Introduction

In this tutorial, we will learn how to handle the Placeholder issue in Xamarin.Forms for Picker Control. Xamarin.Forms Picker Control is a combination of EditText plus AlertDialog for Android and UITextField plus UIPicker for iOS. The Title property of Xamarin.Forms Picker Control is a property to set title for AlertDialog plus Hint for EditText for Android and Placeholder for UITextField.

For Example, we are setting the title property of the picker control is “Title” and it has items source and selected index of the control as “-1” then the control will shows “Title” in Placeholder and title of the alert or popup. Sometimes, it is meaning less to use this control due to this.

In this article, we will learn how to download any files from online server and save the same to the local directory of the Android and iOS Phones using DependencyService. Xamarin.Forms allows developers to define behaviour in platform-specific projects. DependencyService then finds the right platform implementation, allowing shared code to access the native functionality. To know more about DependencyService Click Here.
