xamarin-forms

I have an Android app that uses Xamarin Forms 2.0. I made a custom theme to set some colors. I created these files: Resources/values/styles.xml (AndroidResource) <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <resources> <style name="SmartbitLight" parent="SmartbitLight.Base"> </style> <style name="SmartbitLight.Base" parent="Theme.AppCompat.NoActionBar"> <item name="colorPrimary">@color/blueLight</item> <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/blueDark</item> <item name="colorAccent">@color/grey</item> <item name="android:windowBackground">@color/white</item> <item name="android:textColorPrimary">@color

this is what I have: this is what I want to get: If there is no pages in navigation stack, then title icon will be in left corner, else there will be back arrow and "Back" text. I didn't find any options to customize it, is it possible at all? Daniel Luberda You can change arrow to hamburger icon if you use your MasterPage within NavigationPage: Detail = new NavigationPage(masterPage); If you want to hide icon - it only applies to Android. It can be solved with custom renderer ( http://developer.xamarin.com/guides/cross-platform/xamarin-forms/custom-renderer/ ): [assembly:ExportRenderer

I want to use System.Timer in my Xamarin Forms based project. I am actually converting my Xamarin iOS project to Xamarin Formbased project. My Xamarin iOS project has all code for Timer using System.Timer aTimer = new Timer (tm); // Hook up the Elapsed event for the timer. aTimer.Elapsed += new ElapsedEventHandler (OnTimedEvent); aTimer.Enabled = true; aTimer.Start (); When i try to use the same code in Xamarin Forms project it is giving error. First of all using System.Timers; It says: The type or namespace name Timers does not exist in the namespace System. Are you missing a assembly

I am currently using the Xamarin Forms DatePicker and the TimePicker in the portable project of a portable app. But is there a combined control that lets you choose date and time at once (like DateTimePicker in Windows forms)? Please have a look at the iOS Settings > General > Date & Time ( http://www.iphonefaq.org/images/archives/pangu-date.jpg ). Or is there anything I am missing on how to create such a control? There is not a "stock" DateTimePicker within the controls for Xamarin.Forms . You could create your composite control using DatePicker and TimePicker within modal popups and display

I am using Xamarin Forms and somewhere in my application, I need the user to be able to enter a time in the format HH:mm:ss. So, basically I need a control like this one: By using a custom iOS render, I've been able to remove the AM/PM part from the TimePicker to achieve something like this: Here's my renderer code: public class TimePickerSecondsRenderer : TimePickerRenderer { protected override void OnElementChanged(ElementChangedEventArgs<TimePicker> e) { base.OnElementChanged(e); var timePicker = (UIDatePicker)Control.InputView; timePicker.Locale = new NSLocale("CA"); } } It's a small step
