Monotouch.Dialog : Section font - xamarin.ios

It it possible to access the font and color properties of the section header and footer or do I need to subclass Section? I changed my UI to all black and everything looks great except my section headers and footers.
Reflection API:
class Login
{
public string Version = "1.2.3";
[Section ("Enter your credentials", "Email and password are required")]
[Entry ("Enter your email address")]
public string email;
[Caption ("Password"), Password ("Enter your password")]
public string password;
[OnTap ("Login")]
[Alignment (UITextAlignment.Center)]
public string Logon;
}
Element API:
return new RootElement ("Login") {
new Section() {
new StringElement ("Version", "1.2.3")
},
new Section ("Enter your credentials", "Email and password are required") {
new EntryElement("Email", "Enter your email address", "azcoov"),
new EntryElement("Password", "Enter your password", "password", true),
new StringElement("Logon", Login)
}
}

Section headers and footers can either be specified as strings or UIViews, there is sadly, nothing in between.
If you want to have custom headers/views, you would need to create a UILabel and use that in your constructor to the Section type (only available for the Elements API).
Something like:
var header = new UILabel (new RectangleF (0, 0, 320, 48)){
Font = UIFont.BoldSystemFontOfSize (22),
BackgroundColor = UIColor.Red
}
new Section(header, footer) {
...
}

Using Miguel's answer I was able to get what I needed:
RootElement CreateRoot (String lat, String lng)
{
var header = new UILabel (new RectangleF (0, 0, 320, 48)) {
Font = UIFont.BoldSystemFontOfSize (22),
BackgroundColor = UIColor.Black,
TextColor = UIColor.White,
Text = "This is my header"
};
var footer = new UILabel (new RectangleF (0, 0, 320, 48)) {
Font = UIFont.BoldSystemFontOfSize (22),
BackgroundColor = UIColor.Black,
TextColor = UIColor.White,
Text = "This is my footer"
};
var rootElement = new RootElement ("Location Example"){
new Section (header, footer){
new StyledStringElement("Latitude", lat),
new StyledStringElement ("Longitude", lng)
},
new Section() {
new StringElement ("Get location", GetLocation),
new StringElement ("Clear location", ClearLocation),
new StringElement ("Show on Map", ShowOnMap)
}
};
return rootElement;
}

Custom Toolbar in UINavigation Controller

I am having trouble understanding what approach to take to customize my own Toolbar in Xamarin.ios. The Navigation controller comes with its own default toolbar but how can i change the height and have my own buttons, background image.
What is the best approach for the above ?
You can create a custom navigationBar as you want .
public class xxxViewController: UIViewController
{
public override void ViewWillAppear(bool animated)
{
base.ViewWillAppear(animated);
NavigationController.NavigationBar.Hidden = true;
double height = IsiphoneX();
UIView backView = new UIView()
{
BackgroundColor = UIColor.White,
Frame = new CGRect(0,20,UIScreen.MainScreen.Bounds.Width, height),
};
UIButton backBtn = new UIButton() {
Frame = new CGRect(20, height-44, 40, 44),
Font = UIFont.SystemFontOfSize(18),
} ;
backBtn.SetTitle("Back", UIControlState.Normal);
backBtn.SetTitleColor(UIColor.Blue, UIControlState.Normal);
backBtn.AddTarget(this,new Selector("GoBack"),UIControlEvent.TouchUpInside);
UILabel titleLabel = new UILabel() {
Frame=new CGRect(UIScreen.MainScreen.Bounds.Width/2-75, 0,150, height),
Font = UIFont.SystemFontOfSize(20),
Text = "xxx",
TextColor = UIColor.Black,
Lines = 0,
};
UILabel line = new UILabel() {
Frame = new CGRect(0, height, UIScreen.MainScreen.Bounds.Width, 0.5),
BackgroundColor = UIColor.Black,
};
backView.AddSubview(backBtn);
backView.AddSubview(titleLabel);
backView.AddSubview(line);
View.AddSubview(backView);
}
double IsiphoneX()
{
double height = 44;
if (UIDevice.CurrentDevice.CheckSystemVersion(11, 0))
{
if (UIApplication.SharedApplication.Delegate.GetWindow().SafeAreaInsets.Bottom > 0.0)
{
height = 64;
}
}
return height;
}
[Export("GoBack")]
void GoBack()
{
NavigationController.PopViewController(true);
}
public override void ViewWillDisappear(bool animated)
{
base.ViewWillDisappear(animated);
NavigationController.NavigationBar.Hidden = false;
}
}
You can set the property of title , backButton and navigationBar as you need (such as text , color ,BackgroundColor ,font e.g.)

