#region in axml file for xamarin.android












0















hello I am trying to make my code in the axml file more readable I have a lot of switches in my program and I want to shrink this part of the code. I read something about it and I found



<!--#region Name-->
My Code
<!--#endregion-->


But it is referred as a normal comment. Could you help me out? I am using Visual Studio 2017 in case it is important to mention.

          If you want to make the .axml file more readable, you could click the indent button: Effect.





          Or you could use the <include/> tag embed another layout inside the current layout to make it more readable. For example, create a titlebar.axml:



          <FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
          xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
          android:layout_width="match_parent"
          android:layout_height="wrap_content"
          android:background="@color/titlebar_bg"
          tools:showIn="@layout/activity_main" >

          <ImageView android:layout_width="wrap_content"
          android:layout_height="wrap_content"
          android:src="@drawable/gafricalogo" />
          </FrameLayout>


          Use it in another layout file:



          <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
          android:orientation="vertical"
          android:layout_width="match_parent"
          android:layout_height="match_parent"
          android:background="@color/app_bg"
          android:gravity="center_horizontal">

          <include layout="@layout/titlebar"/>

          <TextView android:layout_width="match_parent"
          android:layout_height="wrap_content"
          android:text="@string/hello"
          android:padding="10dp" />

          ...

          </LinearLayout>


          Update:



          I think the XAML Regions is what you are looking in your .axml file.



          Update 2:



          Install this plugin for your Visual Studio, close all your Visual Studio windows and reopen the VS. Then, you could the the #Region function for your



          <!-- Region (Any Text You Want) --> 
          Your Code
          <!-- EndRegion -->

          • My point is that I have 32 switches in my code. I find it stupid to click on the button you are talking about for everyone of them. I wanted to specify an area that can be collapsed and hidden when I want so I can hide all of them at once.
