I created a View and mapped it to a MKMapView via code, but I cannot seem to have the Navigation Bar show up (it's the 2nd view in the stack, so it should have some ability to show the bar).
The map creates well with all functionality I want, BUT, it takes up the entire view space on the View
public override void LoadView()
{
CoreGraphics.CGRect r = new Rectangle(0, 40, (int)UIScreen.MainScreen.Bounds.Right, (int)UIScreen.MainScreen.Bounds.Bottom);
map = new MKMapView(r);
View = map;
}
any ideas?
To show Navigation Bar , you need make sure that the RootViewController of the Application is an UINavigationController (not an UIViewController) .
in Appdeledate.cs
public bool FinishedLaunching (UIApplication application, NSDictionary launchOptions)
{
// Override point for customization after application launch.
// If not required for your application you can safely delete this method
Window = new UIWindow(UIScreen.MainScreen.Bounds);
Window.RootViewController = new UINavigationController(new YourViewController());
Window.MakeKeyAndVisible();
return true;
}
in SceneDelegate (if your app contains it)
public void WillConnect (UIScene scene, UISceneSession session, UISceneConnectionOptions connectionOptions)
{
Window = new UIWindow(scene as UIWindowScene);
Window.RootViewController = new UINavigationController(new YourViewController()) ;
Window.MakeKeyAndVisible();
}
And when you navigate from the first page to the map page
NavigationController.PushViewController(new YourMapController(),true);
I'm trying to hide the navigation bar on iOS from Xamarin but I want to keep the ability to swipe back to the last page.
I've tried doing this:
this.ViewController.NavigationController.NavigationBar.Hidden = true;
and this:
this.ViewController.NavigationController.NavigationBarHidden = true;
in a custom PageRenderer but neither of those hide the navigation bar. If I remove the navigation bar when I'm pushing the page, I also lose the ability to swipe back.
Any suggestions?
Try this:
public class PageCustomRenderer : PageRenderer, IUIGestureRecognizerDelegate
{
public override void ViewWillAppear(bool animated)
{
base.ViewWillAppear(animated);
if (NavigationController != null)
{
NavigationController.NavigationBarHidden = true;
NavigationController.InteractivePopGestureRecognizer.Delegate = this;
NavigationController.InteractivePopGestureRecognizer.Enabled = true;
}
}
}
this in a PageRender in iOS is already the ViewController so you can access the NavigationController from there.
You will need to make your PageRenderer implement the IUIGestureRecognizerDelegate so you can make it the delegate for the InteractivePopGestureRecognizer of the NavigationController
Hope this helps.-
This is a bit complex but I hope that someone can help me.
I am trying to build a drag and drop function for my OSX application.
This is how it is looking at the moment.
So there is just a single textfield which the user can drag and drop around the view. It is simple enough with just one textfield but if there are several textfields it is getting complicated and I don't know how to approach.
This is what I currently have:
#IBOutlet weak var test: NSTextField!
#IBAction override func mouseDragged(theEvent: NSEvent) {
NSCursor.closedHandCursor().set()
var event_location = theEvent.locationInWindow
test.frame.origin.x = event_location.x - 192
test.frame.origin.y = event_location.y
}
Test is the name of my NSTextField. I know the name of it so it is simple to move it arround. But if the user adds more textfields (see on the left pane) then I don't know how to address this textfield because I have no name of it (like "test" for the first input).
I am adding the textfields via this code:
let input = NSTextField(frame: CGRectMake(width, height, 100, 22))
self.MainView.addSubview(input)
How can I determine which textfield (if there are multiple on the view) was selected and then move the appropriate via drag and drop?
The drag and drop is working for that single static textfield
I have prepared a sample app, so consider this:
https://github.com/melifaro-/DraggableNSTextFieldSample
The idea is to introduce SelectableTextField which inherits NSTextField. SelectableTextField provides facility for subscription of interested listener on text field selection event. It has didSelectCallback block variable, where you need to set you handling code. Something like this:
textField.didSelectCallback = { (textField) in
//this peace of code will be performed once mouse down event
//was detected on the text field
self.currentTextField = textField
}
By using mentioned callback mechanism, once text field selected, we can store it in currentTextField variable. So that when mouseDragged function of ViewController is called we are aware of currentTextField and we can handle it appropriatelly. In case of sample app we need adjust currentTextField origin according drag event shift. Hope it became better now.
P.S. NSTextField is opened for inheriting from it, so you can freely use our SelectableTextField everywhere where you use NSTextField, including Interface Builder.
