How to remove selected date highlight in iOS

[Dev]

I have a RadCalendar in Week view mode that I'm using to allow users to jump to dates in an events list. The calendar displays indicators for dates that have events in the list. On iOS, if a user taps a date that does not have an indicator, a black highlight appears (see screenshot #1). Tapping a date with an indicator, does not show a highlight (see screenshot #2). On Android, there is no highlight no matter which dates the user taps on (i.e. always looks like screenshot #2).

How can I get rid of the highlight on iOS?

Hello,

Removing the selected date highlight of the iOS calendar is currently not exposed in Xamarin.Forms. However you can achieve that by creating a custom CalendarRenderer where you will have access to the native control and you can change the shape property of the calendar cell.

I'm posting simple implementation of CustomCalendarRenderer that should solve your problem:

public class CustomCalendarRenderer : CalendarRenderer
{
    protected override CalendarDelegate CreateCalendarDelegateOverride()
    {
        return new CustomCalendarDelegate();
    }
}

public class CustomCalendarDelegate : CalendarDelegate
{
    public override TKCalendarCell ViewForCellOfKind(TKCalendar calendar, TKCalendarCellType cellType)
    {
        if (cellType == TKCalendarCellType.Day)
        {
            CustomDayCell cell = new CustomDayCell();
            return cell;
        }

        return base.ViewForCellOfKind(calendar, cellType);
    }
}

public class CustomDayCell : TKCalendarDayCell
{
    public override void UpdateVisuals()
    {
        base.UpdateVisuals();
        this.Style.Shape = null;
    }
}

I hope I've been helpful.
