Getting Started

This article will guide you through the steps needed to add a basic RadNumericInput control in your application.

1. Setting up the app

Take a look at these articles and follow the instructions to setup your app:

  • [Setup app with Telerik UI for Xamarin on Windows]({%slug getting-started-windows%})
  • [Setup app with Telerik UI for Xamarin on Mac]({%slug getting-started-mac%})

2. Adding the required Telerik references

You have two options:

  • Add the Telerik UI for Xamarin Nuget package following the instructions in [Telerik NuGet package server]({%slug telerik-nuget-server%}) topic.

If you don't want to add the all Telerik.UI.for.Xamarin nuget package, you have the option to add a separate nuget package. For RadNumericInput control you have to install the Telerik.UI.for.Xamarin.Input nuget package. This nuget will automatically refer the Telerik.UI.for.Xamarin.Primitives, Telerik.UI.for.Xamarin.Common, and Telerik.UI.for.Xamarin.DataControls nuget packages.

  • Add the references to Telerik assemblies manually, check the list below with the required assemblies for RadNumericInput component:
