ACR MvvmCross Plugins

I loved Stuart Lodge's MvvmCross, so I built several services on it that I've used on a few projects with great success.

All plugins will be available through nuget
WinStore & WinPhone platform plugins are in the works

##User Dialogs Allows for messagebox style dialogs

Action Sheet (multiple choice menu)
Alert
Prompt
Confirm
Loading
Progress
Toast

#Powered By:

Android - Progress/Loading uses AndHUD
iOS - Progress/Loading uses BTProgressHUD
WinPhone - All dialogs by Coding4Fun Toolkit

##Bar Code Scanner Powered by Redth's ZXing.Net.Mobile

new MvxCommand(async () => {
    var scan = Mvx.Resolve<IBarCodeScanner>();
    var r = await scan.Read(flashlightText: "Turn on flashlight", cancelText: "Cancel");

    Result = (r.Success 
        ? String.Format("Barcode Result - Format: {0} - Code: {1}", r.Format, r.Code)
        : "Cancelled barcode scan"
    );
});

##Network I needed something beyond what MvvmCross had out of the box. I had a requirement for detecting network state changes so that we could inform the user when they were working in an offline state.

INetworkService subscribes to INotifyPropertyChanged and monitors the device network status
You can also use MvxMessenger to subscribe to NetworkStatusChangedMessage to watch for changes outside of your view model

##Settings A simple settings library that works differently than the traditional setting plugins out there. Instead, my approach was to work with an observable dictionary.

##Device Info Allows you to get the information of the device for auditing purposes
