DurationPicker

A standalone duration picker control. Tapping it opens a FloatingPanel containing hour and minute pickers (with “hr”/“min” labels) and Done/Cancel buttons. The selected value is exposed as a TimeSpan? via the two-way bindable Duration property.

.NET MAUI

Important: Placement Requirement

DurationPicker uses a FloatingPanel internally, so it must be placed inside a page that provides an overlay host — use ShinyContentPage (recommended) or add an OverlayHost to the visual tree, exactly like a standalone FloatingPanel. Placing it on a plain ContentPage will not display the picker.

Basic Usage

<shiny:ShinyContentPage xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/dotnet/2021/maui"
                         xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
                         xmlns:shiny="http://shiny.net/maui/controls"
                         x:Class="MyApp.DurationPage"
                         Title="Duration">
  <shiny:ShinyContentPage.PageContent>
    <VerticalStackLayout Padding="20" Spacing="20">

      <shiny:DurationPicker Duration="{Binding SelectedDuration, Mode=TwoWay}"
                            Placeholder="Choose duration" />

    </VerticalStackLayout>
  </shiny:ShinyContentPage.PageContent>
</shiny:ShinyContentPage>

Constraints & Intervals

MinDuration/MaxDuration clamp the selected value, and MinuteInterval controls the minute step shown in the picker (e.g. 1 for every minute, 15 for quarter-hours).

<!-- 15 minutes to 8 hours, 5-minute steps -->
<shiny:DurationPicker Duration="{Binding MeetingLength, Mode=TwoWay}"
                      MinDuration="0:15:00"
                      MaxDuration="8:00:00"
                      MinuteInterval="5"
                      Placeholder="Select duration" />

<!-- Precise: every minute up to 2 hours -->
<shiny:DurationPicker Duration="{Binding Timer, Mode=TwoWay}"
                      MinuteInterval="1"
                      MaxDuration="2:00:00"
                      Placeholder="Precise duration" />

Properties

Property	Type	Default	Description
Duration	TimeSpan?	null	Selected duration (two-way bindable)
MinDuration	TimeSpan	0:00:00	Minimum allowed duration; the result is clamped to this
MaxDuration	TimeSpan	24:00:00	Maximum allowed duration; also caps the hours shown in the picker
MinuteInterval	int	5	Minute increment step shown in the minute picker
Format	string	h\:mm	.NET TimeSpan format string used for the display text
Placeholder	string	Select duration	Text shown when no duration is selected
PlaceholderColor	Color	Gray	Placeholder text color
TextColor	Color?	null	Selected-duration text color
FontSize	double	16	Display font size

Events

Event	Signature	Description
DurationSelected	EventHandler<TimeSpan>	Raised when the user taps Done, with the clamped selected value

TableView: DurationPickerCell

Inside a TableView use DurationPickerCell, which wraps the same FloatingPanel-based picker as a settings-style row. It adds PickerTitle, a SelectedCommand (ICommand invoked with the chosen TimeSpan), and ValueTextColor, and shares Duration, MinDuration, MaxDuration, Format, and MinuteInterval.

<shiny:TableViewCell>
  <shiny:DurationPickerCell Text="Reminder"
                            Duration="{Binding Reminder, Mode=TwoWay}"
                            MinuteInterval="15"
                            PickerTitle="Remind me after" />
</shiny:TableViewCell>

As with the standalone control, the hosting page must use ShinyContentPage (or an OverlayHost) so the floating panel has somewhere to render.
