How to use multiple resource to Scheduler in Xamarin.Forms?
The Xamarin.Forms Schedule control allows you to use multiple resources. The default appearance of the resource can be customized by using the `ResourceItemTemplate` property of the schedule.
Step 1
Create a class for custom appointment details and resources for scheduling the appointment.
public class Meeting
{
public string EventName { get; set; }
public int Capacity { get; set; }
public DateTime From { get; set; }
public DateTime To { get; set; }
public Color Color { get; set; }
public double MinimumHeight { get; set; }
public bool IsAllDay { get; set; }
public ObservableCollection<object> Resources { get; set; }
}
public class Employees : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
private string name;
private object id;
private Color color;
public string Name
{
get { return name; }
set
{
name = value;
this.OnPropertyChanged("Name");
}
}
public object ID
{
get { return id; }
set
{
id = value;
this.OnPropertyChanged("ID");
}
}
public Color Color
{
get { return color; }
set
{
color = value;
this.OnPropertyChanged("Color");
}
}
public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
protected virtual void OnPropertyChanged(string propertyName)
{
if (this.PropertyChanged != null)
{
this.PropertyChanged(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(propertyName));
}
}
}
Step 2
Use `Button` as an item template for displaying resources and bind it to the `ResourceItemTemplate` property of schedule.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Button xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
x:Class="Schedule_MultipleResource.WithResource"
Text="{Binding Name}"
TextColor="White"
BackgroundColor="{Binding Color}">
</Button>
Step 3
Mapping the custom appointments to the `StartTimeMapping`, `EndTimeMapping`, `ColorMapping`, `SubjectMapping`, `ResourceIdsMapping`, and `AppointmentMapping` of schedule to display the custom appointments.
<schedule:SfSchedule
x:Name="Schedule"
HeaderHeight="50"
ViewHeaderHeight="40"
HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand"
ScheduleView="TimelineView"
VerticalOptions="FillAndExpand"
DataSource="{Binding ListOfMeeting}"
SelectedResources="{Binding SelectedResources}"
ScheduleResources="{Binding Resources}"
TimeInterval="720"
ShowResourceView="True"
ResourceItemTemplate="{Binding WithResource}"
ResourceViewMode="Absolute">
<schedule:SfSchedule.ViewHeaderStyle>
<schedule:ViewHeaderStyle DateFontSize="20" DayFontSize="20">
</schedule:ViewHeaderStyle>
</schedule:SfSchedule.ViewHeaderStyle>
<schedule:SfSchedule.TimelineViewSettings>
<schedule:TimelineViewSettings DaysCount="7">
<schedule:TimelineViewSettings.LabelSettings>
<schedule:TimelineLabelSettings>
<schedule:TimelineLabelSettings.DateFormat>
<OnPlatform x:TypeArguments="x:String">
<On Platform="UWP" Value="%d ddd"></On>
<On Platform="Android" Value="d EEE"></On>
<On Platform="iOS" Value="d EEE"></On>
<On Platform="WPF" Value="%d ddd"></On>
</OnPlatform>
</schedule:TimelineLabelSettings.DateFormat>
</schedule:TimelineLabelSettings>
</schedule:TimelineViewSettings.LabelSettings>
</schedule:TimelineViewSettings>
</schedule:SfSchedule.TimelineViewSettings>
<schedule:SfSchedule.AppointmentMapping>
<schedule:ScheduleAppointmentMapping
ColorMapping="Color"
EndTimeMapping="To"
IsAllDayMapping="IsAllDay"
StartTimeMapping="From"
SubjectMapping="EventName"
ResourceIdsMapping="Resources"/>
</schedule:SfSchedule.AppointmentMapping>
<schedule:SfSchedule.ResourceMapping>
<schedule:SfSchedule.ResourceViewSettings>
<schedule:ResourceViewSettings SelectionMode ="Multiple"/>
</schedule:SfSchedule.ResourceViewSettings>
<schedule:SfSchedule.BindingContext>
<local:ScheduleViewModel/>
</schedule:SfSchedule.BindingContext>
</schedule:SfSchedule>
Step 4
Also, map the custom resources to `Name`, `Id`, and `Color` of `ResourceMapping`. Then, customize the appearance of the resource view using the `ResourceItemTemplate` property of schedule.
<schedule:SfSchedule.ResourceMapping> <schedule:ResourceMapping Name="Name" Id="ID" Color="Color"/> </schedule:SfSchedule.ResourceMapping>
