Sfschedule localization Android not working + how to set timeformat month inline

[Luuk]

Hey,

Well I have a little issue that I can't seem to be able to fix on my own. Right now I am trying to get my app to display Dutch date and days. This does work for API level <21 but not above.

I have set the following:

XAML:

ScheduleView="MonthView"

Locale="nl-NL"

EnableNavigation="True"

BackgroundColor="White"

VerticalOptions="FillAndExpand"

HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand"

ShowAppointmentsInline="True"

DataSource="{Binding DisplayedAppointments,Mode=TwoWay}">

[Luuk]

And for the other issue I would like to show the month inline date format to HH:mm instead of AM/PM

Hi Luuk, 

  

Thanks for your interest in Syncfusion products.  

  

Query 1: Localization 

  

In Locale property, Schedule Xamarin.Forms, only language code should be set to Locale property. Kindly refer the below code snippet to set localization for Dutch. 

  

//Localization for Dutch 

  

  sfschedule.Locale = "nl";  

  

 

  

Please let us know if you have any query on this. 

  

Query 2: Month Inline Time Format 

  

Currently we don’t have this support (to show the month inline date format to HH:mm instead of AM/PM) in our control. We have considered this implementation as a feature request, we will implement this feature in any of our upcoming volume release.

Hey,

Thanks for the reply, the first solution works and enables the dutch overview which is great!

I hope the monthinline am pm issue will get changed soon enough :) 

Also I have a qeustion how do I change the daylabel to show 24 hour format what's the correct syntax for this?

Here is our xaml:

 </controls:BNSchedule.Behaviors>

        <controls:BNSchedule.DayViewSettings>

          <schedule:DayViewSettings WorkStartHour="7" WorkEndHour="19" >

            <schedule:DayViewSettings.DayLabelSettings>

              <schedule:DayLabelSettings TimeFormat="HH:mm" />

            </schedule:DayViewSettings.DayLabelSettings>

          </schedule:DayViewSettings>

        </controls:BNSchedule.DayViewSettings>

Hi Luuk,

We are happy that the given solution has resolved your query. As per our earlier update we have considered to implement changing TimeFormat in MonthInIine view, we will let you know once implementation has done.

By setting TimeFormat in the DayLabelSettings you can achieve your requirement of setting TimeFormat to the DayView. As your code example, you can achieve the same in WeekView and WorkWeekView also. Please find the below code example,

[Xaml]

  

<schedule:SfSchedule >
<schedule:SfSchedule.DayViewSettings>
<schedule:DayViewSettings WorkStartHour="7" WorkEndHour="19" >
<schedule:DayViewSettings.DayLabelSettings>
<schedule:DayLabelSettings TimeFormat="HH:mm" />
</schedule:DayViewSettings.DayLabelSettings>
</schedule:DayViewSettings>
</schedule:SfSchedule.DayViewSettings>
</schedule:SfSchedule>
 

  

[c#]
 

daylabelsettings.TimeFormat = "HH:mm";
dayviewsettings.DayLabelSettings = daylabelsettings;
schedule.DayViewSettings = dayviewsettings;

If the given solution doesn’t meet your requirement, could you please revert us by providing more information about your query. It will be helpful for us analyze on it and provide you a solution.

Hey,

Well to eloborate on the issue :)

I can't seem to make the 24 hour format work in the dayview. I did manage to get it work on other view types (week,workweek) , but dayview does not seem to work. I will share my code below:

Dayview XAML:

 <controls:BNSchedule x:Name="Schedule"

                           ScheduleView="DayView"

                           Locale="nl"

                           EnableNavigation="True"

                           BackgroundColor="White"

                           HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand"

                           VerticalOptions="FillAndExpand"

                           DataSource="{Binding DisplayedAppointments,Mode=TwoWay}">

        <controls:BNSchedule.Behaviors>

          <behaviors:EventToCommandBehavior EventName="OnAppointmentLoadedEvent"

                                            Command="{Binding OnAppointmentLoadedCommand}"

                                            Converter="{StaticResource LoadedEventConverter}"/>

          <behaviors:EventToCommandBehavior EventName="VisibleDatesChangedEvent"