EDIT
I have checked out your sample. Unfortuantly I am not able to commit /create pull request into you repository, so find my suggestion here:
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
didButtonSelectCallback = { (button) in
if let currentButton = self.currentButton {
currentButton.highlighted = !currentButton.highlighted
if currentButton == button {
self.currentButton = nil
} else {
self.currentButton = button
}
} else {
self.currentButton = button
}
button.highlighted = !button.highlighted
}
addButtonAtRandomePlace()
addButtonAtRandomePlace()
didButtonSelectCallback(button: addButtonAtRandomePlace())
}
override func mouseDragged(theEvent: NSEvent) {
guard let button = currentButton else {
return
}
NSCursor.closedHandCursor().set()
button.frame.origin.x += theEvent.deltaX
button.frame.origin.y -= theEvent.deltaY
}
private func addButtonAtRandomePlace() -> SelectableButton {
let viewWidth = self.view.bounds.size.width
let viewHeight = self.view.bounds.size.height
let x = CGFloat(rand() % Int32((viewWidth - ButtonWidth)))
let y = CGFloat(rand() % Int32((viewHeight - ButtonHeight)))
let button = SelectableButton(frame: CGRectMake(x, y, ButtonWidth, ButtonHeight))
button.setButtonType(NSButtonType.ToggleButton)
button.alignment = NSCenterTextAlignment
button.bezelStyle = NSBezelStyle.RoundedBezelStyle
button.didSelectCallback = didButtonSelectCallback
self.view.addSubview(button)
return button
}
I am working on Xamarin.iOS. I need that when I long press on a UITableCell of a UITableView a specific menu pop up in the form of UIActionSheet.
I have tried using the sources at Xamarin official website but I failed.
Have anyone done this before?
In this sample I managed to add a long press gesture by altering this method in GrowRowTableCell
public GrowRowTableCell (IntPtr handle) : base (handle)
{
var longPressGesture = new UILongPressGestureRecognizer (LongPressMethod);
AddGestureRecognizer (longPressGesture);
}
void LongPressMethod (UILongPressGestureRecognizer gestureRecognizer)
{
if(gestureRecognizer.State == UIGestureRecognizerState.Began)
{
Console.Write("LongPress");
var selectCategory = new UIActionSheet ("ActionSheet", null, "Cancel", "test");
selectCategory.ShowInView (this);
}
}
looks like this:
I tried to use the back navigation by overriding OnBackButtonPressed, but somehow it wasn't get called at all. I am using the ContentPage and the latest 1.4.2 release.
Alright, after many hours I figured this one out. There are three parts to it.
#1 Handling the hardware back button on android. This one is easy, override OnBackButtonPressed. Remember, this is for a hardware back button and android only. It will not handle the navigation bar back button. As you can see, I was trying to back through a browser before backing out of the page, but you can put whatever logic you need in.
protected override bool OnBackButtonPressed()
{
if (_browser.CanGoBack)
{
_browser.GoBack();
return true;
}
else
{
//await Navigation.PopAsync(true);
base.OnBackButtonPressed();
return true;
}
}
#2 iOS navigation back button. This one was really tricky, if you look around the web you'll find a couple examples of replacing the back button with a new custom button, but it's almost impossible to get it to look like your other pages. In this case I made a transparent button that sits on top of the normal button.
[assembly: ExportRenderer(typeof(MyAdvantagePage), typeof
(MyAdvantagePageRenderer))]
namespace Advantage.MyAdvantage.MobileApp.iOS.Renderers
{
public class MyAdvantagePageRenderer : Xamarin.Forms.Platform.iOS.PageRenderer
{
public override void ViewWillAppear(bool animated)
{
base.ViewWillAppear(animated);
if (((MyAdvantagePage)Element).EnableBackButtonOverride)
{
SetCustomBackButton();
}
}
private void SetCustomBackButton()
{
UIButton btn = new UIButton();
btn.Frame = new CGRect(0, 0, 50, 40);
btn.BackgroundColor = UIColor.Clear;
btn.TouchDown += (sender, e) =>
{
// Whatever your custom back button click handling
if (((MyAdvantagePage)Element)?.
CustomBackButtonAction != null)
{
((MyAdvantagePage)Element)?.
CustomBackButtonAction.Invoke();
}
};
NavigationController.NavigationBar.AddSubview(btn);
}
}
}
Android, is tricky. In older versions and future versions of Forms once fixed, you can simply override the OnOptionsItemselected like this
public override bool OnOptionsItemSelected(IMenuItem item)
{
// check if the current item id
// is equals to the back button id
if (item.ItemId == 16908332)
{
// retrieve the current xamarin forms page instance
var currentpage = (MyAdvantagePage)
Xamarin.Forms.Application.
