StylusDrivers

Xamarin - Stylus Support

After successfully building PSPDFKit.iOS.Model.dll and PSPDFKit.iOS.UI.dll you can add stylus support to the framework by following these steps:

Step 1 - Copy required files

1. Copy PSPDFKit.framework and PSPDFKitUI.framework into StylusDrivers/externals.
2. Copy Extras/StylusSupport/Drivers (you can find this folder in the dmg you downloaded from your customer portal) into StylusDrivers/externals.

Step 2 - Add stylus SDKs

1. Visit our stylus support documentation for a list of supported styluses and download links for the vendor SDKs.
2. After downloading the vendor SDKs (.framework and/or .bundle files) you integrate them by moving them into the StylusDrivers/externals.

Step 3 - Building the stylus drivers

1. Switch to the Xamarin-iOS/StylusDrivers folder in a terminal.
2. You can see all available build options by running $ make.
3. To build all drivers call $ make alldrivers. To build individual drivers call $ make adonit for example.
4. The compiled driver Dlls will be placed in the Xamarin-iOS/StylusDrivers folder.

Step 4 - Integrating the stylus drivers

Start by adding the compiled driver Dlls into your own Xamarin.iOS project and add the following using statement:

using PSPDFKit.UI.StylusSupport;

Before creating a PSPDFViewController, register the driver classes by setting PSPDFKitGlobal.SharedInstance.GetStylusManager ().AvailableDriverClasses.

PSPDFKitGlobal.SharedInstance.GetStylusManager ().AvailableDriverClasses = new NSOrderedSet (
	(INativeObject) new Class (typeof (PSPDFAdonitStylusDriver))
);

If you use PSPDFAnnotationToolbar, show the stylus button by setting ShowingStylusButton to true.

To see this in action, take a look at our example code.
