Avalonia.Controls.Maui.Essentials 11.0.0-preview.2.26082.825

Avalonia.Controls.Maui.Essentials

Avalonia.Controls.Maui.Essentials provides Avalonia-based implementations of Microsoft.Maui.Essentials APIs. Internally, it generally uses Avalonia APIs for accessing services, unless they don't exist or are specific to platforms where that would not be applicable.

Setup

Call UseAvaloniaEssentials() on your MauiAppBuilder:

var builder = MauiApp.CreateBuilder();
builder
    .UseMauiApp<App>()
    .UseAvaloniaApp()
    .UseAvaloniaEssentials();

Implemented APIs

API Namespace Status Notes
Screenshot Microsoft.Maui.Media Implemented Full support. Note: Always outputs PNG regardless of requested format.
FilePicker Microsoft.Maui.Storage Implemented Full support for single and multi-file selection. MIME types and UTIs are converted to glob patterns where possible.
MediaPicker Microsoft.Maui.Media Partial Photo and video picking is supported. Camera capture (CapturePhotoAsync/CaptureVideoAsync) throws NotSupportedException.
FileSystem Microsoft.Maui.Storage Implemented CacheDirectory, AppDataDirectory, and app package file access via Avalonia's avares:// asset loader.
HapticFeedback Microsoft.Maui.Devices Stub IsSupported returns false. Perform() is a no-op. Haptic feedback is not available on desktop platforms.
Preferences Microsoft.Maui.Storage Implemented Full support for all types (string, int, bool, long, double, float, DateTime, DateTimeOffset). Persists to a JSON file. Supports shared containers.

Not Implemented APIs

For APIs that have not been implemented in Microsoft.Maui.Essentials APIs, they will fall back to the default .NET MAUI standard implementations. These will most likely throw NotImplementedException as most of them are platform specific implementations. We are adding more support for the areas we can cover.

No packages depend on Avalonia.Controls.Maui.Essentials.
