Aritchie userdialogs no background for ShowSuccess and ShowError on iOS - ios

Question

I have installed Aritchie userdialogs version 5 and I'm using Xamarin.Forms Version 2.2.
When I use UserDialogs.Instance.ShowSuccess or UserDialogs.Instance.ShowError, on Android a dark backgroud is displayed, on iOS is NOT displayed which makes this alert message pretty unreadable when the page behind is mostly white.
On iOS I just get the message and the icon in the center of the screen but no dark background.
Example code on iOS:
UserDialogs.Instance.ShowSuccess("Data saved correctly");
How can I solve it ?

Answer 1

Without and With ForceiOS6LookAndFeel:
In your iOS native app:
Add the Nuget BTProgressHUD
In your: AppDelegate (AppDelegate.cs):
add the using clause: using BigTed;
add the code BTProgressHUD.ForceiOS6LookAndFeel = true; in FinishedLaunching method
All done :-)
public override bool FinishedLaunching(UIApplication app, NSDictionary options)
{
BTProgressHUD.ForceiOS6LookAndFeel = true;
global::Xamarin.Forms.Forms.Init();
LoadApplication(new App());
return base.FinishedLaunching(app, options);
}
Any calls within your Xamarin.Forms based code to ShowSuccess (or any other BTProgressHud dependent code) will default to 'older' style.

Answer 2

Is it possible to use a Toast instead? As you can set the background like so:
ToastConfig.SuccessBackgroundColor = System.Drawing.Color.BurlyWood;
create it like so:
Toast(ToastEvent.Success)
Either that or you are going to have to change the BTProgressHud settings that Acr.UserDialogs uses. I managed it by setting these values in Acr.UserDialogs.iOS UserDialogsImpl.cs:
public override void ShowSuccess(string message, int timeoutMillis)
{
UIApplication.SharedApplication.InvokeOnMainThread(() =>
{
BTProgressHUD.ForceiOS6LookAndFeel = true; // This is the line you need
BTProgressHUD.ShowSuccessWithStatus(message, timeoutMillis);
});
}
And it looks like this:
