How generate the Renderer from a Maui element


I have a application where I need to extract the renderer from a Xamarin forms element, this is working fine Xamarin forms, I'm not sure how we can achieve this in MAUI, any inputs would be deeply appreciated. I'm doing this in renderer

 public AView ConvertFormsToNative(Xamarin.Forms.View view, Rectangle size)
        {
            var vRenderer = Platform.CreateRendererWithContext(view, this.Context);
            var viewGroup = vRenderer.View;
            vRenderer.Tracker.UpdateLayout();
            var layoutParams = new ViewGroup.LayoutParams((int)size.Width, (int)size.Height);
            viewGroup.LayoutParameters = layoutParams;
            view.Layout(size);
            viewGroup.Layout(0, 0, (int)view.WidthRequest, (int)view.HeightRequest);
            return viewGroup;
        }

This specific line is helping me get the renderer from the forms element

var vRenderer = Platform.CreateRendererWithContext(view, this.Context);

Any inputs would be really helpfull


Solution

  • You can get the Renderer via below code:

    var renderer=Platform.Android.AppCompat.Platform.CreateRendererWithContext(element, _context);

    For more details, you can refer to maui code docs;
