Change & set default tool mode

This tutorial only applies to Xamarin.Android. See Xamarin.iOS equivalent here .

When setting up the ToolManager, the default Tool is the Pan Tool. To change the tool, use ToolManager.setTool(ToolManager.Tool) API.

For example, to switch to the Text Highlighting tool, do the following:

C#

mToolManager.Tool = mToolManager.CreateTool(ToolManager.ToolMode.TextHighlight, mToolManager.Tool);

Java

mToolManager.setTool(mToolManager.createTool(ToolMode.TEXT_HIGHLIGHT, mToolManager.getTool()));

Kotlin

mToolManager.tool = mToolManager.createTool(ToolMode.TEXT_HIGHLIGHT, mToolManager.tool)

To continuously using the same tool, do:

C#

var tool = mToolManager.CreateTool(ToolManager.ToolMode.TextHighlight, mToolManager.Tool);
((Tool) tool).ForceSameNextToolMode = true;
mToolManager.Tool = tool;

Java

Tool tool = mToolManager.createTool(ToolMode.TEXT_HIGHLIGHT, mToolManager.getTool())
((Tool) tool).setForceSameNextToolMode(true)
mToolManager.setTool(tool);

Kotlin

val tool = mToolManager.createTool(ToolMode.TEXT_HIGHLIGHT, mToolManager.tool)
(tool as Tool).isForceSameNextToolMode = true
mToolManager.tool = tool
