Set background of ResourceView (NOT the items)

[Elias P]

Is it possible to set the background color of the ResourceView in SfSchedule? (Not the items themselves - the container that holds the resources for the scheduler.)

[Elias P]

I have found the following (at least on Xamarin Forms - Android):

- Setting the Header background color shows the correct color in the previewer, but not during runtime

- To change the ResourceContainer's background color, I had to write a DependencyService that uses reflection to set the background. Relevant code below.

    public class Hack : IHack
    {
        public void Hack(SfSchedule schedule)
        {
            var nativeObject = typeof(SfSchedule).GetProperty("NativeObject", System.Reflection.BindingFlags.NonPublic | System.Reflection.BindingFlags.Instance).GetValue(schedule);
            var androidObject = nativeObject as Com.Syncfusion.Schedule.SfSchedule;

            var resourceContainer = androidObject.GetType().GetProperty("ResourceContainer", System.Reflection.BindingFlags.NonPublic | System.Reflection.BindingFlags.Instance).GetValue(androidObject) as Android.Widget.FrameLayout;

            resourceContainer.SetBackgroundColor(Android.Graphics.Color.Aqua);

        }
    }

Hi Elias, 

 

Thank you for your patience. 

 

We have checked your requirement of “Changing resource view container background color”. As of now, schedule doesn’t have direct support to change resource view container color, so we have logged an issue report for the same. After this fix, you can change container background color by changing Schedule background color. We will fix this and include the issue fix in our Weekly Nuget release which is expected to roll out on January 7, 2019. We appreciate your patience until then.

Hi Elias,                    

      

We have provided support to change “Resource view container background color” by changing the schedule background color and included the fix in our latest Weekly NuGet release update version 17.4.0.41 which is available for download (nuget.org).

 

As we have already mentioned you can change resource view container color by setting schedule background color property. Please refer the following code example for the same, 

 

[C#] 

schedule.BackgroundColor = Color.Cyan;
