I've been going trhough all the articles and codes i found here, but most of them seem to be outdated, or make use of external tools.
I'd need to create a miniature gallery, with two columns, and scrollable.
my aproach would be to use a collectionview, or a listview with a grid in each element.
But not sure that this is the proper aproach.
What would a current good solution be to create a 2 column scrollable miniature gallery with the current tools available in xamarin?
You can only use CollectionView to implement it.
There is a layout property of CollectionView : Span
Span, of type int, that represents the number of columns or rows to display in the grid. The default value of this property is 1, and its value must always be greater than or equal to 1.
You can follow the bellow code :
Vertical list : CollectionView can display its items in a vertical grid by setting its ItemsLayout property to a GridItemsLayout object whose Orientation property is set to Vertical:
<CollectionView ItemsSource="{Binding Monkeys}">
<CollectionView.ItemsLayout>
<GridItemsLayout Orientation="Vertical"
Span="2" />
</CollectionView.ItemsLayout>
<CollectionView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Grid Padding="10">
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="35" />
<RowDefinition Height="35" />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="70" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="80" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Image Grid.RowSpan="2"
Source="{Binding ImageUrl}"
Aspect="AspectFill"
HeightRequest="60"
WidthRequest="60" />
<!--<Label Grid.Column="1"
Text="{Binding Name}"
FontAttributes="Bold"
LineBreakMode="TailTruncation" />
<Label Grid.Row="1"
Grid.Column="1"
Text="{Binding Location}"
LineBreakMode="TailTruncation"
FontAttributes="Italic"
VerticalOptions="End" />-->
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
</CollectionView.ItemTemplate>
</CollectionView>
The model binded in ContentPage :
public partial class VerticalGridPage : ContentPage
{
public VerticalGridPage()
{
InitializeComponent();
BindingContext = new MonkeysViewModel();
}
}
About the MonkeysViewModel.cs , you can havev a look at this official sample link .

I am making an app I want to add an item in the list view like favorite .I was wondering if some one have an procedure that I can use o see or and example of what I need.
Thanks
Please help on this im new to Xamarin forms.
In your listview, you can use Xamarin.Forms SwipeView to achieve this function.
The SwipeView is a container control that wraps around an item of content, and provides context menu items that are revealed by a swipe gesture:
You can refer to the follownng code:
<CollectionView x:Name="collectionView"
ItemsSource="{Binding Monkeys}">
<CollectionView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<SwipeView>
<SwipeView.LeftItems>
<SwipeItems>
<SwipeItem Text="Favorite"
IconImageSource="favorite.png"
BackgroundColor="LightGreen"
Command="{Binding Source={x:Reference collectionView}, Path=BindingContext.FavoriteCommand}"
CommandParameter="{Binding}" />
<SwipeItem Text="Delete"
IconImageSource="delete.png"
BackgroundColor="LightPink"
Command="{Binding Source={x:Reference collectionView}, Path=BindingContext.DeleteCommand}"
CommandParameter="{Binding}" />
</SwipeItems>
</SwipeView.LeftItems>
<Grid BackgroundColor="White"
Padding="10">
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
<RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Image Grid.RowSpan="2"
Source="{Binding ImageUrl}"
Aspect="AspectFill"
HeightRequest="60"
WidthRequest="60" />
<Label Grid.Column="1"
Text="{Binding Name}"
FontAttributes="Bold" />
<Label Grid.Row="1"
Grid.Column="1"
Text="{Binding Location}"
FontAttributes="Italic"
VerticalOptions="End" />
</Grid>
</SwipeView>
</DataTemplate>
</CollectionView.ItemTemplate>
</CollectionView>
The key code in MonkeysViewModel.cs is:
public ICommand FavoriteCommand => new Command<Monkey>(FavoriteMonkey);
void FavoriteMonkey(Monkey monkey)
{
monkey.IsFavorite = !monkey.IsFavorite;
}
Note:
Though it is used in CollectionView, but the usage in listView is similar.

Please focus on page :
VerticalListSwipeContextItemsPage.xaml .
I have built a simple and basic app. In order to help people to understand easly the app.
I would like to create a dynamic turorial. My idea is put differents content's pages in a carousel or collection view. And In every content's pages there is an image in background and I will add label and box to explain fonctionalities
Here you will find an example of an image that I will put in background of content page and add label to explain highlighted information
My question are :
I have 3 content pages that I will put backgroud image on it :
home =new HomePage(), Page2 page2 =new Page2() & Page3 page3 =new Page3()
how can i easly add label where I want as the image will be in background ?
how I can put those content pages in carrousel view or collection view ?
