Usage

iOS and Droid

Initialize the renderers in your iOS and Android projects

Xamarin.Forms.Init();
TabStripRenderer.Init();

XAML:

Add the namespace in the xmlns:

xmlns:plugin="clr-namespace:TabStrip.FormsPlugin.Abstractions;assembly=TabStrip.FormsPlugin.Abstractions"

Add the control:

<plugin:TabStripControl Position="{Binding CurrentPosition}"
                        ItemsSource="{Binding Views}" />

Add the following code to your BindingContext. The ItemsSource property needs to be mapped to an IEnumerable<TabModel> where TabModel is provided in the TabStrip.FormsPlugin.Abstractions namespace.

BindingContext = new 
{
	Views = new ObservableCollection<TabModel>(new [] 
	{
		new TabModel
        {
            Header = (new HeaderView(), new { Title = "Tab 1" }),
            View = (new HelloView(), new HelloPageModel())
        },
        new TabModel
        {
            Header = (new HeaderView(), new { Title = "Tab 2" }),
            View = (new HelloView(), new HelloPageModel())
        }

	});
};

Minimal Viable Product

• Implement basic cross-platform Tabstrip that supports Android and iOS via Xamarin.Forms

Windows Support

• Implement Windows UWP support via Xamarin.Forms

macOS Support

• Implement macOS support via Xamarin.Forms

linux Support

• Implement linux support via Xamarin.Forms

Native Support

• Implement Xamarin Navite support so it can be consumed in a Xamarin Native project instead of Xamarin.Forms. This will require a larger code re-write since it will be using Xamarin.Forms wrappers prior to this release
