I want to do exactly like the top app bar in the Microsoft weather app. On the home page top app bar (Forecast page) there is an ellipsis button that when you click on it, the buttons expand downward to show the text description of the buttons - in this case the add to favorites button.
I tried using a flyout, but the effect is totally different.
Furthermore using a regular CommandBar with AppBar buttons achieves a similar result, but the entire width of the CommandBar expands and contracts - whereas I only want the portion that contains the text to expand and contract.
put this in your root of the Page:
<CommandBar VerticalAlignment="Top" HorizontalAlignment="Right">
<AppBarButton Icon="Accept" Label="Testing"/>
</CommandBar>

I'm adding a button to a linear layout and it does not show up. Main XML after adding button last button:
Preview button does not show:
I use AIDE as well, it isn't quite reliable. Nor is its Design preview. So, basically, if your codes are correct just build the app and see what happens.
There are no place for the third button.
Reduce string length in android:text of all buttons and check that button appears, or make linearlayout orientation vertical and check.
You must learn about "weight" attribute...
I am new to Xamarin and want to develop an Xamarin.Form Portable App.For that, I have created the project template as Xamarin.Form Portable.
After login, I have successfully created a Master Detail Page to display the Menu List like Home, AboutUs, ContactUs links in the left corner which is initially hide and when i click on the Menu Icon (Menu Icon is like three dashes(-) in parallel) all Menu List is populated to the right side in window. Now when i click on any Menu Item,I don't want to repeat the menu list or its icon in the inner pages. Instead of that, I want Navigation back arrow button instead of the Menu Icon. When I tried to navigate it like below it gives me error like "PushAsync is not supported globally on iOS/Android, please use a NavigationPage"
await Navigation.PushAsync(new AboutUs());
If instead of this, I navigate it to the master detail page and set the About Us page as Detail property of the Master Detail Page then Menu Icon and Menu list will be reapeated which i don't want. Please help me how can i show the navigate the page with Back Arrow button in inner pages.
Overall, I want functionality like in Gmail where when we open any Detail of Email Menu button is not there but the back arrow button is there.
Thanks in advance!
Try this approach(Because DetailPage must be NavigationPage in Xamarin.Forms):
await Navigation.PushAsync(new NavigationPage(new AboutUs()));
I am trying to configure a button within my UWP app to expand in to an AutoSuggestBox on click. This behavior is mentioned in this post:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/controls-and-patterns/search#Implementation
I tried utilizing a flyout on the button click, but it doesn't give me the desired effect. Is there an existing control that can do this or will I need to roll my own XAML of an existing control?
The behavior you see in the blogpost can be easily achieved by having an autosuggestbox hidden behind the button, then after on button click fading out the button and resizing the autosuggestbox to the desired width.
There's no way to "expand" a control into a different one, but you can make it look like that happens :)
I'm building my first Universal Windows Platform (UWP) App and am trying to implement the popular "Hamburger Menu" using the SplitView class.
Inspired by many samples, the items hosted on the SplitView pane are re-styled RadioButton controls, with a vertical highlight-rectangle, an icon and a text. The appearance is similar to that of the Groove app.
I'm now trying to implement navigation and selection using the keyboard, and this now bring a little focus-rect around the items in the SplitView pane. However, since the pane clips its contents when its DisplayMode is either CompactInline or CompactOverlay, the focus rectangle is also clipped, which is not the behavior a user would expect.
Please, can anyone advise on how to property display the focus rectangle in this situation ?
Just an idea, what if you set the width of all radio button's to be same as the CompactPaneLength property of SplitView. The default is 48 DIPs.
I'm looking at different variations of login screens which have material design elements.
I found the Inbox app quite interesting.
The toolbar (action bar) appears to be mid screen. And the (action bar) snaps up to the right position when editing text.
Questions:
Is this a standard behaviour across 5.0?
How do they achieve this?
The UI element you are seeing on the top, playing the role of an ActionBar is actually the Toolbar widget.
A Toolbar is a generalization of action bars for use within application layouts. While an action bar is traditionally part of an Activity's opaque window decor controlled by the framework, a Toolbar may be placed at any arbitrary level of nesting within a view hierarchy. An application may choose to designate a Toolbar as the action bar for an Activity using the setActionBar() method.
You can have multiple toolbars in an Activity. The toolbars can have different heights. The standard height of the toolbar in portrait is 56dp.
Update:
Default height:
Mobile Landscape: 48dp
Mobile Portrait: 56dp
Tablet/Desktop: 64dp
For extended app bars, the height is equal to the default height plus content increment(s).
You can read more from the Material design specification.
For implementing it you just set the layout_height attribute in the layout file. Of course extracting the number as a dimension resource is always a good idea.
