Using this thing

Make sure you call (as standard with most plugins) the following line in each and every of your client projects:

Per platform nuances

There are some specific things that you must take into account when working with the controls, find the details below.

Forms.Controls.iOS

For the RatingBar to work on iOS:
  • You must provide a pair of images as image resources, you'll need one to represent an empty rating state and a filled rating state. I have provided a couple of them (star.png and star_filled.png) but I strongly suggest you provide your own images to tailor the experience in your app.
  • You must set the properties FilledImage and Image of the RatingBar object, to point to the previously mentioned files:
ratingBar1.FilledImage = "star_filled.png";
ratingBar1.Image = "star.png";

1It probably will give you a horrible warning, but it should work without issues.