Control image placement on JTextPane

I am able to add ImageIcons to a JTextPane, but when I add them they show up in the center of the JTextPane. I can't find a way to control where they are placed on the JTextPane. Can someone please help me with this?
This method is making the JTextPane:
private void loadTextPanel(JPanel contentPane) {
chatLogPanel = new JPanel();
chatLogPanel.setLayout(null);
EmptyBorder eb = new EmptyBorder(new Insets(10, 10, 10, 10));
DefaultStyledDocument document = new DefaultStyledDocument();
chatLog = new JTextPane(document);
chatLog.setEditorKit(new WrapEditorKit());
chatLog.setBorder(eb);
chatLog.setMargin(new Insets(5, 5, 5, 5));
chatLogScrollPane = new JScrollPane(chatLog);
addComponent(chatLogPanel, chatLogScrollPane, 0, 0, 500, 240);
addComponent(contentPane, chatLogPanel, 0, 40, 500, 240);
}
This is the code I'm using to add a string to the Panel:
private static void appendToChatLog(JTextPane tp, String msg, Color c) {
chatLog.setEditable(true);
StyleContext sc = StyleContext.getDefaultStyleContext();
AttributeSet aset = sc.addAttribute(SimpleAttributeSet.EMPTY, StyleConstants.Foreground, c);
aset = sc.addAttribute(aset, StyleConstants.FontFamily, "Lucida Console");
aset = sc.addAttribute(aset, StyleConstants.Alignment, Integer.valueOf(3));
int len = tp.getDocument().getLength();
tp.setCaretPosition(len);
tp.setCharacterAttributes(aset, false);
tp.replaceSelection(msg);
chatLog.setEditable(false);
}
And this is what I'm currently using to add the image to the JTextPane:
BufferedImage image = generateBufferedImage(message.getImage());
Icon icon = new ImageIcon(image);
StyleContext context = new StyleContext();
StyledDocument document = (StyledDocument) chatLog.getDocument();
Style labelStyle = context.getStyle(StyleContext.DEFAULT_STYLE);
JLabel label = new JLabel(icon);
StyleConstants.setComponent(labelStyle, label);
try {
document.insertString(document.getLength(), "Ignored", labelStyle);
} catch (BadLocationException badLocationException) {
badLocationException.printStackTrace();
}
To insert a component to a JTextPane, and display it like a character, use the insertComponent method.
To insert an Icon instead, use the insertIcon method.
Quite intuitive isn't it ;)

