to add an overlay to my profile picture?
I have seen many changing their profile picture like support digital india or pray for french like profile pictures how do they do it?
right now the only way that I know of is through this, https://www.facebook.com/fbcameraeffects/learn/
It's slowly rolling out so it might not be available for you until then. If someone else knows of a way through the API I'd love to know as well.
I have been working on maximo anywhere apps recently and have a requirement to completely change the look and feel of the work execution app, the oslc layer which talks to maximo in the backend remains the same and all the functionalities are the same but there are some new buttons, notification messages and all sorts of UX aspects to be added to the app, I have just started looking at the architecture and code of the app but does anyone know how can I make changes to the front-end or is it even possible? I could find very few documents available online and all of them spoke of customizing features and functionalities but I coudlnot find any document for adding UX aspects.
It would be great someone could point out any documents or kick-off points which I can start looking into.
Thanks.
Thanks for asking, if you're just talking about adding new fields, layouts, screens to the UI, you can do that all through the app.xml, and there are lots of examples on our knowledge center, for example this one:

If you're talking about changing the "look" of the existing widgets, this can all be done through css, by overriding our out of the box css classes. Use Chrome inspector to figure out which css class is being used for each element type, and just override it through standard css approaches.
If you're talking about more advanced customization, for example adding your own new widget types to our screens, it is possible to programmatically instantiate/destroy your own widgets through javascript and add them to our standard application views. This code is usually hooked on the initialize and back event of our views. But you'll be responsible for writing the code to synchronize the data layer with your custom widget. We unfortunately don't have a published example of this customization usecase yet.
We always adding new widget capabilities to our Anywhere UI framework, so I'd love to hear feedback on the new widget types you're interested in.
I am trying to write a simple chrome app to play a sequence of online pictures on my chromecast device.
I have looked at some examples, but could't find anything which I could tweak around to get the simple behavior i needed. Maybe someone here could help, by providing directions or advise on getting started with developing something like that for chromecast.
UPDATE:
To give you a better idea, about the specifics, let me add some more details to my requirements.
It needs to be controlled from chrome
I want to pass a playlist with 10s-100s of images so it can slide them in circles.
After receiving playlist chromecast device should be able to continue on its own, without continuously asking for next image.
This is actually similar to backdrop feature Google is planning to introduce, but I wanted to write something myself.
Thanks
If you don't want to develop your own Cast receiver, then you can use the media namespace channel and the Styled Media Receiver to display a photo at a time:
https://developers.google.com/cast/docs/styled_receiver
You will have to add the logic to advance from photo to photo in your sender app.
If you are willing to develop your own custom receiver, then you can start with this Cast sample app:
https://github.com/googlecast/CastHelloText-android
It allows you to send messages to a custom receiver. You can use that to send the URLs of the photos and then you can add JavaScript logic in the receiver to play a slideshow.
Just to let you know, I have tried various options and ended up writing custom receiver and Chrome sender applications. This was really straightforward and exactly what I wanted.
See the links above for guidance and also examples here.
Hello I have a problem wich I would like to find the perfect solution for it.
I am a publisher in many monetizing platforms like : admob,adfonic..
for example in my main layout.
I declared admob but if I wanna show adfonic I must do a whole update of my app vercion for my users would see adfonic instead.
So is there anyway of control those lines or controling that xml that shows either admob of adfonic ?
Thank you very much
I strongly recommend using a mediation solution like Admob mediation where you can configure which networks to use at runtime.
