Xamarin Convert imageUrl to imagesource via webclient Auto Rotaion Bug - xamarin

I convert imageUrl to imagesource via webclient.
Here is my Code
public static async Task<ImageSource> MakeImageSource(string url)
{
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(url))
{
WebClient webClient = new WebClient();
byte[] byteArray = null;
byteArray = webClient.DownloadData(url);
if (byteArray != null)
return ImageSource.FromStream(() => new MemoryStream(byteArray));
}
return "";
}
But when I convert a horizontally long image, it rotates by 90.
This is the xaml code that uses the image source.
I have binding an imageSource to a 'ProfileImage'.
<Grid>
<Frame WidthRequest="40" HeightRequest="40" Padding="0" HasShadow="False" CornerRadius="20" IsClippedToBounds="True">
<Grid>
<Image WidthRequest="40" HeightRequest="40" Aspect="AspectFill" VerticalOptions="CenterAndExpand" HorizontalOptions="CenterAndExpand" Source="profile_2"/>
<Image WidthRequest="40" HeightRequest="40" Aspect="AspectFill" VerticalOptions="CenterAndExpand" HorizontalOptions="CenterAndExpand" Source="{Binding ProfileImage}"/>
</Grid>
</Frame>
<Frame WidthRequest="15" HeightRequest="15" CornerRadius="7.5" Padding="1" HasShadow="False" BackgroundColor="White" IsClippedToBounds="True"
VerticalOptions="EndAndExpand" HorizontalOptions="EndAndExpand">
<Frame.Triggers>
<DataTrigger TargetType="Frame" Binding="{Binding UserLoginPlatform}" Value="001">
<Setter Property="IsVisible" Value="False"/>
</DataTrigger>
</Frame.Triggers>
<Image Aspect="AspectFill" Source="{Binding UserLoginPlatform}" IsVisible="true"/>
</Frame>
</Grid>
what's the problem

Wanting to add colour to the selected item when sleceted.
Any tips,
I have tried a lot of steps online but none seem to work.
At the moment no colour is shown when selected
Wanting to add color to the selected item when selected.
You could use visual-state-manager to change the color of selected item,set swip background color as white, and add VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups for swip like below:
<CollectionView x:Name="nList" SelectionMode="Single">
<CollectionView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<SwipeView BackgroundColor="White">
<SwipeView.RightItems>
<SwipeItem Text="Delete" BackgroundColor="Red" >
</SwipeItem>
</SwipeView.RightItems>
<StackLayout Padding="5" Orientation="Vertical">
<Label LineBreakMode="WordWrap" Text="{Binding Name}" />
</StackLayout>
<VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>
<VisualStateGroup Name="CommonStates">
<VisualState Name="Normal" />
<VisualState Name="Selected">
<VisualState.Setters>
<Setter Property="BackgroundColor" Value="Yellow" />
</VisualState.Setters>
</VisualState>
</VisualStateGroup>
</VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>
</SwipeView>
</DataTemplate>
</CollectionView.ItemTemplate>
</CollectionView>

I would like it to appear as below:
But, the GridView is shown with the rows height fixed with the images truncated, as below:
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance, sorry for my poor English.

You can try to modify your code as follows:
1.change the value of property HasUnevenRows from False to True for your Listview (ltvArquivoLista)
HasUnevenRows="True"
2.change Height of RowDefinition from 169 to * or Auto;
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="*"></RowDefinition>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="347"></ColumnDefinition>
<ColumnDefinition Width="40"></ColumnDefinition>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>

You could binding true or false for the IsExpanded property to indicate that the Expander is expanded or collapsed.
I make a simple example for your reference.
Model:
public class Model : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
#region fields
public string _synonyms;
public string _s;
public bool _isexpand;
#endregion
public string Synonyms
{
get { return _synonyms; }
set { _synonyms = value; OnPropertyChanged("Synonyms"); }
}
public string s
{
get { return _s; }
set { _s = value; OnPropertyChanged("s"); }
}
public bool ISexpand
{
get { return _isexpand; }
set { _isexpand = value; OnPropertyChanged("ISexpand"); }
}
public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
protected void OnPropertyChanged(string propertyName)
{
var handler = PropertyChanged;
if (handler != null)
handler(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(propertyName));
}
}
ViewModel:
public class ViewModel1
{
public ObservableCollection<Model> models { get; set; }
public ViewModel1()
{
CreateCollection();
}
public void CreateCollection()
{
models = new ObservableCollection<Model>()
{
new Model(){ Synonyms="Synonym1", s="A", ISexpand=false},
new Model(){ Synonyms="Synonym2", s="B",ISexpand=false},
new Model(){ Synonyms="Synonym3", s="C",ISexpand=false},
new Model(){ Synonyms="Synonym4", s="D",ISexpand=false},
new Model(){ Synonyms="Synonym5", s="E",ISexpand=false},
};
}
}

