Morning Guy
How r u?
I have it MapExtend For Xamarin.Forms
Maybe we can do a better job together, what do you think?
@PaulPatarinski , @RafaelMoura:
I think, the suggestion of Rafael has the right (community-) spirit...
Then we would receive a stellar "ExtendedMapExtend" that would fit all our needs
@FredyWenger Or StellarMap LoL
@PaulPatarinski I wait your opinion
It does sound like a good idea. I created the following issue :
https://github.com/paulpatarinski/Xamarin.Forms.Plugins/issues/45
Maybe we can move the conversation there.
@PaulPatarinski:
Yes... that's the right sprit - thank you
@PaulPatarinski
AWESOME Guy \õ/
So let's do an amazing job together
Let's use my or your repository?
Feel free to change my plugin, but if remind, we will try our best to leave things as they are in each of the platforms
The idea is to bring the user already knows the iPhone, Android and WPhone;)
C'mon guys, together for the best map in the world!
@pierce.boggan See
Hello I asked it already in Github, but maybe I can get here an answer from someone who used it before.
How can I use the MapExtend in Xaml?
Here is the Issue on Github
https://github.com/paulpatarinski/Xamarin.Forms.Plugins/issues/52
For the normal maps i would use that line to reference the maps
xmlns:maps="clr-namespace:Xamarin.Forms.Maps;assembly=Xamarin.Forms.Maps"For MapExtend I use
xmlns:mapExtend="clr-namespace:Xamarin.Forms.Maps;assembly=Xam.Plugin.MapExtend"and that
<mapExtend:MapExtend WidthRequest="320" HeightRequest="200" HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand" />But I got an FileNotFoundException, when I want to use MapExtend in Xaml that
Could not load file or assembly 'Xam.Plugin.MapExtend' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.Do you have a solution?
1.5.0 is now out on nuget. This is a pre-release, so bugs are to be expected.
Please report any issues you find here : https://github.com/paulpatarinski/Xamarin.Forms.Plugins/issues
Docs and samples coming soon...For now take a look at the Sample App
@FokkeVermeulen Did you find the solution how to use it in the xaml file?
@Neelam Yeah it works Create an customMaps.cs and reference that in the xaml.
