I have a Stacklayout that contains another Stacklayout and an Image. In order to have rounded corners for both children of the top Stacklayout, I added Frame for each child. Now, only the second child (Image) appear no matter how I change the visibility of the two children.
<StackLayout HeightRequest="135" WidthRequest="100" Margin="5,5" Grid.Row="0" Spacing="0" HorizontalOptions="Start" VerticalOptions="Start">
<Frame IsVisible="false" CornerRadius="5" IsClippedToBounds="True" Padding="0" HasShadow="False" x:Name="InitialsFrame">
<StackLayout IsVisible="false" HeightRequest="100" WidthRequest="100" BackgroundColor="{Binding Color}">
<Label FontSize="60" Text="{Binding Initials}" TextColor="White" HorizontalOptions="Center" VerticalOptions="CenterAndExpand" HorizontalTextAlignment="Center" VerticalTextAlignment="Center" MaxLines="1" x:Name="InitialsLabel">
</Label>
</StackLayout>
</Frame>
<Frame IsVisible="true" CornerRadius="5" IsClippedToBounds="True" Padding="0" x:Name="ImageFrame">
<Image IsVisible="true" Source="{Binding Image}" HeightRequest="100" WidthRequest="100" x:Name="IconImage" />
</Frame>
</StackLayout>
Without the two Frames, I could choose which child to appear by setting IsVisible to True. But now, setting IsVisible does not work any more. Is there another way to conditionally choose which child to appear?

I have one list and i don't want to use listview inside it as how can i make it scrollable, data is binding but i am not able to scroll it.
<Grid Grid.Row="0" IsVisible="{Binding SearchListLayout}" Margin="0" Padding="0" BackgroundColor="White">
<ScrollView>
<StackLayout BindableLayout.ItemsSource="{Binding ProductsList}" x:Name="SearchLayoutItemList" HeightRequest="255">
<BindableLayout.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Grid RowDefinitions="37,Auto">
<Image Grid.Row="0" Source="searchingicon.png" Style="{DynamicResource icons}"/>
<Label Grid.Row="0" Text="{Binding name}" FontSize="14" TextColor="Black" Margin="50,0,0,0" HorizontalOptions="StartAndExpand" VerticalOptions="CenterAndExpand"/>
<Image Grid.Row="0" Source="reload.png" Style="{DynamicResource icons}" HorizontalOptions="EndAndExpand" Margin="0,0,15,0"/>
<BoxView Grid.Row="1" Style="{DynamicResource DarkSeparator}" />
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
</BindableLayout.ItemTemplate>
</StackLayout>
</ScrollView>
</Grid>
Although the BindableLayout technically can display your list of items via the StackLayout, and the StackLayout height is being restraint to your height request; the encompassing ScrollViewer has nothing to scroll since it fully contains your StackLayout.
To achieve what you probably want (a fixed 255 pixel StackLayout that scrolls your items) the ScrollViewer should be inside the StackLayout as the rendered ItemsPanel for you Items. Again, you could achieve this with custom BindableLayouts, but this is exactly what Xamarin Forms ListView does by default.
You probably simply want to change your BindableLayout implementation to a ListView:
<Grid Grid.Row="0" IsVisible="{Binding SearchListLayout}" Margin="0" Padding="0" BackgroundColor="White">
<ListView ItemsSource="{Binding ProductsList}" x:Name="SearchLayoutItemList" HeightRequest="255">
<ListView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Grid RowDefinitions="37,Auto">
<Image Grid.Row="0" Source="searchingicon.png" Style="{DynamicResource icons}"/>
<Label Grid.Row="0" Text="{Binding name}" FontSize="14" TextColor="Black" Margin="50,0,0,0" HorizontalOptions="StartAndExpand" VerticalOptions="CenterAndExpand"/>
<Image Grid.Row="0" Source="reload.png" Style="{DynamicResource icons}" HorizontalOptions="EndAndExpand" Margin="0,0,15,0"/>
<BoxView Grid.Row="1" Style="{DynamicResource DarkSeparator}" />
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
</ListView.ItemTemplate>
</ListView>
</Grid>
The scrollview could not scroll as you set the HeightRequest="255" for the stacklayout in the scrollview. That because the display content's height is equal with the Scrollview, left content was covered.
Then I remove the HeightRequest
in StackLayout, the ScrollView could scroll. But the scrollview will fill the whole page which I thought is not what you want. So you could add parent layout Stacklayout outside the scrollview which set the size of scrollview equal to 255 and let it scroll at the same time. I just made an example :
<StackLayout>
<ScrollView HeightRequest="255">
<StackLayout BindableLayout.ItemsSource="{Binding ItemCollection}" x:Name="SearchLayoutItemList" >
<BindableLayout.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Grid RowDefinitions="37,Auto">
<Image Grid.Row="0" Source=""searchingicon.png"" />
<Label Grid.Row="0" Text="{Binding name}" FontSize="14" TextColor="Black" Margin="50,0,0,0" HorizontalOptions="StartAndExpand" VerticalOptions="CenterAndExpand"/>
<Image Grid.Row="0" Source="reload.png" HorizontalOptions="EndAndExpand" Margin="0,0,15,0"/>
<BoxView Grid.Row="1" BackgroundColor="Yellow"/>
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
</BindableLayout.ItemTemplate>
</StackLayout>
</ScrollView>
</StackLayout>
For more info, you could refer to Xamarin.Forms ScrollView.
Hope it works for you.
I need to display a list with about 30 to 40 items that the user has to choose from, and I don't wont to use a combobox, so a Listview seems the way to go.
However, once I put a listview on the page, the listview grows so much in height that it goes off the screen, how can I prevent that ?
I need something like this
<gttCompound:PageBase xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
xmlns:gttCompound="clr-namespace:gttCompound.Pages"
x:Class="gttCompound.Pages.PageDamageSelectFromList">
<gttCompound:PageBase.ChildStackLayoutContent>
<StackLayout Orientation="Vertical" VerticalOptions="FillAndExpand" Margin="5, 5">
<StackLayout VerticalOptions="Start" Orientation="Horizontal" HorizontalOptions="Center">
<Label Text="SELECT THE DAMAGE LOCATION" FontAttributes="Bold" FontSize="{StaticResource FontSizeLabelSmall}" TextColor="{StaticResource TextColor}" ></Label>
</StackLayout>
<StackLayout x:Name="entirePage" BackgroundColor="Yellow">
<ListView x:Name="listView" ItemsSource="{Binding Items}" Margin="0" BackgroundColor="Red">
<!-- ListView Stuff -->
</ListView>
</StackLayout>
<StackLayout HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand" Orientation="Horizontal" VerticalOptions="EndAndExpand">
<Button x:Name="ButtonDamageBack" WidthRequest="150" FontAttributes="Bold" HorizontalOptions="Start" TextTransform="Uppercase" Text="{Binding Back}" BackgroundColor="{StaticResource ElementBackgroundColor}" TextColor="{StaticResource ElementTextColor}" FontSize="{StaticResource FontSizeButtonLittle}" />
<Button x:Name="ButtonDamageNext" WidthRequest="150" FontAttributes="Bold" HorizontalOptions="EndAndExpand" TextTransform="Uppercase" IsEnabled="False" Text="{Binding Next}" BackgroundColor="{StaticResource ElementDisabledBackgroundColor}" TextColor="{StaticResource ElementTextColor}" FontSize="{StaticResource FontSizeButtonLittle}" />
</StackLayout>
</StackLayout>
</gttCompound:PageBase.ChildStackLayoutContent>
I gave some elements a noticable background color so I can see how much space they take
The listview takes way to much space.
Might it be because the page is an inherited page ?
The base page looks like this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<ContentPage xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms"

