I am implementing a splash screen for my app. I just came to know about storyboard constraints to support multiple devices. Basically, I feel it very difficult to understand it as a beginner in this, also I see there is no apt documentation in xamarin also. I want to know the steps to set an imageview width to its super view (View controller).
I see what I should do from here, Visual studio Xamarin iOS launchscreen storyboard layout. But, how do I add those constraints, totally no idea..?! Particularly imageview width and height to superview, trailing and leading
Now, I can only know how to set the constraints in designer by dragging, I'v only learnt to center the image to super view in X and Y (Horizontally and vertically). There is no button to add constraints. How to add leading and trailing constraints? I'm using Visual Studio 2017 for Windows
I got it working.
Step 1: Open storyboard file with lowest screen resolution device set (iPhone 4s) and drag & drop an imageview to fill the view controller.
Step 2: Set the uiimageview source from resources/image assets.
Step 3: Click on the image -> Properties Tab -> Layouts section. You will see like this
Step 4 : Properties -> Layout -> Under View group, there is title called Arrange, there is a autosizing box and example box.
Step 5 : You should click all the I-bars and lines in the center to make it red like below to fill the width (you can see that reflecting in the example box as you click)
Now, SAVE and then switch to other devices, you should have that UIImageview filling the device's height and width.
This will be very useful for important UI auto designs like splash screen.

I have an iOS application that is working fine in an iPhone X or XR the only problem is that i see the black areas on top and bottom so the app is not taking the hole of the screen.
Im using Auto Layout option in the Storyboard.
I also was reading that you can fix this by adding a Launch Image specific size to the assets but I just opened my assets and I don't see a new space for iPhone X or XR images.
Im I doing something wrong?
If you are using a LaunchScreen.storyboard with a ImageView you need to uncheck "Use Safe Area Layout Guides" or set Up and Bottom constraints to superview instead of Safe Area.
I am creating File Manager like Miller column app for windows in JavaFX for learning purpose.
Check the screenshot below:
As you can see, when toolbar exceeds, there comes a double arrow button for more items to select from popup.
I already did auto scroll for miller column, which works as expected.
scrollPane.hvalueProperty().bind(hBox.widthProperty());
I would like to auto scroll toolbar to last item and show double arrow on left side.
I am adding adding clickable buttons in toolbar for traversing like manual BreadCumBar.
Tried ControlsFX BreadCumBar, it doesn't even show arrows or popup when exceeds, Bug here : https://bitbucket.org/controlsfx/controlsfx/issues/810/no-double-arrow-popup-like-when.
If its not possible to do so with toolbar, I would like to know how to customize toolbar popup only via css. Or any other way that improve usability easiness.
Also I would love to know suggestions for whole app from expert designers.
Thanks.
I am new to Xamarin and i want to know how the below said feature can be done in Xamarin.Forms ( Target devices android, windows phone and iphone)
POC Feature:
App should be able to display a stack of 10 card in the center of the screen. At a time only one card will be shown and other cards are hidden behind the top card. We need to show that the other cards are hidden in the back.
Every card contains one image to the right corner, one text description beside the image and one text description to the bottom of the card.
User should be able to drag the top card to the left corner to skip and drag to the right corner to accept/approve the card.
while dragging the card, card background will change the color and it will tilt to left and right (say -25 deg left and then immediately +25 deg right)when user catches and drags it a bit either to left or right.

I have seen the same Tinder code for ios in Xamarin.ios native, but i want to know how to do it with Xamarin.Forms which will run in all the three platforms without issues.
Xamarin.ios example:https://components.xamarin.com/view/xcardview
Thanks

If u want your answer in binary(yes/no) for all the points ,
1.Yes
2.Yes
3.Yes with a condition,There is no straight forward way to achieve it , you will have to deep dive in custom renderer for each platform to achieve it.(limited support for gestures in forms without custom renderer)
4. Yes ,Again may require writing custom platform oriented code .
I have placed 3 images into UIImageViews using xcode4 interface builder: background, and two pictures. Background image fills the whole visible area and it looks the same in interface builder, in simulator and on device. In addition, I'm placing another image at the very bottom (stick to) of visible area, and another one on top of it. Both looks as I want in interface builder. The problem is both bottom image and on top of bottom image moves approximately by 50 pixels up when running in simulator or iphone4 device. Interesting part is that background image fill whole visible area. I should note that I'm using UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight orientation so the status bar in my orientation should appear on top but I have disabled it in plist, so I guess it's not related to this problem. Both of my problematic UIImageView's have mode "Bottom". Also, all of three images have #2x image twin. But why can see everything OK in interface builder and then some shift on simulator and device? Also, strange why background is not moved. Does anybody had the same problem?
Try hiding all elements in your nib. (status bar, tool bar, etc)
Make sure you have your springs adjust for your desired effect.
Hope this helps!
I'm working on a Flex 4 application and I started customizing the interface with skins to give a whole new look.
So, I've created two scrollbar skins in Flash Catalyst (one horizontal, one vertical).
Its working great when I test the application through Catalyst so I took it and imported it on Flash Builder, copied the components and defined the new skins in my css file for the HScrollbar and VScrollbar.
The skin is working, all the buttons are ok. But, the scrollbar isnt resizing for some reason. It remains in the same height I've designed it to be regardless of the content it is bound to.
It scrolls the content in all the ways it should be but it doesnt resize and the thumb isnt getting all the way down.
Also I've noticed the following.
I have a custom component acting as a list. It extends Group and contains a Scroller. So at one place of the application the Scrollthumb is getting lower than on another place where the same custom list is used.
I also have to mention that this scroller works perfectly without a custom skin.
Anyone else having similar problems?
Okay, I know you posted this a while ago but I have been scouring the internet for days looking for why the scrollbar's thumb wasn't scaling like the default scrollbar.
There are a couple things to check, first is there a set height on your thumb's skin?
If not, and this is what I was overlooking, go to your scroller skin and at the point where you add the vertical and horizontal scrollbar set the "fixedThumbSize" property to false.
I suppose that your graphic elements are defined as every single part of the scrollbar (top arrow, bottom arrow, track, etc...): in this case you should check that the elements dimensions are not fixed... they should be in % to be able to change the dimensions based on the container.
