c# ui alert/progress bar

[bakes82 167]

@softworkzHave you added a simple way to display a popup like how throwing an alert displays a simple popup?
Also looking for a simple progress bar (infinity spinner is fine) could be like a spacer item, just make visible when needed.

Also can we have an option to make the plugin take up full width on the main page, it sems to only be taking up 50%, or did I miss something because you have full width as an example of a popup

The two way for displaying progress bars are StatusItem or GenericListItem. You can make a status item visible  based on another property (which you can control from code.

Already possible:

        public DialogsPageView(PluginInfo pluginInfo)
        : base(pluginInfo.Id)
        {
            this.DialogSize = DialogSize.FullScreen;
            this.CompactViewAppearance = CompactViewAppearance.UseAllScreenSpace;
        }

For showing something manually, a Dialog with Emby SDK Reference: DialogSize.Small is the best you can get.

Then, for all buttons, there's the  Emby SDK Reference: ButtonItem.ConfirmationPrompt property. When you add any text there, user will get an OK/Cancel prompt when clicking the button (showing that text)

Doesnt this only apply to dialogs? Im talking about the PluginViewBase page, I dont want to have to open something in a dialog.

This seems to be the issue

You declare the content but the presentation is on the side of Emby. It makes sure that it is presented in the best way on phones, tablets, desktop and TV. You cannot change that.

But it doesn't present it in the best way on desktops. On desktop it is forced to whatever your max is, which isnt very dynamic, nor does it scale well.  Like why does the "dashboard" have 100% width but my plugin cant. Id even go for an option that says this plugin can only be used on desktop just so I can have 100% width, though Im not sure what the point of having 80char max is for desktop, is 1990 calling?

This is the pattern that works and that we are using for the grid:

 

 

That's all I have to offer.

There's a way to add  buttons to the bottom bar, but it might be broken by the oversized button.

Don't know the current state, I've proposed a number of fixes but there was no agreement and then I gave it up.

Sad, seems to be the state of Emby though lol.
