[iOS] Cannot customize the content cards unviewed indicator

[mr-coin-coin]

Hello,

I am using the current last version (1.21.1) of your binding library, and I would like to change the color of the content card unviewed indicator.

I have been following the official documentation for iOS to customize content card, but the thing is that I'm not able to reuse the proposed methods to customize the content card, though they have been marked as "exported" in the ApiDefinition.cs file.

For example, I cannot reuse following methods exposed in the ABKContentCardsTableViewController :

• void RegisterTableViewCellClasses ();
• void SetUpUI ();

Is it normal ?

Here are some solutions I have tried so far, but still have some issues I'm not able to solve :

Solution 1

public class InboxPageRenderer : PageRenderer
{
        ABKContentCardsTableViewController cardsTableViewController;
        
        public InboxPageRenderer()
        {
            cardsTableViewController = ABKContentCardsTableViewController.GetNavigationContentCardsViewController();
            cardsTableViewController.TableView
                .RegisterClassForCellReuse(typeof(CustomClassicContentCardCell), "ABKClassicCardCell");
        }

        public override void ViewDidLoad()
        {
            base.ViewDidLoad();
            
            AddChildViewController(this.cardsTableViewController);
            View.Add(this.cardsTableViewController.View);
	}
}

Solution 2

  
public class InboxPageRenderer : PageRenderer
{
        CustomContentCardsTableViewController cardsTableViewController;
        
        public InboxPageRenderer()
        {
            cardsTableViewController = new CustomContentCardsTableViewController(IntPtr.Zero);
            cardsTableViewController.PopulateContentCards();
        }

        public override void ViewDidLoad()
        {
            base.ViewDidLoad();
			
            AddChildViewController(cardsTableViewController);
            View.Add(cardsTableViewController.View);
	}
}

public class CustomContentCardsTableViewController : ABKContentCardsTableViewController
{
    public CustomContentCardsTableViewController(IntPtr handle) : base(handle)
    {
        this.TableView.RegisterClassForCellReuse(typeof(CustomClassicContentCardCell), "ABKClassicCardCell");
    }

    public override void PopulateContentCards()
    {
        NSMutableArray<ABKContentCard> unViewedCards = new NSMutableArray<ABKContentCard>();
        
        foreach (var card in Appboy.SharedInstance.ContentCardsController.ContentCards)
        {
            if (card is ABKClassicContentCard classic)
            {
                classic.Viewed = false;
                unViewedCards.Add(classic);
            }
        }

        Cards = unViewedCards;
    }
}

And here is my CustomClassicContentCardCell

public class CustomClassicContentCardCell : ABKClassicContentCardCell
{
    protected CustomClassicContentCardCell(IntPtr handle) : base(handle)
    {
        // Note: this .ctor should not contain any initialization logic.
    }

    UIView unviewedLineView;
    public override UIView UnviewedLineView
    {
        get => unviewedLineView;
        set
        {
            unviewedLineView = value;
            unviewedLineView.BackgroundColor = Color.FromHex("#E60078").ToUIColor();
        }
    }
}

Could you please help me into changing the color of the unread indicator ?

Hi @Bucimis , did you already achieve in customizing the unviewed indicator color with this binding library ?

[Bucimis]

@mr-coin-coin thanks for letting us know. Quick question, are you using the normal Xamarin UI, Forms, or MAUI?

[mr-coin-coin]

Hi ! I'm using your library in a Xamarin.Forms app (v5.0.0.2012)

@mr-coin-coin thanks for the context! It's in our roadmap to investigate and fix this if possible, most likely on the order of 4-6 weeks.
