Usage

Note: MacCatalyst is NOT supported by this library. Supported platforms are Android, iOS, and Windows (via .NET MAUI). Note: Android does NOT support icons, this is a platform limitation.

1. Installation

Add the PJ.ContextActions.Maui NuGet package to your .NET MAUI project.

2. Initialization

In your MauiProgram.cs, add .UseContextActions() to the builder:

using PJ.ContextActions.Maui;

public static MauiApp CreateMauiApp()
{
    var builder = MauiApp.CreateBuilder();
    builder
        .UseMauiApp<App>()
        .ConfigureFonts(fonts =>
        {
            fonts.AddFont("OpenSans-Regular.ttf", "OpenSansRegular");
            fonts.AddFont("OpenSans-Semibold.ttf", "OpenSansSemibold");
        })
        .UseContextActions();
    // ...
    return builder.Build();
}

3. Usage Example (CollectionView)

XAML

Add the pj namespace and use <pj:ContextActions.ContextActions> inside your CollectionView:

<ContentPage
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/dotnet/2021/maui"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
    xmlns:pj="clr-namespace:PJ.ContextActions.Maui;assembly=PJ.ContextActions.Maui">

    <CollectionView x:Name="cv">
        <pj:ContextActions.ContextActions>
            <pj:MenuItem Clicked="MenuItem_Clicked" Text="Primeiro" />
            <pj:MenuItem Command="{Binding ClickCommand}" Text="Segundo" />
        </pj:ContextActions.ContextActions>
        <CollectionView.ItemTemplate>
            <DataTemplate>
                <Label Text="{Binding .}" />
            </DataTemplate>
        </CollectionView.ItemTemplate>
    </CollectionView>
</ContentPage>
Code-behind (C#)

Set up the ItemsSource, Command, and event handler in your page's code-behind:

public partial class MainPage : ContentPage
{
    public Command<object> ClickCommand { get; }

    public MainPage()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
        var list = new List<string>();
        for (var i = 0; i < 100; i++)
            list.Add($"Item {i}");
        cv.ItemsSource = list;

        ClickCommand = new Command<object>((i) =>
        {
            System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine($"Segundo item clicado: {i}");
        });

        BindingContext = this;
    }

    void MenuItem_Clicked(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine($"Primeiro item clicado: {sender}");
    }
}

4. Using ContextActions in Any View

You can use ContextActions with any view by attaching the ContextActionBehavior to the view's Behaviors collection. For example, to add context actions to an Image:

Warning: The MenuItem's BindingContext will be the same as the control's BindingContext. However, the ContextActionBehavior itself does not have a BindingContext.

XAML
<ContentPage
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/dotnet/2021/maui"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
    xmlns:pj="clr-namespace:PJ.ContextActions.Maui;assembly=PJ.ContextActions.Maui">

    <Image Source="dotnet_bot.png">
        <Image.Behaviors>
            <pj:ContextActionBehavior>
                <pj:ContextActionBehavior.MenuItems>
                    <pj:MenuItem
                        Clicked="MenuItem_Clicked"
                        Icon="dotnet_bot.png"
                        Text="Primeiro" />
                    <pj:MenuItem Command="{Binding ClickCommand}" Text="Segundo" />
                </pj:ContextActionBehavior.MenuItems>
            </pj:ContextActionBehavior>
        </Image.Behaviors>
    </Image>
</ContentPage>
Code-behind (C#)
public partial class MainPage : ContentPage
{
    public Command<object> ClickCommand { get; }

    public MainPage()
    {
        InitializeComponent();

        ClickCommand = new Command<object>((i) =>
        {
            System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine($"Segundo item clicado: {i}");
        });

        BindingContext = this;
    }

    void MenuItem_Clicked(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine($"Primeiro item clicado: {sender}");
    }
}

5. Custom Implementations for Platform-Specific Behaviors

ContextActionBehavior allows you to provide your own custom implementation for platform-specific delegates and listeners.

iOS Custom Delegate

You can provide a custom UIContextMenuInteractionDelegate implementation by setting the InteractionDelegateFactory property:

var image = new Image();
var behavior = new ContextActionBehavior
{
    MenuItems = { /* your menu items */ },
#if IOS
    InteractionDelegateFactory = () => new MyCustomInteractionDelegate()
#endif
};
image.Behaviors.Add(behavior);

Your custom implementation might look like:

// You can also inherit from the Delegate used in this library and expand for that.
public class MyCustomInteractionDelegate : UIContextMenuInteractionDelegate
{
    // Custom implementation for handling context menu on iOS
    public override UIContextMenuConfiguration? GetConfigurationForMenu(UIContextMenuInteraction interaction, CGPoint location)
    {
        // Your custom logic here
        return UIContextMenuConfiguration.Create(null, null, menu => {
            // Create and return your custom UIMenu
        });
    }
}
Android Custom Listener

Similarly, for Android you can provide a custom IOnCreateContextMenuListener implementation:

var image = new Image();
var behavior = new ContextActionBehavior
{
    MenuItems = { /* your menu items */ },
#if ANDROID
    ContextMenuListenerFactory = () => new MyCustomContextMenuListener()
#endif
};
image.Behaviors.Add(behavior);

Your custom implementation might look like:

// You can also inherit from the Listener used in this library and expand for that.
public class MyCustomContextMenuListener : Java.Lang.Object, Android.Views.View.IOnCreateContextMenuListener
{
    public void OnCreateContextMenu(IContextMenu? menu, Android.Views.View? v, IContextMenuContextMenuInfo? menuInfo)
    {
        // Your custom logic for creating context menu items
        if (menu is null && v is null)
        {
            return;
        }

        // Add custom menu items
        // Handle clicks, etc.
    }
}
