HTML Label for Xamarin.Forms

HTML Label for Xamarin.Forms apps

Easily render HTML in your Xamarin.Forms apps.

Note: This control is intended for basic text formatting (e.g., bold, italic, hyperlinks, etc.). It is not intended for rendering complex HTML or webpages - use the WebView for that.

Dependency

• Xamarin.Forms >= 3.0.0.446417

Supported platforms

HtmlLabel is supported on the following Xamarin.Forms platforms:

• iOS
• Android

Usage

You use HtmlLabel just like any other control on a Xamarin.Forms ContentPage.

The value of the Text property will be rendered as HTML using the platform's native text formatting approach.

XAML example

<ContentPage 
    ...  
    xmlns:controls="clr-namespace:XamForms.HtmlLabel;assembly=XamForms.HtmlLabel">

    <StackLayout VerticalOptions="CenterAndExpand" HorizontalOptions="Center" WidthRequest="250">
        
        <Entry Text="" Placeholder="Username" />
        <Entry Text="" Placeholder="Password" />
        <Button Text="Sign in" BackgroundColor="Purple" TextColor="White" />
        
        <controls:HtmlLabel Text="Upon sign in you agree to our &lt;a href='http://www.infernored.com'&gt;Terms of Service&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href='http://www.infernored.com'&gt;Privacy Policy&lt;/a&gt;." />

        <!-- Or, with data binding -->
        <controls:HtmlLabel Text="{Binding SignInAgreementText}" />

    </StackLayout>

</ContentPage>

When using this control in XAML it is recommended you use XAMLC.

C# example

var signInLinks = new HtmlLabel
{
    Text = @"Upon sign in you agree to our <a href=""http://www.infernored.com"">Terms of Service</a> and <a href=""http://www.infernored.com"">Privacy Policy</a>."
};
