Edit PDF page labels in Xamarin.Android

This tutorial only applies to Xamarin.Android.

The PageLabelDialogFragment allows you to add or modify the page labels in a PDF document. Page labels are typically used to describe a page, such as allowing for non-sequential page numbering (such as the inclusion of Roman numerals at the beginning of a book) or the addition of arbitrary labels.

Show the page label editor

The page label editor can be shown from an activity by calling the following method:

C#

1public void ShowPageLabelSettingsDialog(FragmentManager fragmentManager, int fromPage, int toPage, int pageCount)
2{
3    var dialog = pdftron.PDF.Dialog.PageLabel.PageLabelDialog.NewInstance(fromPage, toPage, pageCount);
4    dialog.SetStyle((int)DialogFragmentStyle.NoTitle, Resource.Style.PDFTronAppTheme);
5    dialog.Show(fragmentManager, "page_label_dialog");
6}

In order to recieve the inputs from the page label editor, you will also need to subscribe to completion events from the page label dialog:

C#

1public class MyActivity : AppCompatActivity, Android.Arch.Lifecycle.IObserver
2{
3    public void PageLabelObserveOnComplete(AppCompatActivity activity, PDFViewCtrl pdfViewCtrl)
4    {
5        var viewModel = ViewModelProviders.Of(activity).Get(Java.Lang.Class.FromType(typeof(pdftron.PDF.Dialog.PageLabel.PageLabelSettingViewModel))) as pdftron.PDF.Dialog.PageLabel.PageLabelSettingViewModel;
6        viewModel.ObserveOnComplete(activity, this);
7    }
8
9    public void OnChanged(Java.Lang.Object p0)
10    {
11        if (p0 is pdftron.PDF.Tools.Utils.Event)
12        {
13            var someEvent = p0 as pdftron.PDF.Tools.Utils.Event;
14            if (!someEvent.HasBeenHandled)
15            {
16                var actualEvent = someEvent.ContentIfNotHandled;
17                if (actualEvent is pdftron.PDF.Dialog.PageLabel.PageLabelSetting)
18                {
19                    var pageLabelSettingEvent = actualEvent as pdftron.PDF.Dialog.PageLabel.PageLabelSetting;
20                    pdftron.PDF.Dialog.PageLabel.PageLabelUtils.SetPageLabel(mPdfViewCtrl, pageLabelSettingEvent);
21                }
22            }
23        }
24    }
25}
