Adding icons to appointments

[Olaf Bartelt]

How would I go about adding icons to the appointments in day/(work) week view? I know I could pass in a custom view in AppointmentLoaded, but how would I know the size of the appointment, etc.?

Hi Olaf, 

  

Thank you for contacting Syncfusion Support. 

  

Based on your requirement, we have created a simple sample with adding icons through custom view for appointments in AppointmentLoaded event in Schedule Xamarin.Android. Appointment rendering size can be known from the “Bounds” property in the corresponding event. 

  

Sample link:  Schedule_CustomAppointments
 

 

Code snippet: 

  

void Schedule_AppointmentLoaded(object sender, AppointmentLoadedEventArgs e)
        {
            //UI Bounds of an appointment.
            var appointmentBounds = e.Bounds;

            FrameLayout frameLayout = new FrameLayout(this);
            frameLayout.SetBackgroundColor(Color.Red);
            TextView monthCellText = new TextView(this);
            monthCellText.SetBackgroundColor(Color.Red);

            monthCellText.Text = e.Appointment.Subject;
            monthCellText.SetTextColor(Color.White);
            monthCellText.TextSize = (14);
            monthCellText.SetPadding(8, 60, 0, 0);

            ImageView imageView = new ImageView(this);
            imageView.SetPadding(8, 0, 0, 0);
            frameLayout.AddView(monthCellText);

            if (monthCellText.Text == "B'Day Party")
            {
                imageView.SetImageResource(Resource.Drawable.BirthDate);
            }
            else if(monthCellText.Text == "Health Checkup")
            {
                imageView.SetImageResource(Resource.Drawable.hospital);
            }

            LinearLayout.LayoutParams layoutParams = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(46, 60);
            imageView.LayoutParameters = (layoutParams);
            frameLayout.AddView(imageView);
            e.View = frameLayout;    
        }

Hi Swathi,

thanks, it's working like a charm! One thing I've noticed though is that the event handler doesn't seem to be called for all-day appointments. Is there any way to style those, too?

Hi Olaf,

Currently we don’t have support to customize all-day appointments in Schedule Xamarin.Android. We have and logged a feature request for the same in our database. We will provide support in any of our upcoming release. We will let you know once we have provided the support.

Please let us know if you have any query.

Regards,
Swathi G
