How to integrate .NET MAUI Scheduler with Android Native Embedding Application?

2 mins read

In this article, you can learn the process of integrating the .NET MAUI Scheduler into an Android native embedding application. Follow this step-by-step guide to seamlessly incorporate the Scheduler in your project.
Step 1:
Create a .NET Android application and install the Syncfusion.Maui.Scheduler NuGet package from the nuget.org.

Step 2:
In the project file of the native application, add the tag <UseMaui>true</UseMaui> to enable .NET MAUI support.

<PropertyGroup>
   <Nullable>enable</Nullable>
   <ImplicitUsings>enable</ImplicitUsings>
   <UseMaui>true</UseMaui>
</PropertyGroup>

Step 3:
Creating a MauiAppBuilder object and using the UseMauiEmbedding function is the standard procedure for initializing .NET MAUI in a native app project.

To build a MauiApp object, use the Build() method on the MauiAppBuilder object. From the MauiApp object, you need to create a MauiContext object. Converting .NET MAUI controls to native types will require the use of the MauiContext object.

MauiContext? _mauiContext;
protected override void OnCreate(Bundle? savedInstanceState)
{
   base.OnCreate(savedInstanceState);
   MauiAppBuilder builder = MauiApp.CreateBuilder();
   builder.UseMauiEmbedding<Microsoft.Maui.Controls.Application>();
   builder.ConfigureSyncfusionCore();
   MauiApp mauiApp = builder.Build();
   _mauiContext = new MauiContext(mauiApp.Services, this);
}

Step 4:
Create an instance of the SfScheduler control, configure it, and set the appointment collection to the AppointmentsSource property.

SfScheduler scheduler = new SfScheduler();
scheduler.View = SchedulerView.Week;
var appointment = new ObservableCollection<SchedulerAppointment>();

//Adding scheduler appointment in the schedule appointment collection. 
appointment.Add(new SchedulerAppointment()
{
   StartTime = DateTime.Today.AddHours(13),
   EndTime = DateTime.Today.AddHours(15),
   Subject = "Client Meeting",
});

//Adding the scheduler appointment collection to the AppointmentsSource of .NET MAUI Scheduler.
scheduler.AppointmentsSource = appointment;

Step 5:
Convert the Scheduler control to a platform-specific view for the MAUI framework and set it as the content view for the current Android activity.

protected override void OnCreate(Bundle? savedInstanceState)
{
     ...
   Android.Views.View view = scheduler.ToPlatform(_mauiContext);

   // Set our view from the "main" layout resource
   SetContentView(view);
}
