Rating Bar stars size varies on different solutions(i.e Android,IOS,windows)

[uday kumar]

HI,

 First i wanna thank you for this rating control.. Its very good. But when i deploy in xamarin forms i found the size of the stars are varying and also in android the stars were very small and blurred . when i click on the stars in android the background of the stars also changing . here is my xaml 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:rating="clr-namespace:Syncfusion.SfRating.XForms;assembly=Syncfusion.SfRating.XForms"

              xmlns:syncfusion="clr-namespace:Syncfusion.SfRotator.XForms;assembly=Syncfusion.SfRotator.XForms"

             x:Class="Factail.Views.Page3">

  <StackLayout>

    <rating:SfRating x:Name="rating"  BackgroundColor="White" Precision="Half" TooltipPlacement="TopLeft" TooltipPrecision="2"  TooltipBackgroundColor="Blue" TooltipTextColor="Red"></rating:SfRating>

  </StackLayout>

</ContentPage>

Can anyone suggest me how to overcome this and make my rating bar look clean in android and also adjust the rating stars in all platforms??

Hi Uday, 

Thanks for contacting Syncfusion Support.

Query: Size of the stars are varying and also in android the stars were very small

The size of the control may not be the same across all (Android,iOS,Windows) platforms which is due to the variation in device and screen specifications. In this case, please check for the platform type and vary the Rating items size by using ItemSize, ItemSpacing properties and code example for the same as follows.


 

            if (Device.OS == TargetPlatform.Android)
            {   

               rating.ItemSize = 30;   

               rating.ItemSpacing = 20;  
          }    

    

Query: Size of the stars are varying and also in android the stars were very blurred

                                                    <OnPlatform.Android>

                                                        <OnIdiom x:TypeArguments="x:Double" Phone="15" Tablet="20" />

                                                    </OnPlatform.iOS>

                                                    <OnPlatform.WinPhone>

                                                        <OnIdiom x:TypeArguments="x:Double" Phone="15" Tablet="20" Desktop="25" />

                                                    </OnPlatform.WinPhone>

                                                </OnPlatform>

                                            </rating:SfRating.ItemSize>

ItemSize appears to be integer but I cant figure out how to do it as style dynamically like above. Please always consider a binding instead of direct casting when you give examples. because direct casting might be not possible always when using in ListView datatemplate for example.

Regarding problem with stars appearing blurry, please consider using svg items as default instead of png. so we wont have this problem if already not. it will help us to keep size of the SfRating as minimum as well.

Hi Emil,

Thanks for the update.

Query 1:Is it not possible to change ItemSize using OnPlatform in xaml?

We have checked your requirement from our side and we have modified your code sample and provide the Int instead of Double TypeArguments. Please find the sample from the below link.  

Sample: http://www.syncfusion.com/downloads/support/forum/124245/ze/SfRatingSample-884862906 

Query 2: Please consider using svg items as default instead of png

In our current implementation we have drawn the rating starts using Paint and we have not used any Png images. So can you please explain in details the difficulties faced in SfRating control so that we can help you in achieving that.

Please let us know if you have any other queries.

Hi,

I have recently used this plugin. It really good because you guys are providing for free access. Here i'm using my mobile instead emulator, so when I render in android v6.0.1 stars are changing its colors like a disco ball. Immediate reply is highly appreciable. Please solve this. 

I have customized a little bit.

 <rating:SfRating Value="{Binding Rating}" ItemCount="5" ItemSize="14" ReadOnly="True">

                                                    <rating:SfRating.RatingSettings>

                                                        <rating:SfRatingSettings RatedFill="#f1b500" UnRatedFill="Gray" RatedStrokeWidth="0" UnRatedStrokeWidth="0" />

                                                    </rating:SfRating.RatingSettings>

                                                </rating:SfRating>
