Button-Worked WebView In Xamarin.Forms Application

Introduction

This article demonstrates Button-worked WebView In Xamarin.Forms applications. Xamarin is a platform that allows us to create a multi-platform mobile application for platforms, like Windows, iOS, and Android through a single integrated development environment (IDE).

Let's start.

Step 1

Open Visual Studio and go to New Project >> Installed >> Visual C# >> Cross-Platform.

Select Cross-Platform app, then give your project a name and location.

Step 2

Open Solution Explorer >> Project Name (Portable) >> MainPage.xaml. Double click on the left pane and open the design view of this page.

The code is given below.

XAML Code

We are creating a button inside the StackLayout and WebView as well as Scroll View inside the StackLayout.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<ContentPage xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
xmlns:local="clr-namespace:WebView"
x:Class="WebView.MainPage">
<ContentPage.Content>
<StackLayout>
<Button Text="Click" Clicked="Button_Clicked"/>
<StackLayout>
<ScrollView>
<WebView x:Name="Browser" VerticalOptions="FillAndExpand" HeightRequest="500"/>
</ScrollView>
</StackLayout>
</StackLayout>
</ContentPage.Content>
</ContentPage>

Step 3

Open Solution Explorer >> Project Name (Portable) >> MainPage.xaml.cs. Double click to open the design view of this page.

The code is given below.

Button-worked WebView is created using this code. Give your own link in the code.

C# Code

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using Xamarin.Forms;
namespace WebView
{
public partial class MainPage : ContentPage
{
public MainPage()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void Button_Clicked(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
var Url = "https://www.c-sharpcorner.com/members/ajith-kumar51";
Browser.Source = Url;
}
}
}

Step 4

Next, select the "Build & deploy" option, followed by selecting from the list of Android Emulator or Simulator. You can choose any API (Application Program Interface) level emulator or simulator to run it.

Output

After a few seconds, you will see your app working.

Click the "Click" button. The WebView is displayed.

Finally, we have successfully created a Xamarin.Forms Button-worked WebView.
