[forms-devel] Add Ratio property to MasterDetailPage

[Michael Rumpler]

I also came across this problem. In my app I use a MasterDetailPage with MasterBehavior=Split. This way Master and Detail are always shown side by side.

If the Masters width is already enough in portrait, then I wouldn’t want it to become even wider in landscape. So a ratio would not suffice in this case.

I would also like the user to be able to change the width on their own (drag the separator). When the master width falls below a certain changeable threshold then it should be closed like in the other MasterBehavior settings. The MGSplitViewController provides this on iOS (https://github.com/mattgemmell/MGSplitViewController).

 

Regards,

Michael

A ratio like control is needed. However upon further thought a simple ratio may not provide the desired effect. It is easy to imagine scenaries where fixed widths are desired as well, or stepped sizing. I wonder if interrogating the Page itself in a Measure call is the best approach here.

Hello,

 

I would like to talk about adding a "Ratio" property to the MasterDetailPage.

 

On platforms that support MasterDetailPage can be handled the master page size.

So I think that Xamarin can provide this function as a common property.

Also using this property could make a MasterDetailPage more easily.

 

"Ratio" property have a value from 0 to 1.

It means percentage of screen covered.

 

What do you think about this ?
