Xamarin WebView scale to fit - xamarin

Is there a way to set a WebView in Xamarin to scale its content to fit the screen by default and still allow for pinch zooming in/out?
We're going to use this to display documents we have online.

I solved the scale fit to page and zooming by Custom Renderers, as given below
For IOS
public class CustomWebViewRenderer : WebViewRenderer
{
protected override void OnElementChanged(VisualElementChangedEventArgs e)
{
base.OnElementChanged(e);
var view = Element as CustomWebView;
if (view == null || NativeView == null)
{
return;
}
this.ScalesPageToFit = true;
}
}
For Android
public class CustomWebViewRenderer : WebViewRenderer
{
protected override void OnElementChanged(ElementChangedEventArgs<WebView> e)
{
base.OnElementChanged(e);
if (Control != null)
{
Control.Settings.BuiltInZoomControls = true;
Control.Settings.DisplayZoomControls = false;
Control.Settings.LoadWithOverviewMode = true;
Control.Settings.UseWideViewPort = true;
}
}
}

If you're using Xamarin.Forms that would look something like this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ContentPage xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
x:Class="WebViewDemo.LoadingDemo" Title="Loading Demo">
<ContentPage.Content>
<StackLayout>
<WebView x:Name="Browser"
VerticalOptions = LayoutOptions.FillAndExpand ,
HorizontalOptions = LayoutOptions.FillAndExpand,
</StackLayout>
</ContentPage.Content>
</ContentPage>
This should fill the page and not affect pinch and zoom.

