Ideas for a sample

If possible, create a photo annotation tool

• Take a picture

• Add text that can be dragged and edited

• Add simple shapes

• [<] I'll send a pull request with a proposal for a sample

Hey, is there a project or a plan to improve Mobile Development experience ?

There is no clear documentation on how to make basics things that are in fact very easy to do after some research, like overriding Back Button click in MainActivity.cs for Android, which Xamarin library to use like Xamarin.Essentials, etc ..

It would be nice to have some reference or a kind of "guide" about Mobile dev which is a little underrated in Avalonia I think.

You can create documentation request issues on the https://github.com/AvaloniaUI/Documentation

BackButton is possible in avalonia, but yes, there is no documentation for that yet

Max Katz, [23.03.2023 12:24]
But please be specific with requests

Oh okay, so some doc for mobile are planned for v11 release ?

Lots of things are easily possible with Xamarin libraries, so maybe it would be great to just redirect to the interesting ones for peoples who discover Mobile Dev

Some of these libraries that were ported to maui can be used with avalonia too. Another good candidate for documentation or samples.
