Platform independent styling
Hold on! What has happened with the MainPage—no button, no text?
What is happening here is we have not specified colors for these elements, so the default color of the text has come up as white. Open up MainPage.xaml and change the text colors accordingly:
<Label x:Name="DesciptionLabel" Text="{Binding DescriptionMessage}" TextColor="Black" Font="Arial, 20" Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0"/>
<Button x:Name="SpeakButton" Text="{Binding SpeakTitle}" TextColor="Blue" Command="{Binding SpeakCommand}" Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="0"/>
It might be a good idea to color the background of the Entry object as well, so we can see the text definition:
<Entry x:Name="SpeakEntry" Placeholder="{Binding SpeakEntryPlaceholder}" BackgroundColor="Silver" ...Get Xamarin Blueprints now with the O’Reilly learning platform.
