Supercharge your .NET MAUI projects with Lottie animations! Imagine it as the
magic wand for your app's visuals. Thanks to Adobe After Effects, Lottie
speaks a special language called JSON, making animations a breeze. Meet
SkiaSharp, a Microsoft buddy that helps Lottie shine in .NET MAUI, making your
app look cool without the complexity. Learn the ropes in our beginner-friendly
guide! Add a dash of Lottie, sprinkle in some JSON magic, and watch your app
come to life!
Top advantages of Lottie Animations:
Vector-based Adaptability: Lottie animations, being
vector-based, ensure seamless scalability without compromising resolution.
Reduced File Size: Compared to formats like GIF or MP4,
Lottie files boast significantly smaller sizes while maintaining top-notch
quality.
Launch Visual Studio 2022, and in the start window click Create a new
project to create a new project.
In the Create a new project window, select MAUI in the All project types
drop-down, select the .NET MAUI App template, and click the Next button:
In the configure your new project window, name your project, choose a
suitable location for it, and click the Next button:
In the Additional information window, click the Create button:
Once the project is created, we can able to see the Android, iOS, Windows
and other running options in the toolbar. Press the emulator or run button
to build and run the app
Install Plugin:
Library Requirement: SkiaSharp library is essential for
displaying Lottie animations.
Installation via NuGet: Obtain the SkiaSharp library by
searching for "SkiaSharp.Extended.UI.Maui" in the NuGet Package
Manager.
Enable Prerelease: Ensure the "Include
prerelease" flag is enabled during installation, as MAUI support is
currently in prerelease.
User Interface Guidance: Open the NuGet Package Manager
interface to facilitate the installation process.
Visual Confirmation: The library, once searched, should
appear as "SkiaSharp.Extended.UI.Maui" in the NuGet interface.
Implementation
First, we need to open "MauiProgram.cs" and include the following namespace and line to allow the app to use the Lottie Animations.
using SkiaSharp.Views.Maui.Controls.Hosting;
.UseSkiaSharp()
Open MainPage.xaml file and add the following namespace. (the page will be replaced according to you)
Unlocking the magic of Lottie animations in your .NET MAUI app is a breeze! If you have JSON files, just add them to the Resources\Raw subfolder. For web-hosted animations, effortlessly consume them by passing the URI to the Lottie view. Explore the treasure trove of free and paid animations on Lottiefiles.com, a popular source for dynamic visuals. In our example, we'll use a JSON animation from the Lottie library repository, already included in the code for your convenience. Feel free to switch it up with your preferred animation!
We need to add the animation to the Raw folder: Go to Resources ➡ Raw ➡ Right click add ➡ Existing files ➡ animation.json (walking_batman.json in my sample).
<skia:SKLottieView>: This is the declaration of the SKLottieView, a specialized view for rendering Lottie animations using the SkiaSharp library.
RepeatCount="-1": The RepeatCount attribute determines how many times the animation should repeat. A value of -1 means it will repeat indefinitely.
RepeatMode="Reverse": The RepeatMode attribute sets the behavior of the animation when it repeats. In this case, "Reverse" means the animation will play in reverse each time it repeats.
Source="walking_batman.json": Specifies the source of the Lottie animation. In this example, the animation is loaded from a file named "Girl.json" located in the project.
HeightRequest="400" and WidthRequest="400": These attributes set the desired height and width of the SKLottieView, in this case, both set to 400. This property is very important to visualize Lottie animation.
This code essentially integrates a Lottie animation (from the "walking_batman.json" file) into your Xamarin.Forms application, configuring its repeat behavior and dimensions. Adjust these attributes based on your specific animation and layout requirements.

Welcome to our newest blog post, where we explore the vibrant realm of MVVM
(Model-View-ViewModel) architecture using the cutting-edge MVVM Toolkit in
.NET MAUI. In this comprehensive guide, we will unravel the intricacies of
MVVM and demonstrate how the MVVM Toolkit in .NET MAUI empowers developers to
create robust, responsive, and easily maintainable cross-platform mobile
applications. Join us on this enlightening journey as we unravel the secrets
of mastering MVVM in the context of .NET MAUI.
Launch Visual Studio 2022, and in the start window click Create a new
project to create a new project.
In the Create a new project window, select MAUI in the All project types
drop-down, select the .NET MAUI App template, and click the Next button:
In the configure your new project window, name your project, choose a
suitable location for it, and click the Next button:
In the Additional information window, click the Create button:
Once the project is created, we can able to see the Android, iOS, Windows
and other running options in the toolbar. Press the emulator or run button
to build and run the app
Install Plugin:
In this steps, we will see the steps to install "MVVM Toolkit" in .NET MAUI
project:
Access NuGet Package Manager: In Visual Studio, right-click on your
.NET MAUI project in the Solution Explorer. From the context menu, select
"Manage NuGet Packages."
