Xamarin.Forms
In my previous post I have explained how to deal with selected and unselected state of the TabbedPage tabs. This post will be a continuation on the topic of TabbedPage customisation. I will show you how to remove the label from the tabs on Android.

It’s very simple to set selected and unselected colors for Android devices. You can take advantage of the available platform specifics. Whereas on iOS it's a bit more complex.

I ran into an issue where my Xamarin.Forms UWP app, which uses MvvmCross and SyncFusion SfCharts stopped showing charts once I created the app package for the Windows Store (i.e. created *.appxupload package with .NET native tool chain).
Android
I did a brief search on the Internet what could be causing such behaviour and majority of posts were pointing at some issues with cached data by Google Play Store and/or Google Play Services somehow breaking installation process. They were suggesting cleaning cache of these to solve the problem.
This topic is going to be sort of continuation of my previous post about BuildIt SQLite, where I show how to use it with code examples
The idea for SQLite Wrapper was purely dictated by the demand. We, at BuiltToRoam – company that I work at – are dealing with all types of universal application projects (Universal Apps for Windows 8.0-8.1 and Windows Phone 8.0-8.1 or UWP for Windows 10) that are required to use database(s)
This issue stroke me suddenly and without any reason (at least I couldn’t find one). One day code that rotates picture, which was captured from camera, started to throw exceptions. I was really surprised, because I didn’t change much in the project since the time it was working just fine..
Another blog post about my struggles with weird compilation errors of universal app solution.
Recently I was struggling with trying to set images (being a byte[] and/or being an Asset file and/or being an IsolatedStorage file) as an Image.Source.
Almost all of the Windows Phone apps have got a small offset on left and right side. I believe that, it’s got something to do with better user experience. As a layman in this matter, I can just guess that it makes human eye more comfortable to look at content which doesn’t touch edges
It annoys me the same way it annoys you, but I don’t think there’s any way to get rid of it, permanently. There is a quick cure though, because it happens only when you open a project in Visual Studio that has its configuration set to x64 or ARM
The other day I got prompted or just checked that update for my Windows Phone 8.1 is available. I wasn’t thinking much and just clicked Update. Everything when smoothly, no problems with installation whatsoever.
