I'm having problem with changing header of the Hub Control in Windows Universal app. I'm attaching screenshots so you would be able to see how it looks like.
As you can see at screenshot I changed header text to "Test Header" in XAML and I can see all changes in VS Designer. Problem is when I compile the app and deploy it on device or emulator because than header still contains default text "application name"...
What am I doing wrong?? I tried to creat new project, I was searching for "application name" string or some binding in my project but with no luck... :( Please help guys because I'm struggling with this for a few days now and I have no idea what to do.
Thanks in advance! Regards!
Remove the x:Uid="Hub" from the Hub control.
<Hub x:Name="Hub" Header="Test Header"/>
That way it won't redirect all your strings to the Strings\en-US\Resources.resw file (it is part of the shared project)
If you want to keep it in, then just edit that file and rename the key to anything you like.

I have a Barcode scanner accessory to which the iPad docks on to, hence i need to interface with the accessory to scan for barcode and use it in my application. To accomplish this, i followed the steps as enlisted here
Xamarin Hep - Link
So I went on to create a "Binding" project, added the native library i.e. ".a" file , created the APIDefinition and Structs using Sharpie and finally added the Binding project reference to my application.
In the next step, when I tried to deploy the app to iPad, encountered the error with regards to Native Linking.
In order to fix this, i mentioned the "Framework" in the LinkWith file like:
[assembly: LinkWith ("libBarCodeScannerSDK.a", SmartLink = true, ForceLoad = false, Frameworks="ExternalAccessory")]
Having done all the things stated above, I was able to deploy the app.But I am unable to make my application work with the Barcode scanner accessory. When I check the status of the scanner, its always returned as "NotConnected".
I am clueless as to how to go about debugging this issue and getting it resolved. Do appreciate, if someone can give me pointers on this.
Thanks,
Sid
most (if not all) of external accessories must set UISupportedExternalAccessoryProtocols key inside the info.plist file, see the info.plist file that the native Xcode example that came with your scanner SDK has and copy the UISupportedExternalAccessoryProtocols section to your Xamarin's app info.plist file.
Hope this helps!
Hello Everyone I want to share the Text on Xamarin Form using Library plugin.share.

CrossShare.Current.Share("Hii alll", "Share");
please help me to get out of this,thanks in advance
You want to take a look at UIActivityViewController, you can find the documentation here https://developer.xamarin.com/api/type/MonoTouch.UIKit.UIActivityViewController/
And Xamarin.Forms specific example http://devcenter.wintellect.com/jwood/implementing-sharing-in-xamarin-forms
This is a bit old, but I was having a similar issue and was able to resolve it.
First of all, you need to add the plugin Plugin.Share to ALL Xamarin.Forms projects (Portable, iOS, Android, UWP).
In the class that references the share code, add...
using Plugin.Share;
using Plugin.Share.Abstractions;
CrossShare.Share() doesn't work with strings, directly. You need to new up a ShareMessage.
var title = "Title For The Share";
var message = "Text to share.";
await CrossShare.Current.Share(new ShareMessage { Text = message, Title = title });
I can't say specifically to iOS, as I don't have a Mac and can't test that project, but Android and Windows 10 is working.
I tried to use app designer with an existing app to see if it could render the views properly. However, when I open an existing view in app designer mode it shows the error
XML Parsing Error
Line : 1
Premature end of file.
I've tried this with a brand new project and it seems to work fine without error. I am also using the latest SDK with my old project (5.4.0).
Another thing I wanted to try was using the "Movies" demo app with the app designer and it didn't have an error but it did show a blank page and only when you turned on "Show Anchors" from the toolbar did it show some outlines of controls but they were not in the correct places.
Hopefully someone has some ideas but it seems to me this only works with brand new projects for some reason.
I've looked in the studio log files too and there's no entry for app designer when I use it and see this error message.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Am following tutorial at
http://www.raywenderlich.com/1980/email-tutorial-for-ios-how-to-import-and-export-app-data-via-email-in-your-ios-app
To link a document type to my application so that my application is responsible for opening up of that document.
XCode 5 works very different... Under your Target, Info tab is a "Document Types" line... am not sure how to use this, is there a sample for me?
Thanks
I'm sure you've either figured this out or moved on, but a little tip for most of these tutorials: you can often download the completed code from the website. I did so, and loaded it up in Xcode 5.0, and it works fine. Here's a screenshot of the plist entries (that's under Resources/ScaryBugs-Info.plist) for Document and Export:
Another way to change the Document types in Xcode is via the Project Info (select the project in the Navigator, then the target in the projects and targets list, then the info tab). Here's a screenshot of what that stuff looked like for me:
Here's another very helpful link straight from apple support. Watch the screenshot they have under Example and literally replicate everything from this screenshot and just change their custom extension from catinfo to pdf, ttf, xml or whatever you like
NOTE: Make sure you test this on actual iphone / ipad and not on simulator.

I have a Page in a Windows Phone class library. This page has an appbar. I would prefer everything this page needs to be included within the class library so the setup list for consumers of this page / assembly is minimal.
However, When I set ApplicationBar icons, they get added to the class library project under the folder 'icons' just like normal, they show up fine in Blend, but at runtime they are no where to be found!
When I put the icons in the Windows Phone Application project all is well. However this is not my desired scenario as it is additional configuration / setup by the application author to use my pages.
I tried using the resource pathing using /{AssemblyName};component/icons/{IconName} but of course the AppBar needs them to be of type "Content" not "Resource". So I am thinking this is impossible but I wanted to know if anybody out there figured out how to do this.
Sorry guys. I just figured it out. I changed the newly added icons from "Resource" to "Content" but I forgot to set "Copy if newer" so they weren't getting outputted to the Bin\Debug\icons folder of the windows Phone Application. something to keep an eye on I guess.