Here is how the form looks like at runtime
And without the listview it looks like this
I changed just this
<StackLayout x:Name="entirePage" BackgroundColor="Yellow">
<!--
<ListView x:Name="listView" ItemsSource="{Binding Items}" Margin="0" BackgroundColor="Red">
</ListView>
-->
</StackLayout>
What I want is that the listview is visible and scrollable, but the 2 buttons should always stay visible. The listview must only occupy the space between the label on top of the page and the 2 buttons on the bottom of the page.
How can I do that ?
1) REMOVE ScrollView.
2) <StackLayout x:Name="ChildStackLayout" VerticalOptions="FillAndExpand" .... Try different VerticalOptions. Try Center. Also try CenterAndExpand..
3) If still wrong, change the outer StackLayout to Grid, and use RowDefinitions="Auto,*,Auto", with the 3 sections marked Grid.Row="0" / "1" / "2".
ChildStackLayout is "1" (numbered from 0), so gets the * in RowDefinitions.

On the picture above you can see where the ImageButton sometimes activates. When I spam clicking in the blue area the counter sometimes increases. I think there might be another Layer on top of the ImageButton but I dont know how to fix it. Below there is the XAML code. Hopefully somebody can help. Thanks!

Here the C# Code:

public partial class MainPage : ContentPage
{
int clickTotal;
public MainPage()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void ImageButton_Clicked(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
clickTotal += 1;
label.Text = $"{clickTotal} ImageButton click{(clickTotal == 1 ? "" : "s")}";
}
}
}
Check VisualElement.InputTransparent Property.
false if the element and its children should receive input; true if neither the element nor its children should receive input and should, instead, pass inputs to the elements that are visually behind the current visual element. Default is false.
What you need is to set InputTransparent to true on the text stackLayout .
<StackLayout InputTransparent="True" Margin="0,10" VerticalOptions="EndAndExpand" BackgroundColor="SaddleBrown">
<Label Text="{Binding name_norm}" TextColor="White" FontSize="16" FontAttributes="Bold" Margin="15,-10,0,0" VerticalOptions="EndAndExpand" />

</StackLayout>

Okay I found the Problem. It was that before I put the red Flag on the Top and the text at the bottom in one Stacklayout which expanded from top to bottom. Now that i put them in seperate StackLayouts it works and the ImageButton is free.

