Overview
The Xamarin.Android ComboBox control (drop-down) is a text box component that allows users to type a value or choose an option from a list of predefined options. It has several out-of-the-box features, such as data binding, filtering, UI customization, and custom templates.
Editable and non-editable modes
In editable mode, the combo box allows users to edit in the text box that shows the suggestion in drop-down list based on the input. Non-editable mode is used to prevent users from typing and select from drop-down list.
Filtering
You can pick from various filtering options such as starts with, contains, and ends with. You can also pick whether to filter with or without case sensitivity.
First occurrence
Highlights the matching text that occurs first.
Multiple occurrence
Highlights the matching text that occurs multiple times.
Perform filtering when needed
The combo box control starts offering matches as soon as users start typing. This feature can be changed by setting the number of characters required to start matching.
Auto fill
The combo box component has autofill option. This completes the word that users type from the suggestion text. So, the end users can search for the items easily.It suggests a list of filtered items in a pop-up or appends the rest of the suggested words in the input area. This also appends the matched item and displays the list of filtered items suggested in a pop-up at the same time.
Pop-up placement
If the control is at the bottom of the application, where the default keyboard appears and hides the pop-up, the pop-up can be placed at the top.
Multiple selection
The input field has been designed to address scenarios such as email address bars. You can select multiple items with token representation or simply divide them with a delimiter.
Token representation
Customizable token representation allows users to remove an item with its close button.
Delimiter
Selected items can be divided with desired characters such as “$” for dollar separation or ‘,’ for traditional comma separation.
UI customization
The combobox control can be thoroughly customized in the following areas.
Custom template
The control accepts a template for pop-ups to change the look and feel of the items.
Header and Footer template
You can design your own header and footer for the pop-up list using the header and footer template.
Custom view in text area
The control accepts any custom view in the place of the text box.
Appearance
By default, the customizable appearance of the control is designed to adopt native look and feel of the deployment platform.
Color customization
The color of pop-ups and text can be customized to fit the application design.
Font size
