I just re-tested. The problem with "Floating Action Button inside ViewPage" seems to be fixed. The app no longer crashes on my API 19 and API 21 devices.

Glad to hear the good news.

... My device is a Samsung Galaxy phone (GT-S7580 Android 4.2.2).

... Should it work on API 17?

Both samples, MaterialSamples (ui-material repository) and ViewSliderSamples (ui-view-slider repository), work without issues on my Samsung Galaxy Nexus (API 17) running Android 4.2.1.

I'll continue my investigation specific for Samsung GT-S7580 and get back to you as soon as possible. Thank you for the patience and cooperation.

Good day Thomas,

sorry for being impatient, but is CROS-1029 and CROS-1030 already scheduled?

Feel free to ping us at anytime regarding the progress of worklog.

CROS-1030 has been implemented. The hotfix (Crosslight 5.0.5000.559) is now available in NuGet.

You can now specify group header color by adding following snippet code in colors.xml.

<resources>
  ...
  <color name="group_header_color">#ff0000</color>
</resources>

I'll keep you informed as soon as I heard anything from the team regarding CROS-1029.

Thank you and have a nice day.

Hotfix has been deployed to NuGet which resolves issues of Android Material found on API 15. Please apply the update of Crosslight assembly (5.0.5000.559) and let us know if you have different result.

- Testing on my API 17 device, the app still crashes after the start without any error message. I have already send you a crash log.

I tested the MaterialSample on my Samsung Galaxy Nexus (API 17). The app doesn't crash after the start. Please check the screenshot below.

Look forward to hearing back from you.

this build has SOLVED our problem. Thank you. Been tested and all is well.

Glad to hear that the build has resolved the reported problem.

Will this fix (or has it already been) applied to the new 2016 product? Don't want to download and install the new release only to find it doesn't include it.

It will be released as hotfix (available on Update Manager), as well as installer later. We're committed to update installers on monthly basis, in addition to Update Manager.

I recommend you to port your existing WinRT app (which has been developed using Crosslight) to Android/iOS platform and use Crosslight Form Builder instead of Xamarin.Forms.

Crosslight Form Builder is a built-in cross-platform form builder framework that helps developers to create native forms easily with UI aesthetics that conforms to each platform’s user interface guidelines. The metadata definiton itself is shared amongst other platforms as well, resulting in a clean, functional form in minutes.

This article will guides you to create a simple taxi order form by utilizing Crosslight Form Builder.

For more advanced scenario, we can extend the capabilities of the Crosslight Form Builder beyond its original capabilities. In this post we’re going to learn how to add an option to choose the driver in CrosslightFormBuilder sample, as well as showing a custom view with the driver’s photo in the form, with the driver’s phone number, which when tapped, will initiate a call to the driver.

Hope this helps.