Xamarin iOS webview underlap behind navigation bar

I am using xamarin custom webview to load my page in app. But facing issue that title of webpage hides behind navigation bar . Or sometimes bottom of page not shown. I have tried adding scrollbar to my layout but still facing issue. Same works perfectly on android. Is it due to custom webview? I just want my webview to start below navigation bar and load completely according to device size.
my custom webview code :
public class CustomWebView : WebView
{
public static readonly BindableProperty UriProperty = BindableProperty.Create(
propertyName: "Uri",
returnType: typeof(string),
declaringType: typeof(CustomWebView),
defaultValue: default(string));
public string Uri
{
get { return (string)GetValue(UriProperty); }
set { SetValue(UriProperty, value); }
}
}
Xaml Page :
<StackLayout Orientation="Vertical" HorizontalOptions="StartAndExpand" VerticalOptions="StartAndExpand">
<StackLayout>
<Label x:Name="type" Text="Loading..." FontSize="Medium"/>
</StackLayout>
<StackLayout VerticalOptions="FillAndExpand" HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand">
<ScrollView Orientation="Vertical" FlowDirection="MatchParent" HorizontalOptions="StartAndExpand" VerticalOptions="StartAndExpand" Visual="Material" VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Always">
<OnPlatform x:TypeArguments="View">
<On Platform="Android">
<WebView x:Name="dashboard_android" HeightRequest="1000" WidthRequest="1000" />
</On>
<On Platform="iOS">
<local:CustomWebView x:Name="dashboard_ios" VerticalOptions="StartAndExpand" HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand" WidthRequest="1000" HeightRequest="1000"/>
</On>
</OnPlatform>
</ScrollView>
</StackLayout>
</StackLayout>
code behind :
dashboard_android.Source = url;
dashboard_ios.Uri = url;
Following are solutions i have tried but no success
Solution 1 :
I have tried adding two properties, but no use
this.EdgesForExtendedLayout = UIRectEdge.None;
this.ExtendedLayoutIncludesOpaqueBars = false;
Solution 2 :
Tried enabling this unsafe area property , still no success
ios:Page.UseSafeArea="true"
Solution 3 :
Tried setting webview height on content size dynamically , but no success
public override async void DidFinishNavigation(WKWebView webView, WKNavigation navigation)
{
// base.DidFinishNavigation(webView, navigation);
var wv = _webViewRenderer.Element as CustomWebView;
if (wv != null)
{
await System.Threading.Tasks.Task.Delay(100); // wait here till content is rendered
wv.HeightRequest = (double)webView.Frame.Size.Height; // ScrollView.ContentSize.Height;
}
}
Updated Xaml Code :
<StackLayout VerticalOptions="FillAndExpand" HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand">
<local:CustomWebView x:Name="dashboard" HeightRequest="1000" WidthRequest="1000" />
</StackLayout>
Updated Code behind :
public partial class DashboardView : ContentPage
{
string url;
public DashboardView()
{
InitializeComponent();
url= ""; //adding url to load here
dashboard.Uri = url;
}
}
Custom WebView Renderer
[assembly: ExportRenderer(typeof(CustomWebView), typeof(MyCustomWebViewRenderer))]
namespace Report.iOS
{
public class MyCustomWebViewRenderer : ViewRenderer<CustomWebView, WKWebView>
{
WKWebView webView;
protected override void OnElementChanged(ElementChangedEventArgs<CustomWebView> e)
{
base.OnElementChanged(e);
if (Control == null)
{
webView = new WKWebView(Frame, new WKWebViewConfiguration());
webView.NavigationDelegate = new WebViewDelegate();
SetNativeControl(webView);
}
if (e.NewElement != null)
{
Control.LoadRequest(new NSUrlRequest(new NSUrl(Element.Uri)));
}
}
}
public class WebViewDelegate : WKNavigationDelegate, INSUrlConnectionDataDelegate
{
string uname = null;
string pass = null;
public override async void DidReceiveAuthenticationChallenge(WKWebView webView, NSUrlAuthenticationChallenge challenge, Action<NSUrlSessionAuthChallengeDisposition, NSUrlCredential> completionHandler)
{
try
{
uname = Xamarin.Forms.Application.Current.Properties.ContainsKey("Username") ? Convert.ToString(Xamarin.Forms.Application.Current.Properties["Username"]) : null;
pass = await SecureStorage.GetAsync("Password");
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
}
completionHandler(NSUrlSessionAuthChallengeDisposition.UseCredential, new NSUrlCredential(uname, pass, NSUrlCredentialPersistence.ForSession));
return;
}
}
}
Screenshot of webview screen :
Here i am loading this webpage(https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/essentials/device-display?tabs=android). As you can see half of footer is hidden and i am not able to scroll it.
Screenshot of app
The reason for it quite simple actually you have added the WebView inside a scrollView which is, in turn, causing the issue webview has its own scroll so all you have to do is something like:
<StackLayout VerticalOptions="FillAndExpand" HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand">
<local:CustomWebView x:Name="dashboard" />
</StackLayout>
Also, you do not need the on the platform you can directly use the below and the custom renderer you have created.
The Height/Width request & layout options are not needed Webview by default will capture the whole viewport, You could actually even remove the StackLayouts, But that's on you.
Also, you might wanna read more about the webview
Good luck
Feel free to get back if you have queries
You can use latest WkWebViewRenderer:
public class MyCustomWebViewRenderer : WkWebViewRenderer
{
protected override void OnElementChanged(VisualElementChangedEventArgs e)
{
base.OnElementChanged(e);
//this.LoadUrl("https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/essentials/device-display?tabs=android");
this.NavigationDelegate = new WebViewDelegate();
}
}
In your code behind, you can directly set the source or set your binding:
dashboard.Source = "https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/essentials/device-display?tabs=android";
Also, start from xamarin.forms 4.5+, xamarin use WKWebview as the default control in iOS and that means you no longer need a custom renderer if you use xamarin.forms 4.5+. Refer:
UIWebView Deprecation and App Store Rejection (ITMS-90809)
I was facing that issue just beacuse i was using custom renderer.
My solution code is as follows :
Xaml Code :
<ContentPage.Content>
<StackLayout VerticalOptions="FillAndExpand" HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand">
<WebView x:Name="dashboard" HeightRequest="1000" WidthRequest="1000"/>
</StackLayout>
</ContentPage.Content>
Code Behind :
public partial class DashboardView : ContentPage
{
public DashboardView()
{
InitializeComponent();
dashboard.Source = "url";
}
}

Xamarin IOS Custom Renderer overriden Draw method not called

I am trying to load a customized slider control in a listview (with accordeon behaviour). When the View loads all the listview elements are collapsed so the slider control visibility is false. I observed that the overriden Draw method within the ios renderer is not called while the control is not visible so I end up having the native control within my listview.
I have reproduced the issue in a separate project:
I have the IOS custom renderer:
public class CustomGradientSliderRenderer : SliderRenderer
{
public CGColor StartColor { get; set; }
public CGColor CenterColor { get; set; }
public CGColor EndColor { get; set; }
protected override void OnElementChanged(ElementChangedEventArgs<Slider> e)
{
if (Control == null)
{
var customSlider = e.NewElement as CustomGradientSlider;
StartColor = customSlider.StartColor.ToCGColor();
CenterColor = customSlider.CenterColor.ToCGColor();
EndColor = customSlider.EndColor.ToCGColor();
var slider = new SlideriOS
{
Continuous = true,
Height = (nfloat)customSlider.HeightRequest
};
SetNativeControl(slider);
}
base.OnElementChanged(e);
}
public override void Draw(CGRect rect)
{
base.Draw(rect);
if (Control != null)
{
Control.SetMinTrackImage(CreateGradientImage(rect.Size), UIControlState.Normal);
}
}
void OnControlValueChanged(object sender, EventArgs eventArgs)
{
((IElementController)Element).SetValueFromRenderer(Slider.ValueProperty, Control.Value);
}
public UIImage CreateGradientImage(CGSize rect)
{
var gradientLayer = new CAGradientLayer()
{
StartPoint = new CGPoint(0, 0.5),
EndPoint = new CGPoint(1, 0.5),
Colors = new CGColor[] { StartColor, CenterColor, EndColor },
Frame = new CGRect(0, 0, rect.Width, rect.Height),
CornerRadius = 5.0f
};
UIGraphics.BeginImageContext(gradientLayer.Frame.Size);
gradientLayer.RenderInContext(UIGraphics.GetCurrentContext());
var image = UIGraphics.GetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
UIGraphics.EndImageContext();
return image.CreateResizableImage(UIEdgeInsets.Zero);
}
}
public class SlideriOS : UISlider
{
public nfloat Height { get; set; }
public override CGRect TrackRectForBounds(CGRect forBounds)
{
var rect = base.TrackRectForBounds(forBounds);
return new CGRect(rect.X, rect.Y, rect.Width, Height);
}
}
The View with codebehind:
Main.xaml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<ContentPage
x:Class="GradientSlider.MainPage"
xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
xmlns:local="clr-namespace:GradientSlider">
<ContentPage.Content>
<Grid>
<StackLayout x:Name="SliderContainer">
<local:CustomGradientSlider
x:Name="mySlider"
CenterColor="#feeb2f"
CornerRadius="16"
EndColor="#ba0f00"
HeightRequest="20"
HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand"
Maximum="10"
Minimum="0"
StartColor="#6bab29"
VerticalOptions="CenterAndExpand"
MaximumTrackColor="Transparent"
ThumbColor="green"
/>
<Label x:Name="lblText" Text="txt"
VerticalOptions="Center" HorizontalOptions="Center"/>
</StackLayout>
<Button Text="Magic" Clicked="Button_Tapped" WidthRequest="100" HeightRequest="50" VerticalOptions="Center" HorizontalOptions="Center"/>
</Grid>
</ContentPage.Content>
</ContentPage>
Main.xaml.cs:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using Xamarin.Forms;
namespace GradientSlider
{
public partial class MainPage : ContentPage, INotifyPropertyChanged
{
public MainPage()
{
InitializeComponent();
SliderContainer.IsVisible = false;
}
void Button_Tapped(object sender,ClickedEventArgs a)
{
SliderContainer.IsVisible = !SliderContainer.IsVisible;
}
}
}
So in the scenario above you can see that when I load the main.xaml the control is invisible (SliderContainer.IsVisible = false;) in this case I get a native slider control and not my custom one. If I change in the constructor SliderContainer.IsVisible = true; then I get my custom control.
After an investigation I realised that if the control is not visible when the view loads the public override void Draw(CGRect rect) is not called. I could not find any solution to trigger the Draw method while the control is invisible.
Anybody has an idea how to load a custom renderer correctly while the control is not visible ?
Thank you!
Assuming the renderer is overriding OnElementPropertyChanged:
protected override void OnElementChanged(ElementChangedEventArgs<MyFormsSlider> e)
{
if (e.NewElement != null)
{
if (Control == null)
{
// Instantiate the native control and assign it to the Control property with
// the SetNativeControl method
SetNativeControl(new MyNativeControl(...
...
}
protected override void OnElementPropertyChanged(object sender, PropertyChangedEventArgs e)
{
base.OnElementPropertyChanged(sender, e);
//assuming MyFormsSlider derives from View / VisualElement; the latter has IsVisibleProperty
if (e.PropertyName == MyFormsSlider.IsVisibleProperty.PropertyName)
{
//Control is the control set with SetNativeControl
Control. ...
}
...
}

