IconView for Xamarin Forms

A control for Xamarin Forms to draw a local image with a color.

See [Xamarin Form documentation for Local Images](http://developer.xamarin.com/guides/cross-platform/xamarin-forms/working-

with/images/#Local_Images)

At this moment the implementation is for Android and iOS. Contributions for Windows support are welcome!

Usage

An example of a Page using the IconView control

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ContentPage xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms"
             xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
             x:Class="IconApp.MyPage"
             xmlns:controls="clr-namespace:IconApp;assembly=IconApp">
  <controls:IconView Source="monkey"
                     Foreground="Red"
                     WidthRequest="100"
                     HeightRequest="100"
                     HorizontalOptions="Center"
                     VerticalOptions="Center" />
</ContentPage>

It draws the "monkey" image with red color in the center of the screen:

Adding to your project

  1. Add /IconApp/IconApp/IconView.cs to your Xamarin Forms PCL project.

  2. The control uses native renderes. You need to add the renderers to your Android and iOS project respectively:

    [/IconApp/IconApp.Droid/Renderers/IconViewRenderer.cs](/IconApp/IconApp.Droid/Renderers/IconViewRenderer.cs)

[/IconApp/IconApp.iOS/Renderer/IconViewRenderer.cs](/IconApp/IconApp.iOS/Renderer/IconViewRenderer.cs)

Note you might need to update some namespaces.
