You can't set your app to only share directly for Instagram & Whatsapp through UIActivityViewController. It seems like after iOS 6 setting UTI using setUri does not work. Any known issues regarding this?

HoloUrhoSharp not running

Hi,
I created a dependency service "downloadFileManager".
In Droid i implemented this function :

public void DownloadFile(string uri, string filename)
{
    var cookies = GetCookies();
  Android.Net.Uri contentUri = Android.Net.Uri.Parse(uri);

  var deviceIdentifier = new DeviceHelper();
  deviceIdentifier.GetIdentifier();

  Android.App.DownloadManager.Request r = new Android.App.DownloadManager.Request(contentUri);

  r.AddRequestHeader("Accept", "*/*");
  r.AddRequestHeader("Accept-Encoding", "gzip, deflate, sdch, br");
  r.AddRequestHeader("Uuid", deviceIdentifier.GetIdentifier());

  foreach (var cookie in cookies)
  {
    r.AddRequestHeader("Cookie", cookie);
  }

  r.SetDestinationInExternalPublicDir(Android.OS.Environment.DirectoryDownloads, filename);

  r.AllowScanningByMediaScanner();

  r.SetNotificationVisibility(Android.App.DownloadVisibility.VisibleNotifyCompleted);

  Android.App.DownloadManager dm = (Android.App.DownloadManager)Forms.Context.GetSystemService(Context.DownloadService);

  dm.Enqueue(r);
}

When i try to download a file from demo site like "http://www.pdf995.com/samples/pdf.pdf" the download works fine but when i try to download from my (secured) server the download "unsucessful" and in the iis log i see that the request get "401" error.

I checked the request and got the session cookie.

What did i miss??

Thank you.

I face strange issue FireBase asking me to initializeApp before I can get token

Default FirebaseApp is not initialized in this process com.ready_apps.Nebka.Business. Make sure to call FirebaseApp.initializeApp(Context) first.

even I called FirebaseApp.InitializeApp(this); in many places

MyApplication calls (that extend Application) , in the activity I ask for token FirebaseInstanceId.Instance?.Token;

but this crash keep appear to me , any one could tell me what I should to do

I have a subview, containing a view controller with navigation buttons, that I want to pass touches through if the buttons aren't hit.

I've found some suggestions to override HitTest on the container view, but it either doesn't work or I'm not doing it correctly.

So I have a parent view controller, created with a storyboard, and I added my subview like so in ViewDidLoad:

        containerOne = new TestView(new RectangleF(0, 0, (float)screenWidth, (float)screenHeight));
            containerOne.TranslatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false;
            containerOne.AutosizesSubviews = true;
            containerOne.BackgroundColor = UIColor.FromRGBA(0,0,0,0);

            View.AddSubview(containerOne);

            var firstChild = new TestController();
            AddChildViewController(firstChild);
            containerOne.AddSubview(firstChild.View);
            containerOne.Frame = new RectangleF((float)containerOne.Frame.X, (float)containerOne.Frame.Y, (float)containerOne.Frame.Width,         (float)firstChild.View.Frame.Height + 200);
            firstChild.View.Frame = containerOne.Bounds;
            firstChild.DidMoveToParentViewController(this);

And my Test View where I've attempted to implement a fix:

public class TestView : UIView
    {
        public TestView(CGRect frame) : base(frame)
        {
        }

        public override UIKit.UIView HitTest(CoreGraphics.CGPoint point, UIKit.UIEvent uievent)
        {
            UIView hitView = base.HitTest(point, uievent);
            if (hitView == this)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("null");
                return null;
            }

            Console.WriteLine("hitTestView");
            return hitView;
        }
}

The subview's view controller (TestController referenced above) has a button at the bottom of the screen and the rest is empty. I'd like to be able to hit the parent view controllers buttons, but nothing happens and I can't get through my subview's layer. My Console.WriteLine("null") never appears.

I'd really appreciate some help on this so I can figure this out! Thanks!

System.IO.IOException: Too many files opened.

In the PCL project I am using XDocument.Load(filePath) to read Xml files,
It's used with a click event with shapes, and seems to have no correlation with the number of times XDocument.Load is called.

I found that the exception is coming from XmlReader.Create()
There are no issues when using this with UWP.

I've searched everywhere for a solution to this issue, with no luck.

Has anyone else ran into this issue, or knows of any solution to fix this issue?

Thank you,

Garrick

On UWP running on desktop with a physical keyboard, if I hold the Alt key down when the focus is on a ListView, the text content of the ListView sometimes disappears (background colors remain). Is anybody else seeing this? If so, I'll log a bug. If not, I'll start what will probably be a hairy piece of debugging...

When I want to show Activity indicator it does not appear. Actually, the page is frozen and after that display the next page.

