Hello,
I need your valuable suggestion to choose perfect tool for my app development. Basically I choose Xamarin for cross platform app development for iOS, Android and WP.
I have started with Xamarin.Forms. But now little bit confused as I need huge customisation of screens that is not possible or very tough in Xaml (Xamarin.Forms). In that case, I am thinking to use platform specific screen/UI from Xamarin.Forms PCL. I am thinking right way? Please let me know your valuable feedback.
My actual plan is-
- Start project with Xamarin.Forms PCL
- Design the screens/pages with Xaml if possible. Some pages are really simple (login/signup etc) to do with Xaml.
- Design some pages/screens with platform specific sdk and interact with them from PCL project.
I have already idea about DependencyService, MessagingCenter, CustomRenderer etc.
*** But I need to know is it possible to call native pages/screens (storyboard/xib) from Xamarin.Forms PCL project (where my common UI screens are available)? If possible then how I can do that?
Please let me know your valuable feedback regarding my concern.
Thank you,
Arefin