                                            Command="{Binding VisibleDateChangedCommand}"

                                            Converter="{StaticResource VisibleDateChangedEventConverter}"/>

          <behaviors:EventToCommandBehavior EventName="ScheduleCellTapped"

                                            Command="{Binding ScheduleCellTappedCommand}"

                                            Converter="{StaticResource ScheduleTappedEventConverter}"/>

        </controls:BNSchedule.Behaviors>

       <controls:BNSchedule >

          <controls:BNSchedule.DayViewSettings>

            <schedule:DayViewSettings WorkStartHour="7" WorkEndHour="19" >

              <schedule:DayViewSettings.DayLabelSettings>

                <schedule:DayLabelSettings TimeFormat="HH:mm" />

              </schedule:DayViewSettings.DayLabelSettings>

            </schedule:DayViewSettings>

          </controls:BNSchedule.DayViewSettings>

        </controls:BNSchedule>

      </controls:BNSchedule>

Weekview XAML:

 <controls:BNSchedule.Behaviors>

          <behaviors:EventToCommandBehavior EventName="OnAppointmentLoadedEvent"

                                           Command="{Binding OnAppointmentLoadedCommand}"

                                           Converter="{StaticResource LoadedEventConverter}"/>

          <behaviors:EventToCommandBehavior EventName="VisibleDatesChangedEvent"

                                            Command="{Binding VisibleDateChangedCommand}"

                                            Converter="{StaticResource VisibleDateChangedEventConverter}"/>

          <behaviors:EventToCommandBehavior EventName="ScheduleCellTapped"

                                            Command="{Binding ScheduleCellTappedCommand}"

                                            Converter="{StaticResource ScheduleTappedEventConverter}"/>

        </controls:BNSchedule.Behaviors>

        <schedule:SfSchedule.WeekViewSettings>

          <schedule:WeekViewSettings WorkStartHour="7" WorkEndHour="19" >

            <schedule:WeekViewSettings.WeekLabelSettings>

              <schedule:WeekLabelSettings TimeFormat="HH:mm" />

            </schedule:WeekViewSettings.WeekLabelSettings>

          </schedule:WeekViewSettings>

        </schedule:SfSchedule.WeekViewSettings>

      </controls:BNSchedule>

Thanks in advance,

Luuk

Hey Sivakamar,

You were absolutly right! Your example worked and made me debug my day page and lo and behold... I had a certain piece of leftover code in the codebehind which was causing this issue. It was instantiating a new dayviewschedule.

Thanks for your help :)!

Cheers,

Luuk

Thanks in advance,

Hi Luuk, 

 

As per our earlier update, we have already considered to provide Schedule MonthInlineCustomization support in Xamarin Forms. Currently we are working on it, we will include this feature in our upcoming Volume 1 release which is expected to be available by the month of February 2017.

hi Syncfusion team 

I'm using SfSchedule for my Xamarin form appilications and trying Schedule.Locale = "fa" or "fa-Ir"  in order to localize my applications 

everything looks so fine on UWP but when i run my android project, it dose not work as well as UWP. in UWP, I have Persian format in date time and all strings, however in android project it just converts the strings text, not date formats. I need  Persian form of date times in android and iOS as well as UWP 

here my codes...

            InitializeComponent();

            SfSchedule schedule = new SfSchedule();

            schedule.Locale = "fa";

            schedule.ScheduleView = ScheduleView.MonthView;

            this.Content = schedule;

I'll send the pictures of projects, as you can see today in UPW is 20th(Correct Persian calendar) but it shows on android simulator 10th (showing in default culture i guess).

Hi TeKkMoRi,  

 

As of now, SfSchedule won’t support Persian calendar or Hijri calendar in Xamarin.Forms Android and iOS. We have considered to provide Persian calendar or Hijri calendar support using SfSchedule in Xamarin.Forms and logged feature report for the same. We will implement this feature in any of our upcoming release.     

 

At the planning stage for every release cycle, we review all open features and identify features for implementation based on specific parameters including product vision, technological feasibility, and customer interest. We will let you know when this feature is implemented. We appreciate your patience until then.    

 

You can also communicate with us regarding the open features any time using our Feature Report page.
