Visual Studio Project Image Brand new to Xamarin and I have wasted more than a day trying to get a simple image to display on a simple page.
I am using Visual Studio 2017.
The image is set as an embedded resource (see the attached image). There are no errors when run, the image simply doesn't display.
I have tried the following:
<Image Source="XF0003.Assets.logo.png" />
<Image Source="Assets.logo.png" />
<Image Source="logo.png" />
<Image Source="{local:ImageResource XF0003.Assets.logo.png}" />
<Image Source="{local:ImageResource Assets.logo.png}" />
<Image Source="{local:ImageResource logo.png}" />
XAML Page Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<ContentPage xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
xmlns:local="clr-namespace:XF0003"
x:Class="XF0003.MainPage">
<StackLayout>
<Image Source="Assets.logo.png" />
<Label Text="Username" />
<Entry x:Name="usernameEntry" Placeholder="username" />
<Label Text="Password" />
<Entry x:Name="passwordEntry" IsPassword="true" />
<Button Text="Login" Clicked="PageOne" />
<Label x:Name="messageLabel" />
</StackLayout>
</ContentPage>
XAML.CS Page Code:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using Xamarin.Forms;
namespace XF0003
{
public partial class MainPage : ContentPage
{
public MainPage()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private async void PageOne(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Navigation.InsertPageBefore(new Page1(), this);
await Navigation.PopAsync();
}
}
[ContentProperty("Source")]
public class ImageResourceExtension : Xamarin.Forms.Xaml.IMarkupExtension
{
public string Source { get; set; }
public object ProvideValue(IServiceProvider serviceProvider)
{
if (Source == null)
{
return null;
}
// Do your translation lookup here, using whatever method you require
var imageSource = ImageSource.FromResource(Source);
return imageSource;
}
}
}
