API Usage

Plugin.Maui.NativeCalendar provides the NativeCalendar class that displays a native calendar view in your .NET MAUI app.

The calendar view on iOS is implemented using UICalendarView. NOTE: iOS requires a declared height for the NativeCalendarView to appear.

The calendar view on Android is implemented using MaterialCalendar, a class used in the MaterialDatePicker from the Android Material library

Permissions

iOS

No permissions are needed for iOS.

Android

No permissions are needed for Android.

Dependency Injection

In order to enable the plugin, you need to call the UseNativeCalendar method in the MauiProgram.cs file of your .NET MAUI app.

  var builder = MauiApp.CreateBuilder();
        builder
            .UseMauiApp<App>()
            .UseNativeCalendar()   // <--- Add this line
            .ConfigureFonts(fonts =>
            {
                fonts.AddFont("OpenSans-Regular.ttf", "OpenSansRegular");
                fonts.AddFont("OpenSans-Semibold.ttf", "OpenSansSemibold");
            });

Native Calendar Implementation

You'll need to add a xmlns namespace to your XAML page:

<ContentPage xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/dotnet/2021/maui"
             xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
             x:Class="Plugin.Maui.NativeCalendar.Sample.MainPage"
             xmlns:nativecalendar="clr-namespace:Plugin.Maui.NativeCalendar;assembly=Plugin.Maui.NativeCalendar"
             Title="Native Calendar Plugin">

And then consume your calendar in the XAML page:

 <nativecalendar:NativeCalendarView MaximumDate="{Binding MaximumDate}"
                                           MinimumDate="{Binding MinimumDate}"
                                           SelectedDate="{Binding SelectedDate}"
                                           Events="{Binding Events}"
                                           EventIndicatorColor="{Binding EventIndicatorColor}"
                                           HeightRequest="500"
                                           DateChanged="NativeCalendarView_DateChanged" />
