What i want in my activity is two buttons on the top in one single line.. and below that i want a framelayout in which i want an imageview and i wil add my custom view on the top of imageview. I tried a lot but i am having a lot of confusion.
Shown in the image below is somewhat like i want.
I want to use framelayout because i want to add my custom view over my imageview. But if i add button on framelayout it comes above the image. It is getting really confusing and messy for me.
I did'nt know that we could nest two layouts in a single activity. I nested LinearLayout with FrameLayout and my problem got solved.. Cheers!

Most of us saw the bottom bar in telegram , facebook messenger .. I think .
What i want to know " how is that bar still appear even if we go to another view ?
Thanks in advance .
After reading your comment I understand what you meant. You may want to learn about Fragments, and FragmentActivity. Basically, you would have multiple fragments for each button on the Bottom Navigation, meaning you would have multiple classes and layouts. Your activity's layout should have a container (above the bottom navigation, in a FrameLayout for example) on which you can attach your Fragment. When you hit a button on the bottom navigation, you switch fragments.
I don't really understand the question but I think you want to know how to use Bottom Navigation. You could use the same component in each layout and select a different item based on the layout. If it's in each layout it will appear on each view.
I am new to Xamarin IOS and I have a problem with creating nested layouts in IOS as like in Android(some text controls and a list view) . I added a tableview but not sure how to add some text and image controls in a view and add the tableview below the text and image controls. Also I am using ViewPager in Android and is there an equivalent control that I can use in IOS?
Yes, you should use UIScrollView and enable paggin there. The only issue that you need always to set the ContentSize for it, to make it scroll properly. So you should set the common Size of inner content.
You should check out monotouch.dialog for rapid tableview development. Once you get the hang of it, it makes creating tables a lot easier.
Can somebody please help me out in designing vertical tabs like in the given pic(taken from hello sms app)
I'm not asking for a code snippet , so please don't ditch this question as a homework type. What I would want to know is the approach that I should take. Do I have extend the stock TabLayout or an existing tablayout with a few styles and UI customizations? Your pointers to the right resource would be of great help. Thanks
you can achieve this using multipane layout in android. on your right side create the listview fragment and right side implement details screen using fragment. if you wants to slide the left side listview use slidepanelayout.
<android.support.v4.widget.SlidingPaneLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/slide"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
>
<fragment android:id="#+id/leftpane"
android:name="com.example.package.left"
android:layout_width="200dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="left" />
<fragment android:id="#+id/rightpane"
android:name="com.example.package.right"
android:layout_width="350dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="right"
android:layout_weight="1"
/>
</android.support.v4.widget.SlidingPaneLayout>
I think this will not be achieved by TabLayout as it only supports Horizontal Orientation.
But you can go with SlidingPanel with NavigationDrawer where you can design DrawerItemLayout as per your requirement and get the exact layout you want.
Please check links #1. & #2.
I think this can reduce your efforts and you can get your task done easily.
No, you dont have to custom any view. You can just
Use RecyclerView for avatars list. If an avatar is selected, just changed background of the selected item to black U shape as in your design.
Use a detail view to display your avatar information.
You cannot use TabLayout here as it would not be appropriate for your purposes. What you could do is to have two layouts - maybe linear (or relative) to basically split the screen into the top part with a layout_weight of maybe 2 and the bottom layout with a layout_weight of 8 (for a 20/80) split.
From here, it's just a matter of designing your layouts. It looks like your top layout holds something like a spinner widget. You could either use this or a list view object. Your bottom layout definitely holds something like a list view. You could implement your own list view widget with some kind of a design in each row or you could have an xml layout file and reference this in your ArrayAdapter. Really, your choices are endless. For the left part of your bottom layout, you could probably use a vertical LinearLayout to hold the images of the people in the conversation.
And also don't forget to hide the ActionBar - if you want that.
what I would do is to split screen in a given ratio into two parts. Insert a list view with an adapter into left hand side and use fragments for the right hand side. But using tables is not a good idea. Using Fragments will make the things way easier. Check this link for an overview. Look at 2.2 and 2.3 sections.
And for the right hand side, inside fragment, you can use another list view with images and text.
You can achieve this by using a NavigationDrawer and a listview inside this navigation drawer.
this listview will be using a seperate xml layout for its row. which will have that image views inside as shown in the screenshot.
This is not a listview, its just a sliding menu. Learn about the sliding menu and you can achieve the design that you want. This will help u. https://github.com/jfeinstein10/SlidingMenu
I've got an layout which i really would like to use but I'm not sure it´s even possible!
I have tried FadingActionbar from github which works when I have a scrollview for content, but when I change to an ViewPager none of my fragments in it seems to load, and I¨m not able to swipe either to the sides or swipe up the top image.
My viewpager will consist of 3 views. One is an scrollview, and 2 of them are listviews.
I hope you understand what I want to achieve :) When swiping up I want the imageview to slide in under the actionbar and then stop when the PagerSlidingTabs are just under the acitonbar.

I am kind of wondering what the recommended method is for a customized UI. I have about 5 screens, which will share some of the same elements. One is a topbar, kind of like the navigationbar but different. It has the title on the left, no back buttons, a background image and a logo on the right. The other is a menu at the bottom containing and UIImageView for the bar, 3 UIButtons a the moment opening 2 different screens and one opens the Camera. I want to reuse the top bar and bottom bar on all 5 screens. Sort of like one would use a UserControl on ASP.NET.
Currently I have created 5 ViewControllers, which gives me 5 XIB files that I have to put the same elements on and I have to hook up the same events. I would want to create 2 elements (top and bottom bar) which I can reuse across all screens. Or is there a simpler solution to all of this like e.g. 1 screen pushing different middle parts into it or something like that? Quite the beginner at MonoTouch for that matter, so I'd love to know what the way-to-go for something like this is?
If you are not able to customise / reuse the standard UINavigationController etc, you could -
Create a custom UIView in Xamarin / Monotouch for each of your reusable elements, then insert them into each ViewController (programmatically is probably easiest) as required. This would give some code reuse and is akin to the UserControl example you mentioned.
Alternatively for IOS5+ you could create a Custom ViewController Container which has all the common parts in one place and have a single container UIView which you would then switch the rest of your Content ViewControllers as you need to.
I have actually just finished a github example of this which may help -