Thanks for your help
You can create carousel like this:
<StackLayout Grid.Row="1" HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand" VerticalOptions="FillAndExpand">
<CarouselView x:Name="cvTutorial" ItemsSource="{Binding Tutorials}" HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Never" ItemsUpdatingScrollMode="KeepItemsInView" HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand" VerticalOptions="FillAndExpand" PeekAreaInsets="10" IsScrollAnimated="True" PositionChanged="cvTutorial_PositionChanged">
<CarouselView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Grid RowSpacing="0" Padding="0" HorizontalOptions="End">
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="*"/>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<ffimageloading:CachedImage BackgroundColor="Transparent" Grid.Row="0" x:Name="tutorialImg" Source="{Binding ImageUrl}" Aspect="AspectFit" HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand"
Margin="{DynamicResource 50,40,50,00}" HeightRequest="350"/>
<StackLayout Grid.Row="1" HorizontalOptions="Center" VerticalOptions="End" Padding="0,30,0,0" Spacing="15">
<Label Style="{StaticResource RobotoBoldSize24WhiteLabelStyle}" HorizontalTextAlignment="Center" Text="{Binding Title}" Padding="10,10,10,0" />
<Label Style="{StaticResource RobotoRegularSize16LightGrayLabelStyle}" HorizontalTextAlignment="Center" Text="{Binding Subtitle}" HorizontalOptions="Center"
Padding="50,10,50,10" />
</StackLayout>
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
</CarouselView.ItemTemplate>
</CarouselView>
<Grid x:Name="indicatorGrid" ColumnSpacing="3" HorizontalOptions="Center" VerticalOptions="Start" Padding="{DynamicResource MarginPadding00_20_00_40}"
ColumnDefinitions = "25,25,25">
<pancake:PancakeView x:Name="Dot_1" Grid.Column="0" Style="{StaticResource SelectedIndicatorStyle}" />
<pancake:PancakeView x:Name="Dot_2" Grid.Column="1" Style="{StaticResource UnselectedIndicatorStyle}" />
<pancake:PancakeView x:Name="Dot_3" Grid.Column="2" Style="{StaticResource UnselectedIndicatorStyle}"/>
</Grid>
</StackLayout>

i am using Xamarin to realize a listView that is filled dynamically with a list of object.
The main problem is that even i use a static list of 2 elements (for example) there is, in the view, a blank space belonging the listView.
The inherent code is the following:
SfidePage.xaml
<ListView
Grid.Row="2"
x:Name="sfideLanciate"
HasUnevenRows="true"
SeparatorVisibility="None"
>
<ListView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<ViewCell>
<Grid
BackgroundColor="{StaticResource OpzioniTitleBackgroundColor}"
Margin="0,1,0,0"
RowSpacing="0"
ColumnSpacing="10"
VerticalOptions="Start"
Padding="5"
>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="2*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="7*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="1*"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ci:CircleImage Source="avatar" Aspect="AspectFill"
HorizontalOptions="Center" VerticalOptions="Start"
HeightRequest="70" WidthRequest="70"
BorderColor="{StaticResource OpzioniLineDividerBackground}" BorderThickness="3"
Grid.Row="0"></ci:CircleImage>
<Grid RowSpacing="0" ColumnSpacing="0" Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="0">
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition />
<RowDefinition />
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Label Text="In attesa di Kyle Cain" FontSize="16" Grid.Row="0" TextColor="Black" FontAttributes="Bold"></Label>
<Label Text="Ardeatina Roma 70" Grid.Row="1" TextColor="Black"></Label>
<Label Text="10 DOMANDE - Argomento: Pannelli integrativi" Grid.Row="2" TextColor="{StaticResource LightGreyInfo}"></Label>
</Grid>
<Label Text="1h" Grid.Column="2" Grid.Row="0" TextColor="{StaticResource LightGreyInfo}" HorizontalTextAlignment="Center"></Label>
</Grid>
</ViewCell>
</DataTemplate>
</ListView.ItemTemplate>
</ListView>
SfidePage.xaml.cs
public partial class SfidePage : ContentPage
{
public SfidePage ()
{
InitializeComponent ();
sfideLanciate.ItemsSource = new List<int> { 1, 2 };
}
}
The output is the following:
https://i.imgur.com/jQ40JCr.png
"SFIDE COMPLETATE" is a Stack Layout after the listView, so the blank space is part of the listView.
