Uniforms

The missing helpers library for awesome Xamarin Forms!

Why

There are Xamarin-Forms-Labs and Xamarin.Plugins projects and probably some more but still some basic things are just missing out of box.

So, we'll try to keep simple things simple and fill some gaps. Stay tuned! :)

Install

Uniforms.Misc package is available via NuGet:
https://www.nuget.org/packages/Uniforms.Misc/

Alternitavely, you may just clone this repo and references to your projects.

Usage

See example in CoreSample project: https://github.com/TheUniforms/Uniforms-Misc/blob/master/CoreSample/CoreSample.cs#L20

1. Init utilities right after Forms.Init():

   On Android:

   Xamarin.Forms.Forms.Init(context, bundle);
   Uniforms.Misc.Droid.ScreenUtils.Init ();
   Uniforms.Misc.Droid.ImageUtils.Init ();
   Uniforms.Misc.Droid.TextUtils.Init ();

   On iOS:

   Xamarin.Forms.Forms.Init();
   Uniforms.Misc.iOS.ScreenUtils.Init ();
   Uniforms.Misc.iOS.ImageUtils.Init ();
   Uniforms.Misc.iOS.KeyboardUtils.Init ();
   Uniforms.Misc.iOS.TextUtils.Init ();

2. Then use Uniforms.Misc.* in your cross-platform code!

Quick reference

Utils interface is provided via static classes:

• Uniforms.Misc.ScreenUtils
• Uniforms.Misc.ImageUtils
• Uniforms.Misc.KeyboardUtils
• Uniforms.Misc.TextUtils

Get screen size

var screenSize = Uniforms.Misc.ScreenUtils.ScreenSize;

Handle keyboard change events

Uniforms.Misc.KeyboardUtils.KeyboardHeightChanged += (height) => {
    Debug.WriteLine ($"KeyboardHeightChanged: {height}");
};

Get image size by file name

var imageSize = Uniforms.Misc.ImageUtils.GetImageSize("Graphics/icon.png");

Rounded box view

var box = new RoundedBox {
    HeightRequest = 50,
    WidthRequest = 50,
    BackgroundColor = Color.Purple,
    CornerRadius = 10,
    ShadowOffset = new Size(0, 2.0),
    ShadowOpacity = 0.5,
    ShadowRadius = 2.0,
};