Current.MainPage.Navigation.
NavigationStack.LastOrDefault();
// check if the page has subscribed to
// the custom back button event
if (currentpage?.CustomBackButtonAction != null)
{
// invoke the Custom back button action
currentpage?.CustomBackButtonAction.Invoke();
// and disable the default back button action
return false;
}
// if its not subscribed then go ahead
// with the default back button action
return base.OnOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
else
{
// since its not the back button
//click, pass the event to the base
return base.OnOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
}
However, if you are using FormsAppCompatActivity, then you need to add onto your OnCreate in MainActivity this to set your toolbar:
Android.Support.V7.Widget.Toolbar toolbar = this.FindViewById<Android.Support.V7.Widget.Toolbar>(Resource.Id.toolbar);
SetSupportActionBar(toolbar);
But wait! If you have too old a version of .Forms or too new version, a bug will come up where toolbar is null. If this happens, the hacked together way I got it to work to make a deadline is like this. In OnCreate in MainActivity:
MobileApp.Pages.Articles.ArticleDetail.androdAction = () =>
{
Android.Support.V7.Widget.Toolbar toolbar = this.FindViewById<Android.Support.V7.Widget.Toolbar>(Resource.Id.toolbar);
SetSupportActionBar(toolbar);
};
ArticleDetail is a Page, and androidAction is an Action that I run on OnAppearing if the Platform is Android on my page. By this point in your app, toolbar will no longer be null.
Couple more steps, the iOS render we made above uses properties that you need to add to whatever page you are making the renderer for. I was making it for my MyAdvantagePage class that I made, which implements ContentPage . So in my MyAdvantagePage class I added
public Action CustomBackButtonAction { get; set; }
public static readonly BindableProperty EnableBackButtonOverrideProperty =
BindableProperty.Create(
nameof(EnableBackButtonOverride),
typeof(bool),
typeof(MyAdvantagePage),
false);
/// <summary>
/// Gets or Sets Custom Back button overriding state
/// </summary>
public bool EnableBackButtonOverride
{
get
{
return (bool)GetValue(EnableBackButtonOverrideProperty);
}
set
{
SetValue(EnableBackButtonOverrideProperty, value);
}
}
Now that that is all done, on any of my MyAdvantagePage I can add this
:
this.EnableBackButtonOverride = true;
this.CustomBackButtonAction = async () =>
{
if (_browser.CanGoBack)
{
_browser.GoBack();
}
else
{
await Navigation.PopAsync(true);
}
};
That should be everything to get it to work on Android hardware back, and navigation back for both android and iOS.
You are right, in your page class override OnBackButtonPressed and return true if you want to prevent navigation. It works fine for me and I have the same version.
protected override bool OnBackButtonPressed()
{
if (Condition)
return true;
return base.OnBackButtonPressed();
}
Depending on what exactly you are looking for (I would not recommend using this if you simply want to cancel back button navigation), OnDisappearing may be another option:
protected override void OnDisappearing()
{
//back button logic here
}
OnBackButtonPressed() this will be called when a hardware back button is pressed as in android. This will not work on the software back button press as in ios.

Set
Inside YOURPAGE
public static Action SetToolbar;
YOURPAGE OnAppearing
if (Device.RuntimePlatform == Device.Android)
{
SetToolbar.Invoke();
}
MainActivity
YOURPAGE.SetToolbar = () =>
{
Android.Support.V7.Widget.Toolbar toolbar =
this.FindViewById<Android.Support.V7.Widget.Toolbar>(Resource.Id.toolbar);
SetSupportActionBar(toolbar);
};
I use Prism libray and for handle the back button/action I extend INavigatedAware interface of Prism on my page and I implement this methods:
public void OnNavigatedFrom(INavigationParameters parameters)
{
if (parameters.GetNavigationMode() == NavigationMode.Back)
{
//Your code
}
}
public void OnNavigatedTo(INavigationParameters parameters)
{
}
Method OnNavigatedFrom is raised when user press back button from Navigation Bar (Android & iOS) and when user press Hardware back button (only for Android).
For anyone still fighting with this issue - basically you cannot intercept back navigation cross-platform. Having said that there are two approaches that effectively solve the problem:
Hide the NavigationPage back button with NavigationPage.ShowHasBackButton(this, false) and push a modal page that has a custom Back/Cancel/Close button
Intercept the back navigation natively for each platform. This is a good article that does it for iOS and Android: https://theconfuzedsourcecode.wordpress.com/2017/03/12/lets-override-navigation-bar-back-button-click-in-xamarin-forms/
For UWP you are on your own :)
Edit:
Well, not anymore since I did it :) It actually turned out to be pretty easy – there is just one back button and it’s supported by Forms so you just have to override ContentPage’s OnBackButtonPressed:
protected override bool OnBackButtonPressed()
{
if (Device.RuntimePlatform.Equals(Device.UWP))
{
OnClosePageRequested();
return true;
}
else
{
base.OnBackButtonPressed();
return false;
}
}
async void OnClosePageRequested()
{
var tdvm = (TaskDetailsViewModel)BindingContext;
if (tdvm.CanSaveTask())
{
var result = await DisplayAlert("Wait", "You have unsaved changes! Are you sure you want to go back?", "Discard changes", "Cancel");
if (result)
{
tdvm.DiscardChanges();
await Navigation.PopAsync(true);
}
}
else
{
await Navigation.PopAsync(true);
}
}
protected override bool OnBackButtonPressed()
{
base.OnBackButtonPressed();
return true;
}
base.OnBackButtonPressed() returns false on click of hardware back button.
In order to prevent operation of back button or prevent navigation to previous page. the overriding function should be returned as true. On return true, it stays on the current xamarin form page and state of page is also maintained.
The trick is to implement your own navigation page that inherits from NavigationPage. It has the appropriate events Pushed, Popped and PoppedToRoot.
A sample implementation could look like this:
public class PageLifetimeSupportingNavigationPage : NavigationPage
{
public PageLifetimeSupportingNavigationPage(Page content)
: base(content)
{
Init();
}
private void Init()
{
Pushed += (sender, e) => OpenPage(e.Page);
Popped += (sender, e) => ClosePage(e.Page);
PoppedToRoot += (sender, e) =>
{
var args = e as PoppedToRootEventArgs;
if (args == null)
return;
foreach (var page in args.PoppedPages.Reverse())
ClosePage(page);
};
}
private static void OpenPage(Page page)
{
if (page is IPageLifetime navpage)
navpage.OnOpening();
}
private static void ClosePage(Page page)
{
if (page is IPageLifetime navpage)
navpage.OnClosed();
page.BindingContext = null;
}
}
Pages would implement the following interface:
public interface IPageLifetime
{
void OnOpening();
void OnClosed();
}
This interface could be implemented in a base class for all pages and then delegate it's calls to it's view model.
The navigation page and could be created like this:
var navigationPage = new PageLifetimeSupportingNavigationPage(new MainPage());
MainPage would be the root page to show.
Of course you could also just use NavigationPage in the first place and subscribe to it's events without inheriting from it.
Maybe this can be usefull, You need to hide the back button, and then replace with your own button:
public static UIViewController AddBackButton(this UIViewController controller, EventHandler ev){
controller.NavigationItem.HidesBackButton = true;
var btn = new UIBarButtonItem(UIImage.FromFile("myIcon.png"), UIBarButtonItemStyle.Plain, ev);
UIBarButtonItem[] items = new[] { btn };
controller.NavigationItem.LeftBarButtonItems = items;
return controller;
}
public static UIViewController DeleteBack(this UIViewController controller)
{
controller.NavigationItem.LeftBarButtonItems = null;
return controller;
}
Then call them into these methods:
public override void ViewWillAppear(bool animated)
{
base.ViewWillAppear(animated);
this.AddBackButton(DoSomething);
UpdateFrames();
}
public override void ViewWillDisappear(Boolean animated)
{
this.DeleteBackButton();
}
public void DoSomething(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//Do a barrel roll
}
Another way around is to use Rg.Plugins.Popup Which allows you to implement nice popup. It uses another NavigationStack => Rg.Plugins.Popup.Services.PopupNavigation.Instance.PopupStack. So your page won't be wrap around the NavigationBar.
In your case I would simply
Create a full page popup with opaque background
Override ↩️ OnBackButtonPressed for Android on ⚠️ParentPage⚠️ with something like this:
protected override bool OnBackButtonPressed()
{
return Rg.Plugins.Popup.Services.PopupNavigation.Instance.PopupStack.Any();
}
Since the back-button affect the usual NavigationStack your parent would pop out whenever the user try to use it while your "popup is showing".
Now what? Xaml what ever you want to properly close your popup with all the check you want.
