PDF Viewer
It is here! RadPdfViewer Beta for Xamarin Forms. PDF documents have been around for quite some time and they promise to stay. Now there is no need to open external apps to view PDF documents. They are shown right in your app, and the viewer can be configured as per developer’s preferences. RadPdfViewer comes with:
- PDF Document Visualization: Display PDF documents with text, images, shapes, colors, lists, bullets and more
- Single Page and Continuous Scrolling Support: Choose your preferred presentation
- Commands Support: Be it Zooming, Navigating from page to page, FitToWidth or Toggling the Layout mode, you have it
- Toolbar Support: With the built-in toolbar, all commands and actions are already set in place:
- NavigateToPreviousPage
- NavigateToPage
- NavigateToNextPage
- ZoomIn
- ZoomOut
- FitToWidth
- ToggleLayout
You only need to decide which ones you need in the application.
Calendar & Scheduling: Recurring Appointments and Add/Edit Appointment views
With this release, we introduce recurring appointments and built-in views for adding/editing/deleting appointments in RadCalendar. You can now add appointments with recurrence rule. The control exposes powerful APIs for creating various recurring patterns – from every working day to every third Monday of the month. And then there’s more – with the new built-in views all you need is to set a single property to enable adding and editing the appointments including the recurring ones. You can choose whether to edit a single occurrence or the entire series.
Popup
Ever needed to display a popup with more complex content than just a string and a button? Meet RadPopup. It allows you to display arbitrary content and place it at a location of your choice – be it a point on the screen or relative to an existing view. Need a context menu for your listview, treeview or another navigation control? RadPopup saves the day. You can choose whether you want the popup dismissed when tapping outside it or you need the user to perform certain action within the popup. Setting a single property ensures there’s a background added to the whole screen, so the user is focused on the popup.
RadListView: Header & Footer and Reorder in Grouped Scenario
You asked, we listened. RadListView now features scrollable header and footer. Easily configured through HeaderTemplate and FooterTemplate properties, you can now add custom content in the top and in the bottom of your listviews. In addition, we added support for reordering items when the control is grouped.
