I have a business requirement to build a flyout menu with multiple columns. The menu will have all the basic flyout behaviors bit it has to have a narrow static column on the left side with 3 buttons in it and then have the regular scrollable flyout menu next to it. Is it possible at this time to do a completely custom layout within xamarin forms shell for the flyout?
You could use the FlyoutContentTemplate to do that.
<Shell.FlyoutContentTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackLayout Orientation="Horizontal">
<StackLayout BackgroundColor="Purple">
<Button Text="home" />
<Button Text="dash" />
<Button Text="chat" />
</StackLayout>
<CollectionView
BindingContext="{x:Reference shell}"
IsGrouped="True"
ItemsSource="{Binding FlyoutItems}">
<CollectionView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Label
FontSize="Large"
Text="{Binding Title}"
TextColor="Black" />
</DataTemplate>
</CollectionView.ItemTemplate>
</CollectionView>
</StackLayout>
</DataTemplate>
</Shell.FlyoutContentTemplate>

I have a slight problem with XamarinForms, which I am fairly new with.
I do have a grid with several Items in it (ListView, Label, Stacklayout, Listview).
I thought setting RowDefinitions = "Auto" for each row, would make the whole Page scrollable.
But instead I have a scrollbar on each individual listView.
I have added a snippet of my code with one of the listViews inside.
How do I get the listViews shown in their full size and the scrollbar be for the whole page?
I have already tried a scrollview instead of the grid, but it did not work.

Xamarin Forms:
<Grid
Padding="10"
RowDefinitions="Auto,Auto,Auto,Auto"
ColumnDefinitions="*"
>
<Label Padding="20" FontAttributes="Bold" FontSize="40" Text="{Binding DisplayName}" Grid.Row="0"/>
<ListView ItemsSource="{Binding News}"
HasUnevenRows="True"
IsPullToRefreshEnabled="False"
Grid.Row="1">
<ListView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<ViewCell>
<StackLayout Padding="10">
<Label Text="{Binding DateTimeString}"/>
<Label Text="{Binding Text}" MaxLines="4"/>
</StackLayout>
</ViewCell>
</DataTemplate>
</ListView.ItemTemplate>
<ListView.Header>
<Grid ColumnDefinitions="*,Auto"
Padding="10"
VerticalOptions="Center">
<Label Text="News"
Grid.Column="0"
FontAttributes="Bold"
FontSize="32"/>
<Label Text="mehr Anzeigen"
Grid.Column="1"
HorizontalTextAlignment="End"/>
</Grid>
</ListView.Header>
</ListView>
You can put the items in ScrollView which is capable of scrolling its content.

Is it possible to implement auto-scrolling when a user drags an item to the edge of visibible part of a CollectionView? Or StackLayout. Look's like there is no way to do this out of the box and no respective nuget packages exist. I've tried to implement this myself, but couldn't figure out which methods to override and for which of the entities. DragGestureRecognizer seemed to be promising, but still- no luck.
Here are the codes I used,drag one item to the edge and the list will scroll until reach the last item.
<ContentPage.BindingContext>
<local:PeopleViewModel/>
</ContentPage.BindingContext>
<StackLayout>
<Frame BackgroundColor="AliceBlue">
<CollectionView x:Name="mycol" ItemsSource="{Binding pgs}">
<CollectionView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Frame CornerRadius="10" BackgroundColor="LightPink">
<Label Text="{Binding Name}" FontSize="Large">
<Label.GestureRecognizers>
<DragGestureRecognizer DragStarting="OnDragstarting"/>
</Label.GestureRecognizers>
</Label>
</Frame>
</DataTemplate>
</CollectionView.ItemTemplate>
</CollectionView>
</Frame>
</StackLayout>
</ContentPage>
I'm making a simple listview and got a problem with iOS header - I want to make it transparent, but the problem is, that listview items are sliding under heading. What I want to achieve, is that heading will slide up with listview items.
This is how it looks now
And this is how current code looks like:
<ListView x:Name="SingleBeanView"
ItemsSource="{Binding Beans}"
IsGroupingEnabled="true"
Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="0" Grid.ColumnSpan="2"
BackgroundColor="Transparent">
<ListView.GroupHeaderTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<ViewCell ios:Cell.DefaultBackgroundColor="Transparent" Height="52">
<Label Text="{Binding Heading}" TextColor="{StaticResource LightTextColor}" FontSize="Large" HorizontalOptions="Start" VerticalOptions="Start" Margin="15,10,0,0"/>
</ViewCell>
</DataTemplate>
</ListView.GroupHeaderTemplate>
<ListView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<ViewCell>
<StackLayout BackgroundColor="Transparent" Orientation="Vertical">
<StackLayout Orientation="Horizontal">
<Label Text="{Binding Field1}"/>
<Label Text="{Binding Field2}"/>
<Label Text="{Binding Field3}"/>
</StackLayout>
</StackLayout>
</ViewCell>
</DataTemplate>
</ListView.ItemTemplate>
</ListView>
Unfortunately , if using GroupHeader in ListView , this can not achieve your want.This effect is designed by Apple . If want to modify ,this need more things and time to do about customing listview.
Here is a solution for native ios, you can have a try with custom renderer to do.However, after testing this can not work in Xamarin.
So the last way maybe need custom cell to realize it--Puttinng header in Cell . Then That means you can not use GroupHeaderTemplate.

