I am having four tabs on the bottom, the problem is, the last tab title is not completely visible, I am thinking by setting tab mode to scrollable it would set, Even after I set the tabmode
to scrollable the problem exists.
can someone help me to achieve this, please.
Here is my xaml code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<TabbedPage xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
xmlns:android="clr-namespace:Xamarin.Forms.PlatformConfiguration.AndroidSpecific;assembly=Xamarin.Forms.Core"
android:TabbedPage.BarItemColor="LightGray"
android:TabbedPage.BarSelectedItemColor="White"
android:TabbedPage.IsSmoothScrollEnabled="True"
x:Class="MyApp.Views.DashBoardTabbedPage" BarBackgroundColor="#00abbf">
<!--Pages can be added as references or inline-->
</TabbedPage>
xaml.cs constructor
var _dashboardview = new DashBoard();
_dashboardview.Title = "1";
_dashboardview.IconImageSource = "refresh";
this.Children.Add(_dashboardview); //Added other 3 tabs in this way
On<Android>().SetToolbarPlacement(ToolbarPlacement.Bottom);
If you are interested you can change your application base page to the newer Shell type, then use a combination of nesting Tabbar
and Tab
to define bottom and upper tabs. Although the default behavior is that beyond 5 bottom tabs the remaining ones will be hidden in a grouped list accessed thru a 3 dots "More" menu on the right edge.
But, if you prefer having scrollable tabs, I recommend using either one of the below package as it is not built-in inside Xamarin.Forms:
TabView
gives great control and customization options for your tabs, including a built-in scrolling, the documentation will soon be available the same for the first stable release (planned for this week but already available in pre-releases), but meantime you can take a look at TabView. Please note that this packages comes with plenty of diverse and helpful features not only for Tabs.TabType.Scrollable
.
