is for C# and is called the code behind file.Ĭhange the FactsView.xaml file’s content to this: FactsView.xaml is the view part of the component, declaring which components are included and their visual appearance, including layout. Select Xamarin.Forms to the left and Content View in the middle ( not the one with C# in a parenthesis), and enter “FactsView” in the Name field:Ĭlick Add, and two new files will be created. Now it’s time to build a user interface for getting Chuck Norris facts! Right-click the project ChuckNorrisFacts, select Add and then New Item…. If you want to run the Android or iOS versions, you must right-click the project you want and then select Set as StartUp Project. This means that hitting F5 will run this as a Windows application. Notice that the last project, ChuckNorrisFacts.UWP (Universal Windows) is in bold text. The others are for platform-specific code, and you may as well collapse them as I have done in the image above.
The first one is the only one you will work on. The Solution Explorer on the right contains four projects: Then check all platforms and select the template Blank: Start Visual Studio, select Create a new project, and select the template Mobile App (Xamarin.Forms) and then click Next:Įnter “ChuckNorrisFacts” for Project name and then click the button Next.

Xamarin Forms comes free with Visual Studio 2019 community edition from Microsoft.
Happily, Xamarin Forms is the perfect tool for the job, and makes it a breeze to create an app! With Xamarin Forms your app will run on all three platforms from a single codebase. Most of the rest of us could probably do with some help. Chuck Norris could easily make a single app run on all of the platforms iOS, Android, and Windows - without any frameworks or tools.
