Build the package

dotnet build MauiFloatingTabBar.Android/MauiFloatingTabBar.Android.csproj -c Release

The .nupkg is written to:

LocalPackages

Consume in another app

  1. Add reusable/LocalPackages as a local NuGet source (or install from nuget.org).
  2. Add the package only for Android.
  3. Apply the snippets/MainActivity.cs.snippet change.
  4. Apply the snippets/MauiProgram.cs.snippet change.

Example csproj:

<ItemGroup Condition="'$(TargetFramework)' == 'net10.0-android'">
  <PackageReference Include="MohamedAbdelwahab.FloatingTabBar.Android" Version="1.0.0" />
</ItemGroup>

Required result

  • The app keeps @style/Maui.SplashTheme on MainActivity
  • MainActivity.OnCreate() calls SetTheme(Resource.Style.FloatingShellTabsMaterialTheme); before base.OnCreate(...)
  • MauiProgram calls builder.UseFloatingShellTabBar() on Android

Optional customization

Inside FloatingShellTabBar.cs:

  • BackgroundColorHex
  • SelectedItemBackgroundColorHex
  • SelectedColorHex
  • UnselectedColorHex
  • spacing, radius, and icon size options

Example:

#if ANDROID
builder.UseFloatingShellTabBar(options =>
{
    options.BackgroundColorHex = "#FFFFFF";
    options.SelectedItemBackgroundColorHex = "#F3F4F6";
    options.SelectedColorHex = "#111827";
    options.UnselectedColorHex = "#9CA3AF";
});
#endif