How to create a Xamarin Tooltip in code-behind

I am testing using the following example. https://github.com/CrossGeeks/TooltipSample
The sample works fine, it even works with Labels (sample uses buttons, images and boxviews). The issue is in my main App I need to create the tooltips in code behind.
To test how to do it, in the very same solution (from that above example) I created a TestPage and made it my MainPage in App.xaml.cs. The XAML looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<ContentPage
xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
x:Class="ToolTipSample.TestPage">
<ContentPage.Content>
<StackLayout
x:Name="mainLayout"
BackgroundColor="Yellow">
<StackLayout.GestureRecognizers>
<TapGestureRecognizer Tapped="Handle_Tapped"/>
</StackLayout.GestureRecognizers>
</StackLayout>
</ContentPage.Content>
The code-behind looks like this:
using Xamarin.Forms;
using Xamarin.Forms.Xaml;
using ToolTipSample.Effects;
namespace ToolTipSample
{
[XamlCompilation(XamlCompilationOptions.Compile)]
public partial class TestPage : ContentPage
{
public TestPage()
{
InitializeComponent();
var actionLabel = new Label
{
Text = "Show Tooltip",
WidthRequest = 150,
VerticalOptions = LayoutOptions.StartAndExpand,
HorizontalOptions = LayoutOptions.Center,
BackgroundColor = Color.Wheat
};
// Add tooltip to action label
TooltipEffect.SetPosition(actionLabel, TooltipPosition.Bottom);
TooltipEffect.SetBackgroundColor(actionLabel, Color.Silver);
TooltipEffect.SetTextColor(actionLabel, Color.Teal);
TooltipEffect.SetText(actionLabel, "This is the tooltip");
TooltipEffect.SetHasTooltip(actionLabel, true);
actionLabel.Effects.Add(Effect.Resolve($"CrossGeeks.{nameof(TooltipEffect)}"));
mainLayout.Children.Add(actionLabel);
}
void Handle_Tapped(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
foreach (var c in mainLayout.Children)
{
if (TooltipEffect.GetHasTooltip(c))
{
TooltipEffect.SetHasTooltip(c, false);
TooltipEffect.SetHasTooltip(c, true);
}
}
}
}
}
All other code unchanged.
When I tap the label, the tooltip appears as expected. But when I tap the background it does not disappear (like those created in XAML in the sample).
One other thing. If I tap twice it disappears.
Can anyone see what I am missing?
Thanks.
According to your description and code, you can delete the following line code to achieve your requirement.
actionLabel.Effects.Add(Effect.Resolve($"CrossGeeks.{nameof(TooltipEffect)}"));
You don't need to add effect for control when page load, because this effect will be added when you click this control by these code:
static void OnHasTooltipChanged(BindableObject bindable, object oldValue, object newValue)
{
var view = bindable as View;
if (view == null)
{
return;
}
bool hasTooltip = (bool)newValue;
if (hasTooltip)
{
view.Effects.Add(new ControlTooltipEffect());
}
else
{
var toRemove = view.Effects.FirstOrDefault(e => e is ControlTooltipEffect);
if (toRemove != null)
{
view.Effects.Remove(toRemove);
}
}
}

How to change searchbar cancel button image in xamarin forms

I have used custom renderer to change the search bar underline color. But i don't know how to change the cancel button cross symbol(X) to image as shown in the attached screenshot. My custom renderer is as below,
public class CustomSearchBarRenderer : SearchBarRenderer
{
protected override void OnElementChanged(ElementChangedEventArgs<SearchBar> e)
{
base.OnElementChanged(e);
if (e.OldElement == null)
{
LinearLayout linearLayout = this.Control.GetChildAt(0) as LinearLayout;
linearLayout = linearLayout.GetChildAt(2) as LinearLayout;
linearLayout = linearLayout.GetChildAt(1) as LinearLayout;
GradientDrawable gd = new GradientDrawable();
gd.SetStroke(0, Android.Graphics.Color.LightGray);
linearLayout.Background = gd;
AutoCompleteTextView textView = linearLayout.GetChildAt(0) as AutoCompleteTextView;
}
}
}
How to change searchbar cancel button image in xamarin forms
Modify your code like this :
public class MySearchBarRenderer : SearchBarRenderer
{
protected override void OnElementChanged(ElementChangedEventArgs<Xamarin.Forms.SearchBar> e)
{
base.OnElementChanged(e);
if (Control != null)
{
var searchView = Control;
int searchViewCloseButtonId = Control.Resources.GetIdentifier("android:id/search_close_btn", null, null);
var closeIcon = searchView.FindViewById(searchViewCloseButtonId);
(closeIcon as ImageView).SetImageResource(Resource.Drawable.cancel_icon);
}
}
}
Effect.
You can use renderer like this for your code
using System;
using Android.Content;
using Android.Graphics.Drawables;
using Android.Support.V4.Content;
using Android.Widget;
using Xamarin.Forms;
using Xamarin.Forms.Platform.Android;
using CustomRenderers
[assembly: ExportRenderer(typeof(SearchBar), typeof(CustomSearchBarRenderer))]
namespace CustomRenderers
{
public class CustomSearchBarRenderer : SearchBarRenderer
{
Context context;
public CustomSearchBarRenderer(Context context) : base(context)
{
this.context = context;
}
protected override void OnElementChanged(ElementChangedEventArgs<SearchBar> e)
{
base.OnElementChanged(e);
if (Control == null)
{
return;
}
if (e.OldElement == null)
{
//remove the underline line of the edittext
LinearLayout linearLayout = this.Control.GetChildAt(0) as LinearLayout;
linearLayout = linearLayout?.GetChildAt(2) as LinearLayout;
linearLayout = linearLayout?.GetChildAt(1) as LinearLayout;
if (linearLayout != null)
{
//set transparent to remove the underline line of edittext
linearLayout.SetBackground(new ColorDrawable(Android.Graphics.Color.Transparent));
}
}
//set rounded background
Control.Background = ContextCompat.GetDrawable(Context, Resource.Drawable.RoundedSearchViewRectangle);
//abc_ic_clear_material is system clear icon which is in gray color
ImageView searchClose = (ImageView)Control.FindViewById(context.Resources.GetIdentifier("android:id/search_close_btn", null, null));
searchClose?.SetImageResource(Resource.Drawable.abc_ic_clear_material);
}
}
}
this is the Resources\Drawable\RoundedSearchViewRectangle.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle">
<corners android:radius="20dp" />
<solid android:color="#ffff80" />
</shape>
Before apply this code, we have
it will looks like this before and after apply these code:
and you can change the icon of it with this code
searchClose?.SetImageResource(Resource.Drawable.ic_stop);
it will looks like this
If you want a clear button with gray circle around it, you can set background:
searchClose.SetBackgroundResource(Resource.Drawable.SearchViewClearButton);
Resources\Drawable\SearchViewClearButton.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item>
<shape
android:innerRadius="0dp"
android:shape="ring"
android:thickness="12dp"
android:useLevel="false">
<solid android:color="#a9a9a9" />
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
and it will look like this:
If you want to hide the cancel button, you can use this code
Control.ShowsCancelButton = false;

