Sometimes it is useful for an app to launch at login. While a user can always accomplish this in the system preferences, having the possibility to turn on auto-launching inside the app is better.This tutorial will show how. This tutorial is based on this one but is more detailed and Xamarin-oriented. Continue reading
This one will be short. Some time ago I published new Slider component (yes, one more boring slider component). But not just a slider but a double-thumb slider (also known as range slider). Control is available for Xamarin iOS, Android, UWP and Xamarin.Forms. More details on GitHub. NuGet packages are available here and here.
Grunt perk in the Fallout: New Vegas
Couple of weeks ago I opted for Grunt to build my Tesseract.Xamarin Nuget package. Today I will tell you why I decided to take this approach. I will be talking about my own experience and for some of you this information can be obvious but I hope that it will be useful for some of you as well. Continue reading
In the previous blog post I brought up the brand new Tesseract OCR wrapper for Xamarin. In this post I will give you some details about how to increase speed or/and quality of image recognition. Continue reading
If you’re thinking about getting image recognition into a Xamarin app check out this open source Tesseract OCR port I’ve put together for Xamarin. Few weeks ago this question was asked on StackOverflow and I was surprised to find that there is no free OCR for Xamarin (neither for iOS nor for Android). What developer does when he founds that there is nice and open-source library for other platforms but not for the platform he is working with? Of course he migrates the library. So I created wrappers for Tesseract OCR for Xamarin.iOS and Xamarin.Android and also for Xamarin.Forms. In this post I will give some details about the library, will show how to use it and will tell about some issues and workarounds. Continue reading
This is my first ever blog post so it could be a little bit muddled. Today I’d like to present funny and maybe useful stuff for Xamarin.Forms (yes I like Xamarin.Forms). I will show how to implement theming in Xamarin.Forms. Continue reading
