Sample code for CarouselView + IndicatorView on Tizen

[matthewkrueger]

The documentation mentions that IndexPage is deprecated and to use CarouselView + IndicatorView instead.

The problem is there are no examples of how to accomplish this. I've tried to figure it out using other examples from Xaramin.Forms samples (not tizen-specific) and I am able to get a CarouselView, but the indicators are not showing on top of the screen, and they are not rounding to fit the circular watch screen like IndexPage does.

Please update the documentation and sample project to provide an example of how to accomplish CarouselView + IndicatorView on a Tizen watch.

For now I'm just using IndexPage, but as this is a brand new app I'd really like to not release this using deprecated libraries.

Thanks!

Have you tried to use the example from issue #330?

what is the reason IndexPage was deprecated? wasn't it a better way of carouselview?
I have wrote into other issues as well that problem here is we use indexPage like tabbedpage on xamarin.forms and it causes confusion when you cannot have multiple pages on a single view.

Hi @EmilAlipiev! Happy new year!

The main reason is that IndexPage is a MultiPage that does not provide special features, so there is no need to provide it as a separate class. If you want to use a Page rather than a View, I recommend using CarouselPage. (Both are almost the same)

See the xamarin guide below for more details on why CarouselView replaces CarouselPage.
