Xamarin.Forms 4.4.0.991220-pre3 (4.4.0 Pre Release 3) Release Notes

Summary

Xamarin.Forms 4.4.0 introduces new controls, continued development for Shell and CollectionView, and many other quality improvements.

GIF Animations

The existing Image control now supports rendering GIF images. This is intended for small, short animations. Caching and streaming is not supported. The animation will play once or loop based on the metadata encoded into the image. To check and control playback, use the new IsAnimationPlaying bindable property.

<Image Source="animatedImage.gif"/>

Note: GIF animations are not supported on legacy Android renderers.

CarouselView (Preview)

Work continues on completing features for a rich CarouselView experience. For details on using CarouselView refer to the preview documentation.

IndicatorView

To display pagination dots for a CarouselView we have added an independent control that may be positioned anywhere you like, and which also supports adding custom templates with visual states. To associate an IndicatorView with a carousel, populate the attached property IndicatorView.ItemsSourceBy with the name of the carousel.

<CarouselView x:Name="myCarousel">
// content of your carousel
</CarouselView>
<IndicatorView 
   IndicatorColor="LightGray"
   SelectedIndicatorColor="Black"
   IndicatorSize="10" HorizontalOptions="Center"
   IndicatorView.ItemsSourceBy="myCarousel"/>

CarouselGallery Samples

Animation Enhancements

Contributed during Hacktoberfest, animation methods have been added for ScaleXTo and ScaleYTo.

Example:

void AnimateButton_Clicked(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
 _boxView.ScaleYTo(2, 250, Easing.CubicInOut);
 _boxView.ScaleXTo(1.5, 400, Easing.BounceOut);
}
