A minimal status bar for iOS. It covers the top status bar and appears like the message is embedded within. StatusBar is available in the Xamarin Component Store as a free component download.
Note: This is not the recommended approach. Unless you are updating the binding manually and trying to test it out, I would recommend using the StatusBar component. It has a much more seamless integration into your application
- Optional: Re-download KGStatusBar from Kevin Gibbons. Remove KGStatusBar.h/.m from the Static Library Xcode project and add the new versions. Build the static library and reference it in the binding project.
- Build the binding.
- Reference the .dll built in your project.
- Open up the "Components" folder of the project you are wishing to add StatusBar to.
- Browse for StatusBar in the Component Store.
- Click "Add to App". The component will be downloaded and all references will be setup for you.
There is a sample available with the component, though you can easily get the sample to work with the binding by referencing the .dll instead of adding the component.
Prior to Use: Add a using directive to the top of the class you are wishing to use StatusBar for. using KGStatusBar;
Usage: StatusBar.ShowStatus ("Status message!"); StatusBar.ShowError ("Error message!"); StatusBar.ShowSuccess ("Success message!"); StatusBar.Dismiss ();
StatusBar is the Xamarin.iOS-capable version of KGStatusBar from Kevin Gibbon of Attachments.me. Kevin certainly deserves all the credit as all I have done is create the Xamarin.iOS binding for the library.