JavaFX: setting background color for Text controls

I'm using a TextFlow and some Text items to show a styled text, but i cant find a way to set a simple background color for the Text items.
I can set the fill color and font but it does not have a java method or css property that sets its background color.
Based on this solution, this is a quick implementation of a method to provide background coloring for all the Text nodes within a FlowPane, using CSS and the ability to set a series of paint values separated by commas (as much as Text items) and insets for each one of them:
private FlowPane flow;
private Scene scene;
#Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
Text text0 = new Text("These are several ");
Text text1 = new Text("Text Nodes ");
Text text2 = new Text("wrapped in ");
Text text3 = new Text("a FlowPane");
text0.setFill(Color.WHEAT);
text0.setFont(new Font("Times New Roman", 20));
text1.setFill(Color.WHITE);
text1.setFont(new Font("Verdana", 32));
text2.setFill(Color.WHITESMOKE);
text2.setFont(new Font("Arial", 24));
text3.setFill(Color.WHITESMOKE);
text3.setFont(new Font("Arial", 18));
flow = new FlowPane(text0, text1, text2, text3);
scene = new Scene(flow, 300, 200);
primaryStage.setTitle("Hello World!");
primaryStage.setScene(scene);
primaryStage.show();
setBackgroundColors();
flow.needsLayoutProperty().addListener((obs,d,d1)->setBackgroundColors());
}
private void setBackgroundColors(){
final Bounds out = flow.getBoundsInLocal();
final StringBuilder sbColors = new StringBuilder();
final StringBuilder sbInsets = new StringBuilder();
AtomicInteger cont = new AtomicInteger();
flow.getChildrenUnmodifiable().forEach(n->{
sbColors.append("hsb(")
.append((((double)cont.get())/((double)flow.getChildren().size()))*360d)
.append(", 60%, 90%)");
Bounds b = ((Text)n).getBoundsInParent();
sbInsets.append(b.getMinY()).append(" ");
sbInsets.append(Math.min(scene.getWidth(),out.getMaxX())-b.getMaxX()).append(" ");
sbInsets.append(Math.min(scene.getHeight(),out.getMaxY())-b.getMaxY()).append(" ");
sbInsets.append(b.getMinX());
if(cont.getAndIncrement()<flow.getChildren().size()-1){
sbColors.append(", ");
sbInsets.append(", ");
}
});
flow.setStyle("-fx-background-color: "+sbColors.toString()+"; -fx-background-insets: "+sbInsets.toString()+";");
}
This will lead to this:
and after resizing the scene:
EDIT
Based on the OP request of using a TextFlow layout instead of a FlowPane, since Text nodes can be spanned over several lines within a TextFlow, the given solution will no longer be valid, as the bounding box of each text node will overlap others.
As a workaround, we can split the Text nodes in single word Text nodes, while keeping the same background color for those in the same original phrase.
I won't go into the splitting logic, but I will add a list of indices, where each index maps the text node with its index of background color.
private FlowPane flow;
private Scene scene;
private final List<Integer> indices=Arrays.asList(0,0,0,1,1,2,2,3,3);
#Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
List<Text> text0 = Arrays.asList(new Text("These "), new Text("are "), new Text("several "));
List<Text> text1 = Arrays.asList(new Text("Text "), new Text("Nodes "));
List<Text> text2 = Arrays.asList(new Text("wrapped "), new Text("in "));
List<Text> text3 = Arrays.asList(new Text("a "), new Text("FlowPane"));
text0.forEach(t->t.setFill(Color.WHEAT));
text0.forEach(t->t.setFont(new Font("Times New Roman", 20)));
text1.forEach(t->t.setFill(Color.WHITE));
text1.forEach(t->t.setFont(new Font("Verdana", 32)));
text2.forEach(t->t.setFill(Color.WHITESMOKE));
text2.forEach(t->t.setFont(new Font("Arial", 24)));
text3.forEach(t->t.setFill(Color.WHITESMOKE));
text3.forEach(t->t.setFont(new Font("Arial", 18)));
flow = new FlowPane();
flow.getChildren().addAll(text0);
flow.getChildren().addAll(text1);
flow.getChildren().addAll(text2);
flow.getChildren().addAll(text3);
scene = new Scene(flow, 300, 200);
primaryStage.setTitle("Hello World!");
primaryStage.setScene(scene);
primaryStage.show();
setBackgroundColors();
flow.needsLayoutProperty().addListener((obs,d,d1)->setBackgroundColors());
}
private void setBackgroundColors(){
final Bounds out = flow.getBoundsInLocal();
final StringBuilder sbColors = new StringBuilder();
final StringBuilder sbInsets = new StringBuilder();
AtomicInteger cont = new AtomicInteger();
flow.getChildrenUnmodifiable().forEach(n->{
sbColors.append("hsb(")
.append((double)indices.get(cont.get())/(double)(indices.get(flow.getChildren().size()-1)+1)*360d)
.append(", 60%, 90%)");
Bounds b = ((Text)n).getBoundsInParent();
sbInsets.append(b.getMinY()).append(" ");
sbInsets.append(Math.min(scene.getWidth(),out.getMaxX())-b.getMaxX()-1).append(" ");
sbInsets.append(Math.min(scene.getHeight(),out.getMaxY())-b.getMaxY()).append(" ");
sbInsets.append(b.getMinX());
if(cont.getAndIncrement()<flow.getChildren().size()-1){
sbColors.append(", ");
sbInsets.append(", ");
}
});
flow.setStyle("-fx-background-color: "+sbColors.toString()+"; -fx-background-insets: "+sbInsets.toString()+";");
}
This FlowPane now behaves as a TextFlow:
There is no background for Text objects. You'd either have to group it with a shape (rectangle, ellipse, etc) and set the color of that shape, or you could put the objects inside a StackPane and set the background color of the StackPane.

