What is Maui.Insets?

Maui.Insets is a .NET MAUI library allowing developers to extend their application's content to the edge of the device and apply the window insets wherever they need to.

Setup

Enable this plugin by calling UseInsets() in your MauiProgram.cs

using Maui.Insets;

public static class MauiProgram
{
	public static MauiApp CreateMauiApp()
	{
		var builder = MauiApp.CreateBuilder();
		
		// Initialise the plugin
		builder
            .UseMauiApp<App>()
            .UseInsets();

		// the rest of your logic...
	}
}

XAML usage

In order to make use of the plugin within XAML you can use this namespace:

xmlns:insets="https://schemas.the49.com/dotnet/2023/maui"

API

This plugin offers a set of tools to help with device insets

Attached Properties

The following properties are available to use:

Name Type Description
EdgeToEdge bool Expands the content of the page to fill the device's window
StatusBarStyle StatusBarStyle Sets the style of the status bar to fit the content drawn underneath. This is ignored if EdgeToEdge is not enabled
Example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<ContentPage xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/dotnet/2021/maui"
             xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
             xmlns:insets="https://schemas.the49.com/dotnet/2023/maui"
             x:Class="The49.Maui.Insets.Sample.MainPage"
             Shell.NavBarIsVisible="False"
             insets:Insets.EdgeToEdge="True"
             insets:Insets.StatusBarStyle="LightContent"
             Title="Main Page">
             
</ContentPage>

View model

A static view model is available under Insets.Current with the following properties:

Name Type Description
InsetsThickness Thickness Contains the insets for all sides of the window. This is 0 if EdgeToEdge is disabled for the current page
TopInsetThickness Thickness Contains the insets for the top of the window. This is 0 if EdgeToEdge is disabled for the current page
BottomInsetThickness Thickness Contains the insets for the bottom of the window. This is 0 if EdgeToEdge is disabled for the current page
DeviceInsetsThickness Thickness Contains the insets for all sides of the window. This will always contain the insets, even if EdgeToEdge is disabled

These properties react to window insets changes and to the EdgeToEdge page property, they can be used as bindings, adjusting your content to avoid overlapping with the status bar for example.

Example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<ContentPage xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/dotnet/2021/maui"
             xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
             xmlns:insets="https://schemas.the49.com/dotnet/2023/maui"
             x:Class="The49.Maui.Insets.Sample.SalmonPage"
             insets:Insets.EdgeToEdge="True"
             Shell.NavBarIsVisible="False"
             Title="SalmonPage">
    <Grid RowDefinitions="Auto, Auto, *, Auto, Auto">
        <ContentView Background="Salmon" Padding="{Binding TopInsetThickness, Source={x:Static insets:Insets.Current}}">
            <Label Text="Main Page" Padding="16" FontSize="22" TextColor="White" HorizontalOptions="Center" />
        </ContentView>
        <Label Text="^^^ This view is padded to avoid colliding with the status bar ^^^" FontSize="12" HorizontalTextAlignment="Center" Grid.Row="1" />
        <Label Text="vvv This view is padded to avoid colliding with navigation bar vvv" FontSize="12" HorizontalTextAlignment="Center" Grid.Row="3" />
        <ContentView Background="Salmon" Padding="{Binding BottomInsetThickness, Source={x:Static insets:Insets.Current}}" Grid.Row="4">
            <Label Text="Footer" FontSize="22" TextColor="White" HorizontalOptions="Center" />
        </ContentView>
    </Grid>
</ContentPage>

Views

3 views are available, matching the InsetsThickness TopInsetThickness and BottomInsetThickness. These are convenience views that are the equivalent of setting the padding to an insets property on a ContentView

The previous example can be simplified with the following for example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<ContentPage xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/dotnet/2021/maui"
             xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
             xmlns:insets="https://schemas.the49.com/dotnet/2023/maui"
             x:Class="The49.Maui.Insets.Sample.SalmonPage"
             insets:Insets.EdgeToEdge="True"
             Shell.NavBarIsVisible="False"
             Title="SalmonPage">
    <Grid RowDefinitions="Auto, Auto, *, Auto, Auto">
        <insets:TopInsetView Background="Salmon">
            <Label Text="Main Page" Padding="16" FontSize="22" TextColor="White" HorizontalOptions="Center" />
        </insets:TopInsetView>
        <Label Text="^^^ This view is padded to avoid colliding with the status bar ^^^" FontSize="12" HorizontalTextAlignment="Center" Grid.Row="1" />
        <Label Text="vvv This view is padded to avoid colliding with navigation bar vvv" FontSize="12" HorizontalTextAlignment="Center" Grid.Row="3" />
        <insets:BottomInsetView Background="Salmon" Grid.Row="4">
            <Label Text="Footer" FontSize="22" TextColor="White" HorizontalOptions="Center" />
        </insets:BottomInsetView>
    </Grid>
</ContentPage>