Here is my code:

`private async void TapGestureRecognizer_Tapped_1(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
try
{
if (txtNumOrden.Text != null && txtNumOrden.Text != "")
{
actLoading.IsRunning = true;

                EntregasModel entrega = new EntregasModel();
                entrega.shipperID = txtNumOrden.Text.Trim();
                entrega.token = this.cliente.token;
                await Navigation.PushAsync(new DescripcionEntregas(entrega));

                actLoading.IsRunning = false;
                txtNumOrden.Text = string.Empty;
            }
            else
            {

Any ideas? I'll appreciate your help.

Thanks!

I'm writing a UITest for an APK and trying to tap a tab in a TabLayout. The TabLayout has an id, but the individual TabViews do not, so I'm not sure how to access those. I've tried to access by text but it's now working for me. Thanks for any help.

I'm using a ViewPager to set up the tabs, not sure it that matters.

Hey,

I'm developing an Xamarin.Forms app and I need to handle the Push Notifications on the Android app. I need to have a button on the notification that the user is seeing and he can click on it. Here is the notification that I'm building:

`
void createNotification(string title, string desc)
{
//Create notification
var notificationManager = GetSystemService(Context.NotificationService) as NotificationManager;

        //Create an intent to show ui
        var uiIntent = new Intent(this, typeof(MainActivity));

        //Use Notification Builder
        NotificationCompat.Builder builder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this);

        //Create the notification
        //we use the pending intent, passing our ui intent over which will get called
        //when the notification is tapped.


        var notification = builder.SetContentIntent(PendingIntent.GetActivity(this, 0, uiIntent, 0))
                .SetSmallIcon(Resource.Drawable.ic_stat_ic_notification)
                .SetTicker(title)
                .SetContentTitle(title)
                .SetContentText(desc)
                //.AddAction(new NotificationCompat.Action())


                //Set the notification sound
                .SetSound(RingtoneManager.GetDefaultUri(RingtoneType.Notification))

                //Auto cancel will remove the notification once the user touches it
                .SetAutoCancel(true).Build();

        //Show the notification
        notificationManager.Notify(1, notification);
    }

`

Where do I put the button and the method it trigger when it has been clicked?

Thanks.

I'm trying to create a binding for an Android library, .aar file. All of the classes get generated except for one. I see the missing class listed in the api.xml.class-parse file but it is not in the api.xml file and not in the obj/Debug/generate/src folder. I do not see any errors listed in the build output.

Is there anywhere that errors related to the missing class would be listed?

I am having an issue with Visual Studio Pro 2017 not saving the SDK, NDK or Java paths when I update them in Tools -> Options -> Xamarin -> Android Settings. I also have community edition loaded, and they get saved correctly there.

I have changed them in the following registry key, but when go back into VS, they are changed back:
"[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Xamarin\VisualStudio\15.0_91fab84c\Android]"

First day here and second question...

I've noticed that you can add more than one tool bar item to the navigation bar, but cant work out how you add items to the left of it in iOS.

I've seen apps that have the three bar hamburger on the left and want to add my own, but I want to have it so the settings page that gets opened is opened in the same way for Android and iOS.

I'm very new to Xamarin development so please, if you have any examples of how this works id love to see them. If it can't be done (or is beyond my basic understanding so far) just let me know.

Also, is there a repository of default toolbar icons for iOS (3 bar burger, "+" sign for add etc) or do I have to make my own?

Thanks,
Karl

Hi,

I'm having a lot of trouble to display text in my application with correct wordwrapping (LineBreakMode.WordWrap) . If I set the Label.Text directly in the XAML, there is no problem, it shows correctly. But if I take the same text, assign it to a variable in my ViewModel, and then databind the Label.Text to this variable, all of a sudden, the WordWrap is ignored, and it uses what looks like CharacterWrap. (But if i set it to truncation, it does truncate !)

I was going to add an image, but I'm getting "You have to be around for a little while longer before you can post links."

(Although I posted this message already over a year ago : forums.xamarin.com/discussion/75839/problem-with-word-wrapping-with-xamarin-forms-label - how long do I have to wait to be able to post an image ?)

any ideas ? This is with the latest Xamarin.Forms nuget, and I get it for both iOS and Android ...

Oct 18, 2017 - We just blogged about Plugin and permission changes with iOS 11!

@Glenn.Wilson In the Announcements of Xamarin.UITest 2.0.0 you made the statement that EnterText() can be slow or occasionally throw errors.
Do my errors correlate with what you are aware of?

When I am running the tests locally on my machine they all work. I am using Xcode 7 (because the failed to install device agent issue is not fixed!) and testing on an iOS 9.3 device.
When I run my tests in the Cloud all of them fail for the same reason:

System.Exception : Error while performing EnterText(Marked("foomarked"), "text to enter") ----> System.TimeoutException : Timed out waiting for keyboard.
at Xamarin.UITest.Utils.ErrorReporting.With (System.Action func, System.Object[] args, System.String memberName) <0x7803460 + 0x0018f> in :0
at Xamarin.UITest.iOS.iOSApp.EnterText (System.Func`2 query, System.String text) <0x801d678 + 0x00193> in :0

The Device I used in the Test Cloud is an Apple iPad Pro iOS 10.0.2

Locally they work!

Is there anything I can change to make EnterText() working in the cloud?
