How to implement lockscreen in Xamarin forms application?

TolulopeAsalu

I'm trying to get access to the device lockscreen in a xamarin forms pcl project. I have heard about third-party components such as Lockscreen and Passcode but i dont know how to go about it since this is a xamarin forms app not xamarin.android. How would i implement let's say Lockscreen in the android project of my xamarin forms application?

Hi @TolulopeAsalu,

Don't go that far, you can simply use the following plug-in ( * sample inside)

Yes it does. It would be more helpful if the code was in c#.

This package is not installed in my PCL project using Mac.
Could not install package 'FormsPinView 1.1.0'. You are trying to install this package into a project that targets '.NETPortable,Version=v4.5,Profile=Profile111', but the package does not contain any assembly references or content files that are compatible with that framework. For more information, contact the package author.

Getting this error.
