Message Inbox for Xamarin

How to implement Message Inbox for your Xamarin project

Xamarin.iOS

1. Add Pushwoosh.Inbox.Xamarin.iOS Nuget package to your project. 2. In your project, open AppDelegate.cs and connect Pushwoosh.Inbox by adding the using Pushwoosh.Inbox line. 3. To show the Inbox UI in your app, add the Inbox view controller:

NavigationController.PushViewController(PWIInboxUI.CreateInboxControllerWithStyle(PWIInboxStyle.DefaultStyle()), true);

4. To make the Inbox look like an organic part of your app, change the parameters of PWIInboxStyle. You can customize such parameters as font, background color, etc.

PWIInboxStyle inboxStyle = PWIInboxStyle.CustomStyleWithDefaultImageIcon(
    UIImage.FromBundle("Default"),
    UIColor.DarkTextColor,
    UIColor.Blue,
    UIFont.SystemFontOfSize(17));
inboxStyle.BackgroundColor = UIColor.White;
inboxStyle.SelectionColor = UIColor.Orange;
inboxStyle.ListErrorMessage = "Custom error message";
inboxStyle.ListEmptyMessage = "Custom empty message";
PWIInboxStyle.SetupDefaultStyle(inboxStyle);