Xamarin Forms - finding databound object from custom renderer while responding to a swipe

From an iOS swipe event, I am trying to figure out how to work my way back to the model databound to the ViewCell (model is my own Drive object, a simple POCO).
I am using a subclassed StackLayout ...
public class MainPageStackLayout : StackLayout { }
with a custom renderer...
[assembly: ExportRenderer(typeof(MainPageStackLayout), typeof(MainPageStackLayoutRenderer))]
namespace DriveLive.iOS
{
public class MainPageStackLayoutRenderer : VisualElementRenderer<StackLayout>
{
UISwipeGestureRecognizer swipeGestureRecognizer;
protected override void OnElementChanged(ElementChangedEventArgs<StackLayout> e)
{
base.OnElementChanged(e);
swipeGestureRecognizer = new UISwipeGestureRecognizer(() =>
{
//********************
Console.WriteLine("How to access the underlying model here?");
//********************
}) { Direction = UISwipeGestureRecognizerDirection.Left, NumberOfTouchesRequired = 1 };
if (e.NewElement == null)
{
if (swipeGestureRecognizer != null)
this.RemoveGestureRecognizer(swipeGestureRecognizer);
}
if (e.OldElement == null)
{
this.AddGestureRecognizer(swipeGestureRecognizer);
}
}
}
}
and the code that uses the MainPageStackLayout ...
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<ContentPage xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
xmlns:local="clr-namespace:DriveLive"
x:Class="DriveLive.Views.MainPage">
<ListView x:Name="___drives" HasUnevenRows="True">
<ListView.ItemTemplate />
</ListView>
</ContentPage>
C#
public partial class MainPage : ContentPage
{
public MainPage()
{
InitializeComponent();
IDriveRespository repo = new DriveLive.Repository.Fakes.DriveRespository();
___drives.ItemsSource = repo.GetDrivesForUser(45); // returns a Drive list of objects
___drives.ItemTemplate = new DataTemplate(typeof(CustomViewCell));
___drives.SeparatorColor = Color.FromHex("#81C1B5");
}
}
public class CustomViewCell : ViewCell
{
bool _initialized = false;
StackLayout _cellStack;
public CustomViewCell()
{
_cellStack = new MainPageStackLayout()
{
Orientation = StackOrientation.Vertical,
HorizontalOptions = LayoutOptions.FillAndExpand
};
View = _cellStack;
var label = new Label() { FontAttributes = FontAttributes.Bold };
label.SetBinding(Label.TextProperty, new Binding("DestinationName"));
_cellStack.Children.Add(label);
}
}
From the handler for the UISwipeGestureRecognizer, how can I access the underlying Drive object which is databound to the ViewCell?
My issue is resolved by leveraging this piece of XForms.
