I have two Resource Dictionaries one for Mobile and one for Tablet and I would like to merge the correct one within App.xaml using OnIdiom. With OnPlatform it is straight forward, but I am not seeing a way to do the same with OnIdiom to check if it is Tablet and then load the Tablet file or Phone file etc.
<Application.Resources>
<ResourceDictionary>
<ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
<ResourceDictionary Source="Resources/Styles/Colors.xaml" />
<ResourceDictionary Source="Resources/Styles/Margins.xaml" />
<!-- The two files below I would like to use OnIdiom to select between Tablet or Mobile -->
<ResourceDictionary Source="Resources/Styles/FixedSizesMobile.xaml"/>
<ResourceDictionary Source="Resources/Styles/FixedSizesTablet.xaml"/>
<ResourceDictionary Source="Resources/Styles/Styles.xaml" />
</ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
</ResourceDictionary>
</Application.Resources>
Thanks to a fellow Discord Member, he pointed me in the right direction, I was over complicating it trying to follow OnPlatform functionality.
This Merges based on OnIdiom and is working nicely.
<Application.Resources>
<ResourceDictionary>
<ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
<ResourceDictionary Source="Resources/Styles/Colors.xaml" />
<ResourceDictionary Source="Resources/Styles/Margins.xaml" />
<ResourceDictionary Source='{OnIdiom Phone="Resources/Styles/FixedSizesPhone.xaml"}' />
<ResourceDictionary Source='{OnIdiom Tablet="Resources/Styles/FixedSizesTablet.xaml"}' />
<ResourceDictionary Source="Resources/Styles/Styles.xaml" />
</ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
</ResourceDictionary>
</Application.Resources>