Hi i have a list view in which i added ContextActions.
i need to change Text Size, color and alignment of menu item in context actions,
also i want to increase width of context action on which menu item is appearing?
Thanks in advance.
<ListView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<customControls:ExtendedViewCell SelectedBackgroundColor="Transparent" >
<ViewCell.ContextActions>
<MenuItem Text="Call" />
<MenuItem Text="Delete" IsDestructive="True" />
</ViewCell.ContextActions>
<ViewCell.View>
<StackLayout HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand"
VerticalOptions="FillAndExpand" Orientation="Vertical"
Padding="4" Spacing="8">
<Label TextColor="OrangeRed" Text="{Binding Title}" />
<Label TextColor="Blue" Text="{Binding Subtitle} "/>
</StackLayout>
</ViewCell.View>
</customControls:ExtendedViewCell>
</DataTemplate>
</ListView.ItemTemplate>
After you change the content of the cell, call ForceUpdateSize()

I am looking for a cross platform swipe on ListView to perform an action such as opening a menu or deleting an item.
Has anyone implemented such a scenario? I would like to for instance delete an item when swiping on item to left.
I need to support all platforms: ios/droid/win
The easiest way would be to use the built-in Context Actions, this allows you to show menu items when your list item is swiped on iOS or long pressed on Android
<ListView x:Name="ContextDemoList">
<ListView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<ViewCell>
<ViewCell.ContextActions>
<MenuItem Clicked="OnMore" CommandParameter="{Binding .}"
Text="More" />
<MenuItem Clicked="OnDelete" CommandParameter="{Binding .}"
Text="Delete" IsDestructive="True" />
</ViewCell.ContextActions>
<StackLayout Padding="15,0">
<Label Text="{Binding title}" />
</StackLayout>
</ViewCell>
</DataTemplate>
</ListView.ItemTemplate>
</ListView>
https://developer.xamarin.com/guides/xamarin-forms/user-interface/listview/interactivity/#Context_Actions
If swiping is a requirement for both platforms, or you need to do an action when the item is swiped (Instead of showing menu items) then i'd recommend SyncFucion's listview control, it is available with a Community licence and it offers more flexibility
<syncfusion:SfListView x:Name="listView" AllowSwiping="True">
<syncfusion:SfListView.LeftSwipeTemplate>
<DataTemplate x:Name="LeftSwipeTemplate">
<Grid>
<Grid BackgroundColor="#009EDA" HorizontalOptions="Fill" VerticalOptions="Fill" Grid.Column="0">
<Grid VerticalOptions="Center" HorizontalOptions="Center">
<Image Grid.Column="0"
Grid.Row="0"
BackgroundColor="Transparent"
HeightRequest="35"
WidthRequest="35"
Source="Favorites.png" />
</Grid>
</Grid>
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
</syncfusion:SfListView.LeftSwipeTemplate>
</syncfusion:SfListView>

You can use SwipeView and wrap it in a ListView.
<ListView
ItemsSource="{Binding Items}"
SelectionMode="None"
CachingStrategy="RecycleElement"
RowHeight="110"
HeightRequest="1000"
BackgroundColor="White"
IsPullToRefreshEnabled="True"
Refreshing="OnRefresh">
<ListView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<ViewCell>
<SwipeView>
<SwipeView.GestureRecognizers>
<TapGestureRecognizer
Tapped="OnTapped"
NumberOfTapsRequired="1" />
</SwipeView.GestureRecognizers>
<SwipeView.RightItems>
<SwipeItems>
<SwipeItem
Text="Edit"
IconImageSource="edit_icon.png"
BackgroundColor="Green"
Invoked="OnEdit" />
<SwipeItem
Text="Delete"
IconImageSource="delete_icon.png"
BackgroundColor="Red"
Invoked="OnDelete" />
</SwipeItems>
</SwipeView.RightItems>
<SwipeView.Content>
:
</SwipeView.Content>
</SwipeView>
</ViewCell>
</DataTemplate>
</ListView.ItemTemplate>
