[Xamarin Forms] Button text alignment issue in Android
Recently, I had to deal with custom Buttons in my Android application. So I designed custom renderers to render it. Unfortunately, I encountered a strange behavior with the text alignment of my buttons. This happens when the button changes of state : - Originally the button's text is centered - When you click it, the text moves to the left See images below: Before / after the button click After investigating, I found a solution to my problem. In my Android custom button renderer, I had to overwrite a specific method: ChildDrawableStateChanged public class ExtButtonRenderer : ViewRenderer<Extbutton, global::android.widget.button> { ... public override void ChildDrawableStateChanged(Android.Views.View child) { base.ChildDrawableStateChanged(child); if (Control != null) Control.Text = Control.Text; } ... } That's all !
