I have submited a App but is not certified because this:
"This application uses the Location Service API to determine a user's location and show them events taking place nearby
however, it does not appear to contain a privacy policy that is accessible to users explaining how the application uses the
Location Service API."
And what i want to do is something like this
When user clicks in Policty Statement open a new window with settings page with my app location policies.
Can anyone help me? How can i add a link like in image?
Cumps
You can navigate to a page using the Hyperlink control
<Textblock>
<Hyperlink NavigateUri="/PrivacyPage.xaml"
TargetName="_blank">Privacy Statement</Hyperlink>
</Textblock>
See MSDN for more info
I don't think you can put a hyperlink in a call to MessageBox.Show() though so you have to create your own Messagebox-like page.
The first time the app is launched you direct the user to your message page. E.g. using this in MainPage.xaml
OnNavigatedTo(...)
{
if(!AppSettings.HasMessageBeenShown)
{
AppSettings.HasMessageBeenShown=true;
NavigationContext.Navigate(new Uri("/MessagePage.xaml", UriKind.Relative));
}
}

I have a webview inside my application and when an external link is clicked (that in normal browser is open in a new tab), I can't then go back to my website.
It is possible when a new tab is open to have the menu closed that tab like Gmail do ?
The objective is that, whenever a link is clicked, the user would have the choice to choose which option to view the content with, e.g. Clicking a link would suggest open youtube app or google chrome. The purpose is to appear the google chrome option
Or what suggestions do you have to handle this situation ?
If I understood you correctly, you want to have the option to select how to open the web link - inside your app, or within another app's (browser) context.
If this is correct, then you can use Xamarin.Essentials: Browser functionality.
public async Task OpenBrowser(Uri uri)
{
await Browser.OpenAsync(uri, BrowserLaunchMode.SystemPreferred);
}
Here the important property is the BrowserLaunchMode flag, which you can learn more about here
Basically, you have 2 options - External & SystemPreferred.
The first one is clear, I think - it will open the link in an external browser.
The second options takes advantage of Android's Chrome Custom Tabs & for iOS - SFSafariViewController
P.S. You can also customise the PreferredToolbarColor, TitleMode, etc.
Edit: Based from your feedback in the comments, you want to control how to open href links from your website.
If I understood correctly, you want the first time that you open your site, to not have the nav bar at the top, and after that to have it. Unfortunately, this is not possible.
You can have the opposite behaviour achieved - the first time that you open a website, to have the nav bar and if the user clicks on any link, to open it externally (inside a browser). You have 2 options for this:
To do it from your website - change the a tag's target to be _blank like this;
To do it from your mobile app - create a Custom renderer for the WebView. In the Android project's renderer implementation, change the Control's WebViewClient like so:
public class CustomWebViewClient : WebViewClient
{
public override bool ShouldOverrideUrlLoading(Android.Webkit.WebView view, IWebResourceRequest request)
{
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ActionView, request.Url);
CrossCurrentActivity.Current.StartActivity(intent);
return true;
}
}
I have two tabs in my personal msteams application and I would like to navigate between them dynamically. Is it possible? I've tried to use microsoftTeams.getTabInstances method from msteams SDK to get my tabs and after that navigate to the chosen tab by invoking microsoftTeams.navigateToTab but this approach doesn't work - I get null from microsoftTeams.getTabInstances. My user is logged in (I've read somewhere that user must be logged in).
I've not tried exactly this action, but I believe you should be able to do what you're trying using Deep Links. In particular, see the Deep linking from your tab where it talks about
This is useful if your tab needs to link to [...] another tab [...]
and the syntax is
microsoftTeams.executeDeepLink(/*deepLink*/);
Just a reminder that in deep link syntax, e.g. https://teams.microsoft.com/l/entity/<appId>/<entityId>, the appid is your Teams app id, and the "entityId" must match the "entityId" for your tab in your Teams manifest file.
You can deeplink to content in Teams from your tab. This is useful if your tab needs to link to other content in Teams such as to a channel, message, another tab or even to open a scheduling dialog. To trigger a deeplink from your tab you should call:
var encodedWebUrl = encodeURI('https://tasklist.example.com/123/456&label=Task 456');
var encodedContext = encodeURI('{"subEntityId": "task456"}');
var taskItemUrl = 'https://teams.microsoft.com/l/entity/fe4a8eba-2a31-4737-8e33-e5fae6fee194/tasklist123?webUrl=' + encodedWebUrl + '&context=' + encodedContext;
Please take a look Deep Link to your tab
We are facing a strange issue. Not sure if it is design flaw of the existing application. Your help/suggestion is appreciated.
We have a Xamarin.forms app. Targeted both for iOS and Android.
Problem is coming mainly in Android app.
Application flow:
once we logout from the application, app opens an logout activity and delete user info and other data.
opens a new activity for login which contains client SSO implementation
on successful login, app is setting user info and fetch data from web service.
then it calls LoadApplication method so that flow comes back in main application
Now if user perform logout/login several times, its opening a new application instance by calling LoadApplication method and then displaying home screen
So when user is tapping back button in home page, app is not closing and displays previous instance of same application.
User need to press back button several times (depending how many time user perform logout-login).
Is there any goodway to stop this?
Can we close current instance of the application before LoadApplication being called?
Stuck for a long time.
I'd try to avoid to call LoadApplication more then once. You should control the navigation stack.
Given you are on the LogoutPage
remove all views via PopToRootAsync
show the LoginPage
await Navigation.PopToRootAsync(false);
await Navigation.PushAsync(new LoginPage(), true);

I having an issue with FB.ui permissions.request window.
FB.ui({
method: 'permissions.request',
perms: 'publish_actions',
display: 'popup'
},function(response) {
// This function is never called ? });
Context :
I use the new OAuth window (with timeline), i have configured my apps to work with it.
I'm french and use Facebook in French.
First issue :
- My callback function is never called ...
Second issue :
- The new OAuth window, seem to be not the good window.
It's called 'permission request' but inside it is the copy of login window. And no permission request is displayed.
So, my question is : how can i do the permission request in js ?
How displaying this window : https://developers.facebook.com/attachment/app_extended_perms.png/ ?
Thanks.
The reason you are not seeing it is because the application process has become a two step process.
Being that the person accepts to login into your application.
Being the person accept your extended permission which is where the callback url comes into play.
Documentation can be found here.
So the reason your callback isn't being called is because the two step process. I would suggest making the response attached to second page that is called.
I am not sure how the JS SDK works but it is how I managed to do it.
Goodluck.
Disable "Enhanced Auth Dialog" in your app's advance settings and see if it works. If you want to stick with Enhanced Auth Dialog then checkout Setup Auth Dialog Preview for Authenticating user section of this tutorial.
I'm making an app and I want to be able to go from my app to the messaging app straight to the "Create new" page. Is there a way I can navigate to that page straight from my app?
As Andrew M mentioned, the SmsComposeTask is the correct control to use. Here is some sample code for you:
SmsComposeTask smsTask = new SmsComposeTask();
smsTask.To = "0123456789"; // the number you would like to send the sms to
smsTask.Body = "Some prefilled text..."; // if you would like to fill some text
smsTask.Show();
When Show() is called, the app will navigate to the Messaging application and display an SMS filled in with the defined parameters.
Simply use the above code in an event handler (i.e., the event for when a button is clicked), and the user will be navigated accordingly.
Use the SMSComposeTask:
