[Solved] EditorType.Password

[Andreas Decke]

Hello,

I'm just about to replace my settings page with the DataForm. Unfortunately, I can not find an EditorType for a password! In the online documentation I find only one tip for iOS - but I need a tip (code) for Xamarin Forms.

Thanks in advance
Andreas

Hello Andreas,

Password editor is not exposed for the Xamarin.Forms DataForm. We've already logged this functionality as a feature request in our Ideas & Feedback portal - DataForm: Implement Password Editor. I suggest you follow the item in order to receive automatic notifications when some major updates are available.

Meanwhile you can achieve this functionality for android and iOS by creating custom DataForm renderer. I'm posting simple implementation of CustomDataFormRenderer that should give you the desired result:

iOS implementation:

public class CustomDataFormRenderer : DataFormRenderer
{
    protected override Type GetCustomEditorType(string propertyName, Type propertyType)
    {
        if (propertyName == "Password")
        {
            return typeof(TKDataFormPasswordEditor);
        }

        return base.GetCustomEditorType(propertyName, propertyType);
    }
}

Android implementation:

public class CustomDataFormRenderer : DataFormRenderer
{
    public CustomDataFormRenderer(Context context) : base(context)
    {
    }

    protected override EntityPropertyEditor GetCustomEditorForProperty(RadDataForm form, IEntityProperty nativeProperty, Telerik.XamarinForms.Input.DataForm.IEntityProperty property)
    {
        if (nativeProperty.Name() == "Password")
        {
            return new Com.Telerik.Widget.Dataform.Visualization.Editors.DataFormPasswordEditor(form, nativeProperty);
        }

        return base.GetCustomEditorForProperty(form, nativeProperty, property);
    }
}

I hope I've been helpful.
