Supporting Icons & Badge [reference (Badged)PlatformTabbedPage]

[npagare]

Hi @stormlion227 , thank you for this great work.

Is there any possibility of supporting Icons and badges like the one provided by
https://www.nuget.org/packages/PlatformTabbedPage/2.2.0-beta and
https://www.nuget.org/packages/BadgedPlatformTabbedPage/0.4.0-badges

That will really make this Custom TabbedPage very very powerful .
Hope you will consider my feature request.

Thanks,

Hi @stormlion227,

I tried upgrading STabbedPage to the latest stable of Xamarin Forms 3.1.0.***** but couldn't get that compiled. It seems you have put some restrictions on Nuget packages related Android API 26.

I am not much familiar with coding of Xamarin Native to contribute effectively for this project. But, I am very much interested helping you to take this TabbedPage renderer to the next level. I can certainly contribute in writing test cases and testing. Let me know if you are interested.

In the mean time, please take a look at features provided by above two packages. I will really appreciate if can help me and the community to take it to the next highest level.

Thanks,

Hello

You can put icon and badge in TabBarCellTemplate freely.

		<!-- Cell Template -->
		<stab:STabbedPage.TabBarCellTemplate>
			<DataTemplate>
				<Grid BackgroundColor="White">
                                    <Image ... /> <!-- Icon -->
				</Grid>
			</DataTemplate>
		</stab:STabbedPage.TabBarCellTemplate>
		
		<!-- Selected Cell Template -->
		<stab:STabbedPage.TabBarSelectedCellTemplate>
			<DataTemplate>
				<Grid BackgroundColor="Orange">
                                       <Image .../> <!-- Selected Icon -->
				</Grid>
			</DataTemplate>
		</stab:STabbedPage.TabBarSelectedCellTemplate>

Hi @stormlion227 , thank you for your quick response.

Please see another issue #5 that I opened earlier too. I assumed the cell structure for icon and badge to be given in the same grid that is hosting the design for the TabItem. Is that not correct?

| Icon | Badge |
|------------------------------- |
| Tab Item Label /Text |

Also, upgrading of the Xamarin Form to 3.1.0.***** gives the following compilation error -
