## Edit PDF page labels in Xamarin.Android

{% hint style="info" %}
**This tutorial only applies to Xamarin.Android.**
{% endhint %}

The [`PageLabelDialogFragment`](https://sdk.apryse.com/api/xamarinandroid/tools/api/pdftron.PDF.Dialog.PageLabel.PageLabelDialog.html) 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:

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="C#" %}
{% code lineNumbers="true" %}

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

{% endcode %}
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

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:

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="C#" %}
{% code lineNumbers="true" %}

```csharp
public class MyActivity : AppCompatActivity, Android.Arch.Lifecycle.IObserver
{
    public void PageLabelObserveOnComplete(AppCompatActivity activity, PDFViewCtrl pdfViewCtrl)
    {
        var viewModel = ViewModelProviders.Of(activity).Get(Java.Lang.Class.FromType(typeof(pdftron.PDF.Dialog.PageLabel.PageLabelSettingViewModel))) as pdftron.PDF.Dialog.PageLabel.PageLabelSettingViewModel;
        viewModel.ObserveOnComplete(activity, this);
    }

    public void OnChanged(Java.Lang.Object p0)
    {
        if (p0 is pdftron.PDF.Tools.Utils.Event)
        {
            var someEvent = p0 as pdftron.PDF.Tools.Utils.Event;
            if (!someEvent.HasBeenHandled)
            {
                var actualEvent = someEvent.ContentIfNotHandled;
                if (actualEvent is pdftron.PDF.Dialog.PageLabel.PageLabelSetting)
                {
                    var pageLabelSettingEvent = actualEvent as pdftron.PDF.Dialog.PageLabel.PageLabelSetting;
                    pdftron.PDF.Dialog.PageLabel.PageLabelUtils.SetPageLabel(mPdfViewCtrl, pageLabelSettingEvent);
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
```

{% endcode %}
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.apryse.com/xamarin/page-manipulation/page-label-editor.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
