ContentPage as tab view item?

[Cristian Merli]

Hi,

I have been using the standard xamarin forms TabbedPage, and now I would like to switch to SfTabView.

Before, all my tabs were actually ContentPages, but now I was looking at the SfTabView documentation, and it looks like I can't use my content pages anymore.

How can I still reuse my ContentPages inside a <tabView:SfTabItem.Content>?

Ideally,

<tabView:SfTabItem.Content>

    <views:MyContentPage></views:MyContentPage>

</tabView:SfTabItem.Content>

Hi Cristian Merli,

 

Thanks for contacting Syncfusion Support.

 

In our current implementation there is no possible way to set the ContentPage as a SfTabItem ContentView. SfTabView is a content view control were each TabItem can hold a view of a ContentPage. We have also considered your request as a feature and logged feature report for the same.

 

This feature will be available any of upcoming releases.

Rathanakumar S.

I'd like this ability as well.

[Paul Anderson S]

Hi Andrew, 

 

Thanks for the update. 

 

We have already considered the requirement in SfTabView as a feature and added to our feature list. Currently we don’t have immediate plans. This will be implemented in any of our upcoming Volume releases.

Hi Anson, 

 

Currently this feature request is in validated state and will be considered for implementation at some point. While this feature itself is important, there are other features with higher priority so we are afraid we cannot provide you an exact timeline on when this feature will be available in our suite. We suggest you to follow this, for further updates when available.

SfTabView is amazing control but needs to support ContentPage on TabItem to be perfect.

Please implement this.

Hi Fabio,

Greetings from Syncfusion.

We will consider this feature to implement in any of our upcoming releases, but we don't have immediate plan for this .We would like to inform that you can set the content of content page  to the SfTabItem as like in below KB.

Hi,

I will also need this feature. 

My goal si to be able to load a sfbackdroip page in a tab.

When will it be available?

Thanks,

[Sakthivel Palaniyappan]

Hi Alexis,

We would like to let you know that the current implementation of SfTabView has the Xamarin View as a base and View cannot hold a page. So, it is not possible to provide this feature in our existing TabView and it will break the application for the existing users. We have considered this as a new component supporting page types in TabView and we will implement the control in our upcoming future release.

However you can achieve your requirement by setting ContentPage content to SfTabItem as like below code snippet.

XAML:

 

<tabView:SfTabView  Items="{Binding Items}" VisibleHeaderCount="-1" > 

    </tabView:SfTabView> 

ViewModel:

 

  public TabItemCollection Items 

        { 

            get { return items; } 

            set 

            { 

                items = value; 

                OnPropertyChanged("Items"); 

            } 

        } 

        public ViewModel() 

        { 

            Items = new TabItemCollection(); 

            Items.Add(new SfTabItem { Content = new TabPage2().Content, Title = "Page1" }); 

            Items.Add(new SfTabItem { Content = new TabPage3().Content, Title = "Page2" }); 

            Items.Add(new SfTabItem { Content = new BackDropPage().Content, Title = "BacDropPage" }); 

 

        }

We have created sample based on this please find the sample from below,

Tried this method and it worked pretty well... except that I'm using prism and if I have a back button on any of the content pages in the tabbedview, it either doesn't work or crashes the app.

[Ruba Shanmugam]

Hi Billy,

Thanks for the update.

While running the SfTabView inside the navigation with the Prism application, we are also getting crash on the Android platform. So we have fixed this issue and find the asembly from below.

Assembly: https://www.syncfusion.com/downloads/support/directtrac/general/ze/TabViewPrism_Exception-500997318

Assembly version : 18.3.0.42

Since 18.3.0.42 is a weekly NuGet release, we are not able to generate patch 18.3.0.42 version. We can generate patch only for Main release and SP1 release versions, so we have provided the custom assemblies in 18.3.0.42.

Disclaimer:
Please note that we have created this for version 18.3.0.42 specifically to resolve the issue reported in this incident. If you have received other patches for the same version for other products, please apply all patches in the order received.

Please refer the below link for how to apply custom assemblies.
https://www.syncfusion.com/kb/8279/how-to-apply-the-custom-assemblies-when-configured-the-project-with-syncfusion-nuget

Fix for the reported issue will be included in our upcoming weekly NuGet release, which will be available on November 3rd, 2020.

Can you please check the provided fix with your application, and let us know whether the issue is resolved or not. Or if you are facing the crash issue in other platforms and let us share the details with replication sample it would be helpful for providing a better solution.

[Sakthivel Palaniyappan]

Hi Billy,

Sorry for the inconvenience.

We don’t have weekly NuGet release for this week, due to Volume 3, SP1 release. We have included the fix in our Volume 3, 2020 SP1 release, which is expected to be rolled out on first week of November 2020. We will let you know once it gets rolled out.

Sakthivel P.

Hello.

Is there a sample application for "ContentPage support for TabItem"? If the application is available, can you share it?
