Summary
Note
.NET MAUI is the next evolution of Xamarin and what we recommend you develop mobile and desktop apps with, and you can learn more about .NET MAUI in several training modules. This Xamarin training module will not be maintained going forward.
Xamarin.Forms dual-screen support provides a foundation upon which to build responsive app layouts that work well on all devices, with enhanced useability on devices like the Microsoft Surface Duo.
In this module, we modified an application by adding TwoPaneView and DualScreenInfo to preserve the single-screen user experience while adding dual-screen support, and responding appropriately when the app is spanned to two screens (or moved back to one).
We can build on the classes introduced in this module to make our application even more responsive to different devices:
- Further customize the view when a Surface Duo is in dual-landscape ("tall") mode.
- Detect the hinge angle and adapt the user-interface in some way.
- Use XAML triggers to create responsive dual-screen apps.
