Create an Popup View in Xamarin iOS

In this blog, you will learn how to Create A Popup View in Xamarin iOS.

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

• Xamarin Studio.
• Xcode.

The steps given below are required to be followed in order to Create A Popup View in Xamarin iOS, using Xamarin Studio.

Step 1

Go To Xamarin Studio.

Click New Solution—> select iOS—>select App--> Choose single View App. Afterwards, click Next.

Step 2

In this step, configure your app. Give the app name (Ex:sample), Organization Identifier. Afterwards, click Next.

Step 3

In this step, give your project name (Ex: Sample) and solution name (Ex: Sample). Give the path of your project. Afterwards, click Create.

Step 4

Subsequently, go to the solution. In the solution, get all the files and sources in your project. Now, select Main.storyboard and double click to open Main.storyboard page.

Step 5

After opening the Main.storyboard, you can design this page, as per your desire.

Step 6

Now, go to the toolbox Window. In the toolbox Window, get all the types of the tools and controls. You need to go to the toolbox Window. Now, scroll down and you will see all the tools and controls. You need to drag and drop the Button.

namespace XamariniOSPopup
{
 public partial class ViewController : UIViewController
 {
  protected ViewController(IntPtr handle) : base(handle)
  {
   // Note: this .ctor should not contain any initialization logic.
  }

  public override void ViewDidLoad()
  {
   base.ViewDidLoad();
   // Perform any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
  }

  partial void BtnOk_TouchUpInside(UIButton sender)
  {
   viewPopup.Hidden = true;
  }

  partial void BtnPopup_TouchUpInside(UIButton sender)
  {
   viewPopup.Hidden = false;

  }

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

Step 14

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.

You can click the Popup Button, the popup window will be showed successfully.

Xamarin.Forms - Custom Popup

In this blog, you will learn how to create a custom popup in xamarin.forms

Introduction

Xamarin.Forms code runs on multiple platforms - each of which has its own filesystem. This means that reading and writing files are the most easily done tasks using native file APIs on each platform. Alternatively, embedded resources are also a simpler solution to distribute the data files with an app.

Prerequisites

• Visual Studio 2017(Windows or Mac)

Setting up a Xamarin.Forms Project

Start by creating a new Xamarin.Forms project. You’ll learn more by going through the steps yourself.
Choose the  Cross-platform App project under Visual C#-->Cross-platform in the New Project dialog.

Now Select the Blank App and Choose Portable Class Library(PCL).

You now have a basic Xamarin.Forms app. Click the Play button to try it out.

Setting up the User Interface.

Go to MainPage.Xaml and write the following code.

MainPage.Xaml

In this step, Create a custom popup using contentview.

Write the following code for popup

Popup - Loading

Now, wirte the button click event to show popup.

MainPage.Xaml.cs

Popup - Login

   
Popup - ListView

Popup - ImageView

Full Code - MainPage.Xaml

Full Code - MainPage.Xaml.cs

Click the Play button to try it out.
