Xamarin.Forms DependencyService Shared code
Example
After you've created and registered your platform-specific classes you can start hooking them up to your shared code. The following page contains a button that triggers the text-to-speech functionality using a pre-defined sentence. It uses DependencyService to retrieve a platform-specific implementation of ITextToSpeech at run time using the native SDKs.
public MainPage ()
{
var speakButton = new Button {
Text = "Talk to me baby!",
VerticalOptions = LayoutOptions.CenterAndExpand,
HorizontalOptions = LayoutOptions.CenterAndExpand,
};
speakButton.Clicked += (sender, e) => {
DependencyService.Get<ITextToSpeech>().Speak("Xamarin Forms likes eating cake by the ocean.");
};
Content = speakButton;
}
When you run this application on an iOS or Android device and tap the button you will hear the application speak the given sentence.
