Create an ToolBarItems in Xamarin.Forms

In this article, you will learn how to Create an ToolBarItems in Xamarin.Forms, using Visual Studio.

Introduction

Xamarin is a platform to develop cross-platform and multi-platform apps (for example, Windows phone, Android, iOS). In Xamarin platform, the code sharing concept is used. In Xamarin Studio, Visual Studio is also available.

Prerequisites

• Visual Studio 2017.

The steps given below are required to be followed in order to Create an ToolBarItems in Xamarin.Forms, using Visual Studio.

Step 1

Click File--> select New--> select Project. The project needs to be clicked after opening all the types of the projects in Visual Studio or click (Ctrl+Shift+N).

Step 2

After opening the New Project, select Installed-->Templates-->Visual C#-->Cross-Platform-->choose Cross Platform App. Now, give your Xamarin from app name (Ex:sample) and give the path of your project. Afterwards, click OK.

Step 3

Now, choose Blank App and select forms PCL(sharing). Afterwards, click OK.

Step 4

Now, go to Solution Explorer. In Solution Explorer, get all the files and source in your project. You can add Universal Windows Platform (UWP). In Reference, go to Solution Explorer-->Your Project-->UWP-->Reference-->Right Click --> Select Add reference.

Step 5

Now, you can select Universal Windows and select Extensions.Check.

1. Windows Desktop Extension for the UWP. version:10.0.1439
2. Windows Desktop Extension for the UWP. version:10.0.1058

Afterwards, click OK.

Step 6

In this step, add one Page, whose name is called MainPage.xaml. Go to Solution Explorer-->Your Project-->Portable-->Right click-->Add-->New Item (Ctrl+Shift+A).

Step 7

Now, select Forms XAML page and give the name (MainPage.xaml).

Step 8

In this step, go to the MainPage.xaml page and write the code given below.

MainPage.xaml

Step 9

In this step, go to the MainPage.xaml.cs page. write the code given below.

MainPage.xaml.cs

using Xamarin.Forms;

Step 10

In this step, go to App.cs page. Write the code, mentioned below between Public App() Method.


App.cs

public App()
        {

            MainPage = new MainPage();
        }

Step 11

Now, you can run your app. Go to the Debug configuration Manager. Choose platform and check build and deploy option. Afterwards, click close.

Step 12

If you have Windows 10 Emulator, you can run it. If you don't have it, simply run Local Machine.

Output

After few seconds, the app will start running on your Windows 10 Emulator.You will see your app is work Successfully.

You Will see the three dot in bottom of the app. and click the three dot.you will see the ToolBarItems is Work Successfully.

if you choose any ToolBarItems .it Will work Successfully.

Summary

This was the process of how to Create an ToolBarItems in Xamarin.Forms, using Visual Studio.

  }

  public override void ViewDidLoad()
  {
   base.ViewDidLoad();

   Timer timer = new System.Timers.Timer();

   timer.Interval = 1000;
   timer.Enabled = true;
   timer.Elapsed += Timer_Elapsed;
   timer.Start();



  }

  private void Timer_Elapsed(object sender, ElapsedEventArgs e)
  {
   
   DateTime myDate = DateTime.Now;

   InvokeOnMainThread(() => { lblTimer.Text = myDate.ToString("F");});

  }

  public override void DidReceiveMemoryWarning()
  {
   base.DidReceiveMemoryWarning();
   // Release any cached data, images, etc that aren't in use.
  }
 }
}

Step 10

Now, go to Run option, choose Debug and the list of iPhone and iPad simulators, which are available. You can choose any one simulator and run it.

Output

After a few seconds, the app will start running on your iPhone simulator.You will see your app working successfully.

Summary

This was the process of how to Create a Timer app in Xamarin ios , using Xamarin Studio.
