I recently started exploring Xamarin.Forms again and I ran into an issue when using custom tabs and toolbar layout overrides. You can see the result below:
The following makes up the tabs.axml and the toolbar.axml under .\Resources\layout.
tabs.axml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.design.widget.TabLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="@+id/sliding_tabs"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
android:theme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar"
app:tabIndicatorColor="@android:color/white"
app:tabGravity="center"
app:tabMode="fixed"
android:padding="0dp" />
toolbar.axml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="@+id/toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
android:theme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar"
app:popupTheme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light" />
MainActivity.cs:
FormsAppCompatActivity.TabLayoutResource = Resource.Layout.tabs;
FormsAppCompatActivity.ToolbarResource = Resource.Layout.toolbar;
base.OnCreate (bundle);
global::Xamarin.Forms.Forms.Init (this, bundle);
LoadApplication (new App ());
Does anyone have any suggestions? If I can't get this resolved quick, I'm going to have to go back to platform independent UI's.
I honestly do not know what is causing this.
