Xamarin Forms Update

[Supreet]

Hi, 

I was very pleased to see the new ListView control for xamarin from you today. We have been a Telerik customer for over 4 years now & xamarin controls from Telerik is the last thing I would ever ask for. 

I just need to understand this. As of today, in the current version (April 23rd release) What controls are available to be used cross platform in Xamarin Forms? 

 

Thanks 
ST

Hello ST,

There is a green section in the UI for Xamarin page which gives information about which control is supported where: http://www.telerik.com/xamarin-ui

With the current lists given there, it should be concluded that we support Chart and Calendar for Xamarin Forms. 

Soon, you can expect SideDrawer and ListView for Xamarin Forms as described in our Roadmap for Xamarin.

Thanks Nikolay, 

I'll wait for the Q2 update. Do you have a date on when the Q2 is out? 

Thanks

Hi ST,

Q2 2015 is expected to ship in the week of June 22. I hope this time frame will fit into your development plans.

That's great thanks. I will wait for the controls to be out.

Hi Nikolay,

Looking forward to the listview especially. It'll be part of our next app, chart has been added successfully to the current forms project.

Hi guys,

I am glad to inform you that a few days ago we released a Beta version of Q2 2015 including ListView for Xamarin.Forms (Beta). More information you can read here: http://www.telerik.com/blogs/q2-ui-for-xamarin-beta-debuts-listview-for-xamarin.forms 

The official ListView for Xamarin.Forms is due in by the end of June.

Hi Nikolay,

 

Thanks for the heads up.

Is slidedrawer released for beta too?

I'm working on an urgent demo and slidedrawer would be nice to add.

Thanks,

Norman.

Hello Norman,

The ListView for Xamarin.Forms took more resources than expected, so we have to postpone the release of the SideDrawer for Q2 2015 SP1. Q2 2015 SP1 is expected in mid-August.

Apologies for any inconvenience that this change may cause.
