Last week I wanted to use the browser local storage to store a list of element. I wanted to update the resource split project to have the data stored (temporarily) so that it will be easier to add or remove resources. The browser local storage is ideal for this kind of scenario. Turns out WebSharper.UI.Next has the feature built in to persist ListModel so today I will explain how to do it.

Few months ago, I explained how ListModel worked. Today I would like to share a recurring issue that I used to have - lost of focus on input every time the ListModel values change. There’s an easy solution to that which I will demonstrate by first showing the initial code and explaining what is going on, why the focus is lost, then I will explain how we can work around it.

Few weeks ago I explained how we can create a splash screen for Android. Xamarin.Forms takes few seconds to load at each start so it is important to provide a feedback to the user when they click on our icon. The splash screen answers that by providing a way to show a loading screen. Today we will see how we can setup a simple splashscreen with an image centered and with a text label.

Icons are important in mobile applications where space is limited.
We use icon everywhere to convey action intent like + would be to add an item or a bin would be to delete one.
There are two ways to add icons to our mobile app, with images with with fonts.

Logs are an important part of development. Extracting and analysing debug output and errors is very important especially when the web server goes live.
In this post I will show how we can setup a Console target, a File target and a Live stream on a static HTML page using NLog. NLog is a log framework which can be configured to output logs on different “target”.

Few months ago I made a first introduction to GIMP - https://kimsereyblog.blogspot.co.uk/2016/09/gimps-primary-features.html - the post was oriented toward the toolbox and what features were available. Today I would like to share an explanation on what the alpha channel is and show you how you can outline text using the alpha channel.

Today I want to share a neat trick which I have been using a lot - transform an asynchronous operation (triggered with StartActivityFromResult) from an Android Activity to an awaitable task - which then can be used with async await keywords in a Xamarin.Forms PCL project.

When using Xamarin.Forms and Xamarin.Android, chances are that you had at one point of time to access a local file. Whether it is an image or a text file or even a local sqlite database, accessing a file from a Xamarin.Android project can be confusing. Today I will show you how you can get the absolute path of the different folders available in Xamarin.Android and we will see how we can get the paths from Xamarin.Forms.

The Sbackbar API is a sleek way to provide notifications in Android. You might have noticed the usage of it in applications that you use daily like Chrome, get the notification that the tab was closed. This is the snackbar.
