Finally, we can call the GotoAsync on the Shell Navigation. From this, we can store the selection in the Static Property in the file. This will receive the CommandParameter of type Airplane. In the ViewModel constructor, we instantiate the new Command and have it reference an Async method of ActionSelection. We then set the AsyncCommand type to as this is what will be passed from the View. This time, as we want to use an Async method on the Navigation stack we will add an AsyncCommand which we can use from the MVVMHelpers library that Visual Studio will pull in for us. Let’s add a Command to take us to a new page so that we can show the rest of the details from our dataset. So no need to add Shell like we did in the first blog post in this series.
The good news is that we have ShellNavigation in our App.Īs of Preview 14, this is now the default template as the team thought it was so important. To achieve this we need to add navigation to the page.
In apps that have CollectionViews like ours, the users expect to be able to tap the item in the list to see more details about that item. All of this is beyond the scope of this blog and sadly at the time of writing, the MAUI docs are not written for this yet but I believe there is very little if any change from the way it was achieved in Xamarin.Forms so you can use those docs which can be found here Navigating to a Sub Page It’s just you have to be a bit more specific when using your CSS Selectors. Just be aware that obviously, this isn’t the web, so all the fancy web things you can do with CSS like Bootstrap etc are not going to work.īut the CSS in Xamarin/MAUI works the same way, so background-color: lightgray works. This is possible, and I have used this in a Xamarin.Forms project for exactly this reason. The other question I am asked a lot is about using CSS files that are provided by Design teams or copied over from the company website.
You can read more about this in the MAUI Docs Here. Or you can even set it at a page level by setting at the top of the XAML page the ResourceDictionary that that page uses. Well, that can be resolved by having multiple Resource Dictionaries. If the project is large, this App.xaml page is going to be huge with all the styles. I know what you’re thinking, probably the same as me when I started with Xamarin and the same goes for MAUI.
#MAUI MAC VISUAL STUDIO CODE#
This is very handy if you want to adjust something based on code as you can Bind the colour to a property in your ViewModel so that the button turns green say when the form is complete. So, say we want this one button to be Green, but the Button style has it as Blue we can change the BackgroundColor in XAML and it will just affect the colour only on that button – so giving a lot of control. 😜Ī quick reminder of what it looked like before:Īfter setting the Style on an element, if we want to adjust it for that one button/label etc we can set a property in the XAML, and it will override the style pulled in from the ResourceDictionary.
Now to be honest before we start, I am no designer so our changes are just going to show the process rather than make it a great App design. Looking at the App as we left it in Part 2, the styling isn’t going to win any design competitions. The team are still aiming for a May 22 GA widely rumoured to be at BUILD, so I am expecting the next release to be either the last preview or RC1.
#MAUI MAC VISUAL STUDIO UPDATE#
It’s the Preview of VS22 you update to get the latest MAUI bits, in case you’re wondering. So if you have downloaded any version older than 14, I suggest you update to the latest Visual Studio 22 (VS22) preview release to get the new bits. However, if this is all new I suggest you have a read of Parts 1 & 2 for more info and then come back here to continue the deep-dive.Īs MAUI is still in preview, since the last post, in line with the monthly release cadence of the MAUI previews, we have moved from Preview 12 to Preview 14 (March 2022). In our previous post MAUI Deep Dive Part 2 we covered adding Shell Navigation stack to our demo app and created a simple CollectionView with data pulled from the Web. NET MAUI and deep-diving into the sections that make up a MAUI App while we create a simple demo App.

In this series of posts, we have been explaining how to get started with.
