This article mainly introduces how to use Xamarin.Forms to create a cross-platform user interface, the article is very detailed, has a certain reference value, interested friends must read it!

Xamarin.Forms is a cross-platform, native control-based UI toolkit that allows developers to easily create user interfaces for Android,iOS and Windows Phone. Unlike HTML 5, Xamarin.Forms renders the user interface using the platform's native controls, and App with Xamarin.Forms looks exactly the same as the platform. The biggest feature of Xamarin.Forms is that it is written at once, used everywhere, and displayed natively, which is also the most attractive place for me.

Next we have a series of articles on how to use Xamarin.Form for cross-platform application development, as follows:

1. Getting started with Xamarin.Forms

Introduces what Xamarin.Forms is, as well as some core concepts in Xamarin.Forms, including views, layout, data binding, interface navigation, and so on.

2. Introduction of common Xamarin.Forms controls

Introduces some of the main controls contained in the Xamarin.Forms framework, such as paging controls, views, cells, and other layout controls.

3. Manipulate pictures, fonts, and files using Xamarin.Forms

Describes how to use pictures, set fonts, colors, manipulate files in Xamarin.Forms, and so on.

4. Develop custom controls to change styles

Describes how developers can change the presentation of controls by customizing controls, and can write specific presentations for each platform.

5. How to operate the native platform through DependencyService

Xamarin.Forms DependencyService provides a simple way for developers to uniformly encapsulate native operations of each platform, and upper-level callers can use these native operations without difference.

6. How to publish and subscribe to messages

Xamarin.Forms MessagingCenter enables interaction between view models or between view models and other components through messages, which do not need to know each other's details, but only need to follow a simple message protocol.

7. How to localize App

In line with .NET programs, Xamarin.Forms also supports multilingual localization through RESX files.

8. How to do automated testing

Xamarin provides Xamarin.Forms 's UI testing framework, and UI testing can be performed on hundreds of devices through the Xamarin test cloud platform.

9. How to define a Xamarin.Forms interface using XAML

Xamarin.Forms allows developers to define and build the user interface through XAML. XAML is not necessary in Xamarin.Forms, but building UI interface through XAML will be more concise, more visual, and more suitable for MVVM application architecture. In addition, you can also bind data to the view model in XAML.
