Displaying Badge in TabItem Header area with/without using HeaderContent property

Question

Hi,

1. Do you support or have an example of attaching a badge (circle with numeric value inside it) to the TabBar Item next to the IconFont?

2. If not, I am trying to make use of the badge at https://github.com/xabre/xamarin-forms-tab-badge with the SfTabView; but haven't been successful.

I tried assigning it at the tabview:SfTabItem level but haven't been successful yet.

OR

3. Do you have an example where I simply provide a two digit numeric value as a suffix to the title via binding ?

e.g. Title = "ABC" + " (" + {Binding SfTabItemCounter1} + ")" that results in Title as ABC (45)

the value of SfTabItemCounter1 = 45

I would prefer your help using #1 or #2

I am not really interested using HeaderContent property. Using that changes the font style of label, IconFont completely unless you are exposing that style to be applied directly at the HeaderContent level or at each view element used inside the HeaderContent.

Your thoughts will be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Nilesh,

Greetings from Syncfusion.

Query1: Do you support or have an example of attaching a badge

Currently we don’t have direct support for having the badge in the TabHeader in our TabView control. We have already considered this and logged a feature report for the same which will be available in any of our upcoming Volume releases.

Query2: I am trying to make use of the badge at https://github.com/xabre/xamarin-forms-tab-badge

This is a custom render created to support TabbedPage and cannot be used for any other controls including the TabView.

Query3: Do you have an example where I simply provide a two digit numeric value as a suffix to the title via binding ?

Currently we have the only option is to have HeaderContent and have labels to achieve your requirement. Since we have defining the labels in the sample we can style it in the way we need and can achieve your requirement.

Please have the sample that we have prepared using HeaderContent and please let us know if you find any requirement to be achieved in this.

Hi Paul,

#1 What's the ETA for the release of this feature? It is not clear when you say "in any of our upcoming Volume releases."

Is there a beta release that I can work with? Can you share with me the link of your product roadmap?

#3 I appreciate your help with the example; but I feel that HeaderContent is an overkill for what I am needing, especially when feature in #1 is in the works

Please help me getting access to your beta copy of SfTabView.

Thanks

Currently we do not have immediate plan to implement this feature in our SfTabView control. So, this will be considered in our feature releases based on other priority features planned. Kindly visit our Website periodically to get the latest updates regarding our progress. 
  
Query: "Can you share with me the link of your product roadmap?" 
 
Currently we have not yet finalized our RoadMap for our upcoming Volume 4 2018 release. Once finalized it will be updated in the below link. We will let you know once updated.