Programmatically display a message next to text field in JavaFX

I have a TextField in my JavaFX application. I want to programmatically display a message on the right side of the text (like the validation message). I thought of using Popup and setting the Label with message in that Popup. But I'm not sure how I can position this to the right side of the text field. Below is the sample code for this. Can you please help me with this?
public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
primaryStage.setTitle("JavaFX Welcome");
GridPane grid = new GridPane();
grid.setAlignment(Pos.CENTER);
grid.setHgap(10);
grid.setVgap(10);
grid.setPadding(new Insets(25, 25, 25, 25));
Text scenetitle = new Text("Welcome");
scenetitle.setFont(Font.font("Tahoma", FontWeight.NORMAL, 20));
grid.add(scenetitle, 0, 0, 2, 1);
Label userName = new Label("User Name:");
grid.add(userName, 0, 1);
TextField userTextField = new TextField();
grid.add(userTextField, 1, 1);
Label pw = new Label("Password:");
grid.add(pw, 0, 2);
PasswordField pwBox = new PasswordField();
grid.add(pwBox, 1, 2);
Label label=new Label();
label.setText("This is an error message");
final Text actiontarget = new Text();
grid.add(actiontarget, 1, 6);
final Popup popup = new Popup();
popup.getContent().add(label);
//Want to display this popup to the right of the userTextField.
Scene scene = new Scene(grid, 300, 275);
primaryStage.setScene(scene);
primaryStage.show();
}
After showing the stage, do
Bounds userTextFieldBounds = userTextField.getBoundsInLocal();
Point2D popupLocation = userTextField.localToScreen(userTextFieldBounds.getMaxX(), userTextFieldBounds.getMinY());
popup.show(userTextField, popupLocation.getX(), popupLocation.getY());
The localToScreen(...) method was introduced in Java 8; if you are in an earlier version you will need
Bounds userTextFieldBounds = userTextField.getBoundsInLocal();
Point2D popupLocation = userTextField.localToScene(userTextFieldBounds.getMaxX(), userTextFieldBounds.getMinY());
popup.show(userTextField,
popupLocation.getX()+scene.getX()+primaryStage.getX(),
popupLocation.getY()+scene.getY()+primaryStage.getY());

Change color title UITable static section

I have two UITable static sections in my application with both different headers.
The color of the header must be changed because the custom background.
How can I do this solution like ( link ) in my MonoTouch application?
Because I use static sections, I don't have a UITableViewSource where I can do stuff in.
My solution (thanks to Krumelur)
[Export("tableView:viewForHeaderInSection:")]
UIView GetViewForHeaderInSecion (UITableView tableview, int section)
{
UIView view = new UIView (new RectangleF (0, 0, 300, 0));
view.BackgroundColor = UIColor.Clear;
UILabel label = new UILabel (new RectangleF (15, 5, 300, 25));
label.BackgroundColor = UIColor.Clear;
label.TextColor = UIColor.White;
label.ShadowColor = UIColor.Black;
label.ShadowOffset = new SizeF(0, 1);
label.Font = UIFont.BoldSystemFontOfSize(18);
if (section == 0) {
label.Text = "First section";
} else {
label.Text = "Second section";
}
view.AddSubview(label);
return view;
}
You'll have to export the missing method in your controller. Something like:
[Export("tableView:viewForHeaderInSection:")]
UIView GetViewForHeaderInSection(UITableView tableview, int section
{
// return your UIView with whatever background color here
}
Note that you cannot change the color of the predefined view but have to return an entire view instead.