Xamarin form: BindingProperty not setting the property

I am having trouble on my custom control with binding property. It used to be worked when pcl project. After pulling the code out into .net standard 2.0 with latest xamarin form package, it's not working.
This is the setup i have
public static readonly BindableProperty ChildProperty = BindableProperty.Create(nameof(Child), typeof(ChildModel), typeof(ChildModel), null, BindingMode.OneWay, propertyChanging: (BindableObject bindable, object oldValue, object newValue) => {
var a = newValue;
});
and the property is
public ChildModel Child
{
get
{
return (ChildModel)GetValue(ChildProperty);
}
set
{
SetValue(ChildProperty, value);
}
}
I can see newValue does have the childModel data passing in the callback. The GetValue of the second set of code always return null.

Cardview in Xamarin.Forms?

Does anyone know if it's possible to create a CardView style (scrollable) list using Xamarin.Forms? We need it to render same on both iOS and Android. Also need to tweak properties like the shadow (to slightly raise each card)
Here is a nuget: https://github.com/tiger4589/Xamarin.Forms-CardView
Cardview control in Xamarin.Froms.
Install it in your shared project only and use the following import in your page's xaml:
xmlns:cardView="clr-namespace:CardView;assembly=CardView"
Just use the control in viewcell of your listview.
Example screenshot: each card is a row in listview
Following code is an usage example of above control:
<ListView
x:Name="listView"
Margin="0,8,0,0"
HasUnevenRows="True"
ItemTapped="Handle_ItemTapped"
ItemsSource="{Binding HouseholdDetail}"
SeparatorVisibility="None">
<ListView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<ViewCell>
<StackLayout Padding="8,8,8,8" Orientation="Vertical">
<cardView:CardView
BackgroundColor="White"
CardViewHasShadow="True"
HeightRequest="220">
<cardView:CardView.CardViewContent>
<StackLayout
Padding="10"
HorizontalOptions="Center"
Spacing="10"
VerticalOptions="Center">
<Image HeightRequest="96" Source="{Binding Image}" />
<BoxView
HeightRequest="1"
WidthRequest="275"
Color="LightGray" />
<Grid>
<Label
Grid.Row="0"
Grid.Column="0"
Margin="15,0,0,0"
FontSize="Medium"
Text="{Binding FullName}" />
<Label
Grid.Row="0"
Grid.Column="1"
Margin="0,0,15,0"
FontSize="Medium"
HorizontalTextAlignment="End"
Text="{Binding Relation}" />
</Grid>
<BoxView
HeightRequest="1"
WidthRequest="275"
Color="LightGray" />
<Grid>
<Label
Grid.Row="0"
Grid.Column="0"
Margin="15,0,0,0"
FontSize="Medium"
Text="{Binding LeavesAt}" />
<Label
Grid.Row="0"
Grid.Column="1"
Margin="0,0,15,0"
FontSize="Medium"
HorizontalTextAlignment="End"
Text="{Binding ArrivesAt}" />
</Grid>
</StackLayout>
</cardView:CardView.CardViewContent>
</cardView:CardView>
</StackLayout>
</ViewCell>
</DataTemplate>
</ListView.ItemTemplate>
</ListView>
Here you may notice the freedom you have such as you can define to have shadow or not and design the whole layout of cardview using Xamarin default layouts.
Why not use a frame? i am put inside at the listview, a frame with grid.
and do something like this to get the style cardview you like.
public class CardView : Frame
{
public CardView()
{
if (Device.OS == TargetPlatform.iOS)
{
HasShadow = false;
OutlineColor = Color.Transparent;
BackgroundColor = Color.Transparent;
}
if (Device.OS == TargetPlatform.Android)
{
HasShadow = true;
OutlineColor = Color.Transparent;
BackgroundColor = Color.Transparent;
}
}
}
No need Third party library
it is support scrollable and pullrefresh
<StackLayout>
<ListView x:Name="ItemsListView"
ItemsSource="{Binding Items}"
VerticalOptions="FillAndExpand"
HasUnevenRows="true"
RefreshCommand="{Binding LoadItemsCommand}"
IsPullToRefreshEnabled="true"
IsRefreshing="{Binding IsBusy, Mode=OneWay}"
CachingStrategy="RecycleElement"
ItemSelected="OnItemSelected">
<ListView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<ViewCell>
<StackLayout Padding="10">
<Frame HasShadow="True" >
<StackLayout>
<Label Text="{Binding Text}"
LineBreakMode="NoWrap"
FontSize="16" />
<Label Text="{Binding Description}"
LineBreakMode="NoWrap"