New Question now. Since at the bottom there is the Text StackLayout, where the Text is I cant press the ImageButton. How can I put the ImageButton as top "layer" so I can also press it while pressing on the text.
I am trying to disable scrolling in my collection view. The reason why I want to do that is there is a scroll view already in my XAML code. When I try to scroll all page elements on the page, collection view elements are also scrolled themselves but I don't want that.
<ScrollView>
<StackLayout Padding="20" Spacing="20" >
<Frame CornerRadius="15"
BackgroundColor="#A6EDB3"
VerticalOptions="StartAndExpand"
HeightRequest="200"
IsClippedToBounds="True"
Padding="0" >
<StackLayout Padding="10,5,10,5"
Orientation="Horizontal" >
<Image Source="settingsIcon"
HeightRequest="25"
WidthRequest="25"
Aspect="Fill" />
<Label Text="Filter"
FontSize="Medium"
VerticalTextAlignment="Center"
VerticalOptions="Center"/>
</StackLayout>
</Frame>
<Label Text="Vocabulary topics" TextColor="black" FontSize="20" FontAttributes="Bold" ></Label>
<CollectionView x:Name="topics" Scrolled="topics_Scrolled" VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Never" >
<CollectionView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackLayout Padding="0,10,0,10">
<Frame HasShadow="False"
HeightRequest="60"
CornerRadius="15"
BackgroundColor="{Binding BackgroundColor}"
HorizontalOptions="Fill" >
<StackLayout Orientation="Horizontal">
<Frame BackgroundColor="{Binding BoxColor}" WidthRequest="40" ></Frame>
<StackLayout>
<Label Text="{Binding Name}"></Label>
</StackLayout>
</StackLayout>
</Frame>
</StackLayout>
</DataTemplate>
</CollectionView.ItemTemplate>
</CollectionView>
</StackLayout>
</ScrollView>
Having two scrolls on the same page is not the correct way.
Also if you just want to place items above/below your collectionView use the Header/Footer properties then!!
For instance, for the current design, your CollectionView could look something like below and work as you want it to.
<CollectionView Padding="20" x:Name="topics" Scrolled="topics_Scrolled" VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Never" >
<CollectionView.Header>
<StackLayout Spacing="20" >
<Frame CornerRadius="15"
BackgroundColor="#A6EDB3"
VerticalOptions="StartAndExpand"
HeightRequest="200"
IsClippedToBounds="True"
Padding="0" >
<StackLayout Padding="10,5,10,5"
Orientation="Horizontal" >
<Image Source="settingsIcon"
HeightRequest="25"
WidthRequest="25"
Aspect="Fill" />
<Label Text="Filter"
FontSize="Medium"
VerticalTextAlignment="Center"
VerticalOptions="Center"/>
</StackLayout>
</Frame>
<Label Text="Vocabulary topics" TextColor="black" FontSize="20" FontAttributes="Bold" ></Label>
</StackLayout>
</CollectionView.Header>
<CollectionView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackLayout Padding="0,10,0,10">
<Frame HasShadow="False"
HeightRequest="60"
CornerRadius="15"
BackgroundColor="{Binding BackgroundColor}"
HorizontalOptions="Fill" >
<StackLayout Orientation="Horizontal">
<Frame BackgroundColor="{Binding BoxColor}" WidthRequest="40" ></Frame>
<StackLayout>
<Label Text="{Binding Name}"></Label>
</StackLayout>
</StackLayout>
</Frame>
</StackLayout>
</DataTemplate>
</CollectionView.ItemTemplate>
</CollectionView>
Note: you might have to adjust the margin and padding properties for it to look the exact same. My code is just an example.
For more information on CollectionView check: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/xamarin-forms/user-interface/collectionview/
You can use InputTransparent.
In your case what I would do would be to wrap the CollectionView in a <ContentView> as:
<ContentView InputTransparent="True"
x:Name="content">
<CollectionView ItemsSource="{Binding Items}"...>
...
</CollectionView>
</ContentView>
Create a scroll event to your scroll view:
<ScrollView Scrolled="ScrollView_Scrolled">
...
</ScrollView>
Then, with this event, make sure that the InputTransparent switches depending on the scroll position:
private void ScrollView_Scrolled(object sender, ScrolledEventArgs e)
{
var scrollView = sender as ScrollView;
// Get the height of your scroll view
var contentSize = scrollView.ContentSize.Height;
// Get the max position of the scrollview
var maxPos = contentSize - scrollView.Height;
// Compare it to the current position
if (Convert.ToInt16(e.ScrollY) >= Convert.ToInt16(maxPos))
{
// Switch input transparent value
content.InputTransparent = false;
}
else if (Convert.ToInt16(e.ScrollY) == 0)
{
content.InputTransparent = true;
}
}
This is perfectly fine to use two scrollable controls on the same page for what you want to do. And I don't think <CollectionView.Header> would give you the result you want.
I hope it was helpful! 🙂
I'm having problem with not being able to stack two labels in a StackLayout and fit the content without a margin.
Expected result:
Current output:
I have tried and set the VerticalOptions, Margin and Padding properties but it still contains the margin (the red background) as well as the second content is not touching the "ceiling" of it's StackLayout parent.
Current code:

<StackLayout HorizontalOptions="Center" VerticalOptions="Center">