Search for "CommunityToolkit.Mvvm": In the NuGet Package Manager,
click on the "Browse" tab. In the search bar, type "CommunityToolkit.Mvvm"
and hit Enter. The package should appear in the search results.
Select and Install the Package: Once you find "CommunityToolkit.Mvvm"
in the search results, click on it to select it. Ensure you choose the
appropriate version compatible with your .NET MAUI project. Click on the
"Install" button to begin the installation process.
Accept License Agreement: During the installation, you may be
prompted to accept the license agreement. Review the terms and conditions
and click on the "Accept" button to proceed.
Wait for Installation to Complete: Visual Studio will download and
install the package along with its dependencies. This process may take a few
moments, depending on your internet connection speed.
Verify Installation: After the installation is complete, verify that
there are no error messages in the Output window. This indicates a
successful installation of the package.
Implementation
View Model
In this step, we create a ViewModel that inherits from the ObservableObject
class. This inheritance is pivotal because ObservableObject implements the
INotifyPropertyChanged interface. By doing so, we gain the ability to
trigger the PropertyChanged event, a vital mechanism enabling the
notification of property value changes to subscribers, primarily the UI.
This synchronization is fundamental for effective data binding, ensuring
seamless coordination between the user interface and the underlying
ViewModel.
For example:
public partial class ItemEntryPageModel : ObservableObject
{
[ObservableProperty]
private int _id;
[ObservableProperty]
private string _name;
[ObservableProperty]
private string _description;
[ICommand]
public async void Save()
{
await Application.Current.MainPage.DisplayAlert("MAUI MVVM Sample", "Item Saved Successfully", "OK");
}
}
When we use the [ObservableProperty] attribute, properties can send
automatic alerts when they change. This is important for connecting data and
updating the user interface (UI) when properties change. When you apply the
[ObservableProperty] attribute to a property, it does a lot of necessary
coding work behind the scenes. It sets up the code needed to tell other
parts of the program when a property changes. This attribute saves time
because you don't have to write all this code manually. For Example:
"_description" & "_name" produces "Description" & "Name"
respectively.
The [ICommand] implementation is a way to connect methods or actions
in the app with what the user sees on the screen. For instance, it can
create a command called SaveCommand that's linked to the Save method. This
linking is crucial for making sure that when a user does something, like
clicking a button, the right action happens in the app.
View
Finally, we will design the View, where we create the user interface using
XAML. Here, we connect the UI elements to the ViewModel properties using
data binding expressions.
This connection enables the View to show and modify task data in real-time,
ensuring a dynamic and responsive user experience.

.NET MAUI, a cross-platform framework, empowers developers to build native
mobile and desktop applications using C# and XAML. It enables the creation of
apps that seamlessly operate on Android, iOS, macOS, and Windows, all from a
unified codebase. This open-source platform is an advancement of Xamarin
Forms, expanding its reach to desktop scenarios while enhancing UI controls
for improved performance and extensibility.
In this article, we will see how to use SwipeView in .NET MAUI project.
SwipeView is a container control that wraps around an item of content,
and provides context menu items that are revealed by a swipe gesture.
Launch Visual Studio 2022, and in the start window click Create a new
project to create a new project.
In the Create a new project window, select MAUI in the All project types
drop-down, select the .NET MAUI App template, and click the Next button:
In the configure your new project window, name your project, choose a
suitable location for it, and click the Next button:
In the Additional information window, click the Create button:
Once the project is created, we can able to see the Android, iOS, Windows
and other running options in the toolbar. Press the emulator or run button
to build and run the app
Implementation
SwipeView defines the following attributes:
LeftItems: This property, of type SwipeItems, represents the swipe
items accessible when swiping the control from the left side.
RightItems: This property, of type SwipeItems, represents the swipe
items accessible when swiping the control from the right side.
TopItems: This property, of type SwipeItems, represents the swipe
items accessible when swiping the control from top to bottom.
BottomItems: This property, of type SwipeItems, represents the swipe
items accessible when swiping the control from bottom to top.
Threshold: This property, of type double, determines the number of
device-independent units required to trigger a swipe gesture and fully
reveal swipe items.
The SwipeView class additionally introduces three events:
SwipeStarted: This event is triggered when a swipe commences. It is
accompanied by a SwipeStartedEventArgs object that includes a property named
SwipeDirection of type SwipeDirection.
SwipeChanging: Raised during the progression of a swipe, the SwipeChanging
event provides a SwipeChangingEventArgs object. This object encompasses a
SwipeDirection property of type SwipeDirection and an Offset property of
type double.
SwipeEnded: When a swipe concludes, the SwipeEnded event is raised. Its
accompanying SwipeEndedEventArgs object contains a SwipeDirection property
of type SwipeDirection and an IsOpen property of type bool.
Here's an example demonstrating how to create a SwipeView in XAML.