How can i adapt the height of listView to its elements?
It might be related to the padding property, have you tried removing it?
Also, you set the Margin-Top as 1, this could probably create the Space too.
You set the top margin to 1 in your code: Margin="0,1,0,0" change that to Margin="0" and the space should be gone...
In the Listview, add and set the property "HasUnevenRows = true".
If it doesn't have that property it doesn't bind items to the uneven rows, but still displays them as blank rows.
I have a collection of objects that has a property like "ValueType", based on this property I invoke a DataTemplateSelector class that would return type of control to be displayed for that object.
<control:ControlDataTemplateSelector x:Key="personDataTemplateSelector"
RangeTemplate="{StaticResource rangeControl}"
EnumTemplate="{StaticResource pickControl}"
DateTemplate="{StaticResource dateControl}"/>
<DataTemplate x:Key="rangeControl">
<ViewCell>
<Grid>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<control:ScreenLabel Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="{Binding Path=SortOrder, Converter={StaticResource sortOrderToColIndexConverter}}" Text="{Binding Path=TraitDescription}" />
<Entry Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="{Binding Path=SortOrder, Converter={StaticResource sortOrderToColIndexConverter}}" />
</Grid>
</ViewCell>
</DataTemplate>
<DataTemplate x:Key="dateControl">
<ViewCell>
<Grid>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<control:ScreenLabel Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="{Binding Path=SortOrder, Converter={StaticResource sortOrderToColIndexConverter}}" Text="{Binding Path=TraitDescription}" />
<DatePicker Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="{Binding Path=SortOrder, Converter={StaticResource sortOrderToColIndexConverter}}"></DatePicker>
</Grid>
</ViewCell>
</DataTemplate>
<DataTemplate x:Key="pickControl">
<ViewCell>
<Grid>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<control:ScreenLabel Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="{Binding Path=SortOrder, Converter={StaticResource sortOrderToColIndexConverter}}" Text="{Binding Path=TraitDescription}" />
<Picker Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="{Binding Path=SortOrder, Converter={StaticResource sortOrderToColIndexConverter}}" />
</Grid>
</ViewCell>
</DataTemplate>
I am having issue displaying these in grid with two column format, for example if there are 9 objects in the collection need to display a tabular view with 4 rows of 2 columns each and a 5th row that has one column.
With my current code, i get a zig zag kind of layout. But I need Like thisNeed some suggestions
Am looking for solution that would need to work in iOS and Droid
I would use StackLayouts instead of Grids inside of your ViewCells.
You can do:
<StackLayout VerticalOptions="FillAndExpand" >
<control:ScreenLabel Text="{Binding Path=TraitDescription}" />
<Entry />
</StackLayout>
Are you sure your Bindings are coming back properly? I haven't seen a comma separated Markup Extension setting on attribute.
Any one looking for answer, we resolved it by using FLowlist view control. It provides options to have side-by-side view
I am trying to display a CarouselView inside a TabbedPage. I already added the (prerelease-)packages to the Project. Here is my xaml file:
<control:CarouselView x:Name="CVMain"
HeightRequest="150" >
<control:CarouselView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Label HorizontalOptions="Center"
Text="Just a test :)"
VerticalOptions="Center" />
</DataTemplate>
</control:CarouselView.ItemTemplate>
</control:CarouselView>
(control: xmlns:control="clr-namespace:Xamarin.Forms;assembly=Xamarin.Forms.CarouselView")
The label doesn't show up when I launch my app. The carousel still exists tho, I can confirm that by adding the BackgroundColor="Green"attribute to the CarouselView.
What am I missing?
Edit: As suggested, I placed the Label inside a Grid, but without any success (I also added an Image):
<control:CarouselView x:Name="CVMain" HeightRequest="150">
<control:CarouselView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Grid>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="*" />
<RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Image Grid.RowSpan="2"
Aspect="AspectFill"
Source="{Binding ImageBase64,
Converter={StaticResource Base64ToImageConverter}}" />
<StackLayout Grid.Row="1">
<Label Text="Test123" />
</StackLayout>
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
</control:CarouselView.ItemTemplate>
</control:CarouselView>
