Badge for ToolbarItem

[flogeiger]

Description

Hi everyone, hope you are doing great!

I have an application in Net Maui 8 for IOS.

In the app, there are some icons in toolbar within a ContentPage.

When in xamarin, It was possible to define and show notification badges over icons by using drawables for specific platform as android, for example. But when it's about net maui, there is only documentation explaining how to include notification badges over app icon, but not over toolbar items inside the app pages.

So far, I couldn't find any docs about this kind of implementation. Her is the documentation for Xamarin:

Do anyone have some tips for that case, please?

Maybe open an issue in the community toolkit. Not sure this works on macOS and Windows? So that may be enough to get the toolkit to do this instead.

Are you sure that is the right place? Because i am Using the ContentPage.ToolbarItems:

I dont see the dependency between the ContentPage.ToolbarItems and Toolkit

@flogeiger sorry, I was not super clear. There is no dependency, but I am not sure if all the platforms support this feature. I also have not seen a super high demand. As a result, this may be faster made available if the community toolkit folks implemented it. It will be great to get into maui itself, but with .NET 9 around the corner I am not sure this will come to maui in the next year at least.
