How to customize the month inline appointments view in Xamarin.Forms scheduler?

SfSchedule allows you customize the inline appointment view. This article explains you how to customize the inline appointments view in schedule.

 

Step 1: Set the ShowAppointmentsInline property to true to display the month view appointments in inline view.

 

<schedule:SfSchedule x:Name="schedule" ScheduleView="MonthView" ShowAppointmentsInline="true"/>

 

Step 2: Create the event collection of schedule and bind it to DataSource of SfSchedule.

 

public class ViewModel : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
    private ScheduleAppointmentCollection scheduleAppointments;
    ObservableCollection<string> subjectCollection;
    ObservableCollection<Color> colorCollection;
    public ViewModel()
    {
        scheduleAppointments = new ScheduleAppointmentCollection();
        this.AddAppointmentDetails();
        this.AddAppointments();
    }
 
    public ScheduleAppointmentCollection ScheduleAppointments
    {
        get
        {
            return scheduleAppointments;
        }
        set
        {
            scheduleAppointments = value;
        }
    }
 
    private void AddAppointmentDetails()
    {
        subjectCollection = new ObservableCollection<string>();
        subjectCollection.Add("Conference");
        subjectCollection.Add("Checkup");
        subjectCollection.Add("Dale's Birthday");
        subjectCollection.Add("System Chekup");
 
        colorCollection = new ObservableCollection<Color>();
        colorCollection.Add(Color.FromHex("#FF339933"));
        colorCollection.Add(Color.FromHex("#FF00ABA9"));
        colorCollection.Add(Color.FromHex("#FFE671B8"));
        colorCollection.Add(Color.FromHex("#FF1BA1E2"));
        colorCollection.Add(Color.FromHex("#FFD80073"));
        colorCollection.Add(Color.FromHex("#FFA2C139"));
        colorCollection.Add(Color.FromHex("#FFA2C139"));
        colorCollection.Add(Color.FromHex("#FFD80073"));
        colorCollection.Add(Color.FromHex("#FF339933"));
        colorCollection.Add(Color.FromHex("#FFE671B8"));
        colorCollection.Add(Color.FromHex("#FF00ABA9"));
    }
 
    private void AddAppointments()
    {
        var today = DateTime.Now.Date;
        var random = new Random();
        for (int month = -1; month <= 1; month++)
        {
            for (int i = -3; i <= 3; i++)
            {
                for (int j = 0; j < 2; j++)
                {
                    var appointment = new ScheduleAppointment();
                    appointment.Subject = subjectCollection[random.Next(3)];
                    appointment.StartTime = today.AddMonths(month).AddDays(random.Next(1, 28)).AddHours(random.Next(9, 18));
                    appointment.EndTime = appointment.StartTime.AddHours(2);
                    appointment.Color = colorCollection[random.Next(11)];
                    appointment.IsAllDay = false;
                    this.ScheduleAppointments.Add(appointment);
                }
            }
        }
    }
 
    public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
 
    public void OnPropertyChanged(string name)
    {
        if (PropertyChanged != null)
        {
            PropertyChanged(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(name));
        }
    }
}

<ContentPage xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms"
             xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml" 
             x:Class="CustomInlineAppointmentView.ScheduleView"
             xmlns:local="clr-namespace:CustomInlineAppointmentView"
             xmlns:schedule="clr-namespace:Syncfusion.SfSchedule.XForms;assembly=Syncfusion.SfSchedule.XForms">
    <ContentPage.Content>
        <schedule:SfSchedule x:Name="schedule" ScheduleView="MonthView" ShowAppointmentsInline="true" DataSource="{Binding ScheduleAppointments}">
            <schedule:SfSchedule.Behaviors>
                <local:ScheduleBehavior/>
            </schedule:SfSchedule.Behaviors>
            <schedule:SfSchedule.BindingContext>
                <local:ViewModel/>
            </schedule:SfSchedule.BindingContext>
        </schedule:SfSchedule>
    </ContentPage.Content>
</ContentPage>

 

Step 3: Customize the month inline appointment view using the OnMonthInlineAppointmentLoaded event in SfSchedule using View of MonthInlineLoadedEventArgs argument.

 

void SfSchedule_OnMonthInlineAppointmentLoadedEvent(object sender, MonthInlineAppointmentLoadedEventArgs e)
{
    var button = new Button() { BackgroundColor = Color.Blue };
    if ((e.appointment as ScheduleAppointment).Subject == "Dale's Birthday")
    {
        button.Image = "cake_schedule";
    }
    else if ((e.appointment as ScheduleAppointment).Subject == "Conference")
    {
        button.Image = "conference_schedule";
    }
    else if ((e.appointment as ScheduleAppointment).Subject == "Checkup")
    {
        button.Image = "stethoscope_schedule";
    }
    if ((e.appointment as ScheduleAppointment).Subject == "System Chekup")
    {
        button.Image = "troubleshoot_schedule";
    }
    button.Text = (e.appointment as ScheduleAppointment).Subject;
    button.TextColor = Color.White;
    button.BackgroundColor = (e.appointment as ScheduleAppointment).Color;
    e.view = button;
}

 

Note:

In Xamarin.Forms UWP, there is no support for inline appointment view customization using custom view.
