May the Swipe be with You! Excellent video James thank u!

Nice video, James. I didn't know about the Android- and iOS-specific properties before. One thing that nobody ever talks about is how to add Tap to the CollectionView if you're using a SwipeView. What happens is when you try to tap on an item, if you wiggle your finger even so much as a pixel, the swipe view starts swiping. It's not so much an issue in the emulator because it's easy to "tap" the mouse without wiggling it a single pixel. But on a physical device, it's darned near impossible to accomplish a tap. As you know, many mobile apps use both tap and swipe at the same time in collection views, yet MAUI doesn't seem to support it well, from what I can tell.

Excellent explanations as always. Thanks James! If you are looking for ideas for new content, I'd love something on drag-and-drop list reordering.

Can you do a demo of publishing with updates via url?

Windows specific, or a msix direction to use as a template.
Thanks!

One cool way I found as well is that of your page has an x:Name, you can use x: Reference instead of RelativeSource and ancestortype and the whole thing will be slightly shorter 😄
For example assuming this page had an x:Name = "Page", then it would be like
<SwipeItem Command="{Binding Source={x:Reference Page},
CommandParameter="{Binding .}" />

Beautiful tutorial! I didn't know I could have custom views in there 😁

[LesCandle]

Very useful! Could you do a video specifically on Maui Binding tips & tricks??

[larscwallin]

I'd love an updated tutorial on native bindings to Swift and Android views.
Most recent I found was two years old, and for Xamarin.

[NickFletcher-gbne]

Thanks a lot James, you've taught me a lot!

[DeepWorksStudios]

Thank you for this valuable content! Keep it up!

[ShahPrem]

Could you please make a video on Jar Binding

[ApurvKumar-um]

well this was funny, because I was trying this to days to find how to swipe items so thanks.

[istalexnik]

Can you show how to accomplish it in plain c# with markup qnd no xaml?

[LesCandle]

I'd also Love to see a video on Maui IOS logging using Serilog. I'm not sure useful logging is even .. Possible with IOS as Serilog NSLog output doesn't seem to appear even in TestFlight ?

I'm considering creating a custom Serilog sink using gRPC to store exceptions (that don't involve connectivity) on my AWS server as I hate being .. Blind .. and missing user problems?

[tsan]

tell us about drag and drop moving please

[rameezimtiaz]

Very useful video James..! I I'd love if you make a video on "Connection with Google Drive, upload/ download files to G Drive in .NET MAUI", as I search a lot and can't find any helpful resource. Would be super thankful to you. 🙂

[seydayetisen]

Thank you for this video. Is it possible to show the user that SwipeView is used on the page? maybe with a sign on the right and left.

[anandshindey]

Good Refresher for me, nicely paced presentation. Appreciate it. One question, at 07:58 you said you would leave a link to documentation. Was that for the SwipeView or for the AndroidSpecific stuff?

[puppyinwang]

thanks . can u talk about how to draw something with graphics or skiasharp.

[faridulhuk]

Hi James, thanks for the excellet video, How to use this in Windows. i unable to use this using the mouse?

[ademineshat]

I love these kind of videos you do.
I'd like to know how to reorder the items in the collectionview with drag and drop 😊
