Introduction

With the ever-changing requirements and wide range of standards for mobile application development, it gets confusing for stakeholders and developers. To address the concern to some extent Google has introduced Material Design which dictates how the mobile controls should look and behave regardless of operating system, while catering for Web applications also. We have support for Native android, iOS, Flutter and

Xamarin.

Xamarin, being one of the promising cross platform development tools, has ensured it has Material UI support as part of its packages; however, there are limitations of using Material components in directly in Xamarin forms and hence custom renderers need to be created. In this tutorial we will see how to build a Material Textfield in Xamarin forms for both iOS and Android step by side.

We will be building the Outlined Textfield as shown in the Material design guide. Let’s start!!!
